I have been annoyed

I bought this machine from Lowes last year for 25 dollars I believe. It was a super sale item and was not out of the box. I first started using this in November of 2005 to send off my resume and cover letter. I used it twice then and everything was ok. I again started using this about a month ago and then the problems arose. I usually send 3 pages and just lay all of them in the tray after entering the number and then press send. But now it usually takes two pages through at once and does this continually. So now I have to manually feed the pages through one at a time in order to send my faxes properly. The funny thing is I just used the copy feature for the first time to test the paper feed mechanism. I did this 3 times and each sheet went through properly without me hand feeding it. Is this ironic or moronic?

The copying went off without a hitch and the printouts were admirable for such a cheap machine.
