Giant Printers Only Print a Single E-Mail

This is an aspect about TNM which drives me crazy. I like being able to print out all the emails of all the characters of all factions, that way I feel thorough in my investigation. However, the giant mass printers in PDX and DXI, despite being bigger than the regular printers, are shoddy when it comes to printing multiple emails. I don't even see the sheets of paper: just single invisible sheet indicated by the selector brackets, and nothing else.

Was thing intentional? Or is it difficult to get those giant printer models to print out emails like the other printers do? Just seems odd to me that I can only get a selection of one email printout on a printer that should print out more.

I... don't really understand your reply. I was talking about in-game printers throughout my whole post. Two of the in-game printers, the mass printers in PDX and DXI, don't print much in comparison to the other in-game printers, and they're the only printers available in those maps. That's all I meant.

You didn't think that I was talking about real-life printers, were you?

No. Are you familiar with the expression "don't look the gift horse in the mouth"?

Don't complain, just be impressed and excited that this feature exists, because it's kind of esoteric and just represents the fact that we spent 7 years putting cool little things into the game for you to find and play around with.

I was just confused by your response. My fault.

I'm not complaining. I was just curious why the Network printers in-game printed things out differently from the regular printers. Believe me, I commend you and your team for working all those years to put awesome features like printing in DX1.... I'm just compulsive about printing things out completely! I need help! :)
