Copier Auto-Translates Japanese to English

They probably used it to translate the instruction manual into Engrish.
Most of the stuff on
They did something like this with a Japanese car manual a long time ago; it ended up something like: "If a passenger of foot should obstacle your passage, tootle the horn. Tootle him melodiously at first, but if he continues obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor."
