"You can't trust your eyes, if your mind is out of focus" --
I was doing a PM on a Kyocera 250ci in the workshop on Friday. I had to take the laser out and to do this involves swinging the main pwb pcb out of the way. The board looked very dusty so I picked up a can and sprayed it.
It was foam cleaner !
Its got the weekend to dry out.

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

This is stupid and embarrassing. Yesterday I was doing a printer repair and the poc needed some of my business cards. He followed me out to the truck, helping me carry a couple of boxes. I put my folder on the roof, put the boxes in the back, opened the truck and got some cards from under the seat. He thanked me, I think I saw a squirrel then shut the door and left. Went around the corner, made a left, stopped at the light. Light turns green, I cross and turn to the right, hear an odd noise and look in the mirror to see all of my paperwork flying out of the notebook that is still on my roof. I stopped and ran back where 3 soldiers were helping me pick them up.
I went back to the shop, threw down a big pile of papers on my table and exclaimed "I really don't want to hear any shit about tire tracks on any of the paperwork I turn in!"

My philosophy is you learn by your mistakes, there by meaning I must be a genius .
My favourite lesson was at a monastery that had a Panasonic 35cpm B/W. You were lucky to get anything out of one of those.
This particular day I was having paper jams in the machine exit/finisher entrance area. Out of sheer desperation I remember pulling the finisher away from the machine, but still wired to the machine. I proceeded to give it a blast of air from my air can... the last thing I remember is the flash of the fire ball and the bolts from the sky light above raining down on my head. Standing there stunned and the hair on my arms and what used to be my eyebrows still smouldering, someone pops their head around the door to find out where the source of the explosion came from. I said it may have been the builder knocking down a wall near by, not sure she bought it as I was still smoking a little.
Somehow the machine was still working, can't remember if I sorted the problem after all.....
