Better you than me...moved a 6262 band printer from a warehouse office to our
DP office the other day, darn near killed ourselves even using a forklift to
get it from the docks to the office as tall as it is. I'm still amazed at some
of this stuff - how big it is and what it does, all on a standard 110v plugin.
I personally don't know if I'd want the 6262 in my house though.
