IRADV7065 Jam111 Solution (How a Paper Clip can save your Weekend)

[Herrmann]

Just for the records:
Emergency call on Friday afternoon, Mashine jams permanently and customer is in urgent need to finish the job until saturday morning. Got to the mashine and yes, it jams with code 111. Found out, that the sheet is running into the duplex way, even if single copy is engaged. The reason is, that an actuator which switches the exit gate is broken. So, what can i do now, on a friday afternoon without the necessary spare part?
Looked around on the secretarys desk and found a big size paper clip, perfect, that is what i need
Here is my McGyver Solution:
