If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.
Went thru the torture of going to a diamond mine today. The procedures are ridicules.
Whatever
Back in the day I used to fix collators and folders, had a secure site where you had to call at least 45 minutes in advance of arriving so they could cover all printed material in the (very big) room. The folder/stitcher took the output of the collator and made a booklet, non standard paper size they cut on site. I'd ask for test material and they'd hand cut some samples (groan), I'd fart around adjusting things - all side guides and straps etc. were almost infinitely adjustable, then when I got it running OK I'd have to step outside so they could run some of the 'real' material. I'd cool my heels for an hour or so, unable to leave because of security concerns, then they'd call me back in and say 'It's still doing it' GRRRRR - I had to troubleshoot by clairvoyance 'cause I never got to see any of the actual stuff they ran, I think it was the daily code books for secure radio communication, but that is just a guess.
The most usual thing was the big Bostitch wire stitcher heads, I got pretty good at rebuilding those and always had a supply of the 'swivels' on hand.
Nothing works quite so well that I can't totally disable it by trying to make it a little better.
Hehe, luckily i did not go into any of those areas but you do get breathalyzed in and out. You go into a small entrance and exit room where you cant get out if you don't have your tag or if you fail the test.
All automated stuff blow here to exit!
Wonder what will happen if you give off a good fart it there, would you still pass the test with the methane and all.
O was wondering what the 50 guys in black with guns was doing there.
Whatever
I once installed a Konica 7075 (percursor of the bizhub 920, I believe similar in size to the actual body of the 1052) on a magazine stand whose owner also wanted to make some copies. The area was so tiny that the machine was sold without any finishing options just because there wasn't any space for it.
Glad I never had to PM it. I can only imagine.

About prisons: The ones over here seem pretty relaxed compared to what I read so far.
Once went over the the local prison to see a machine.
First hand over the cell to the first guard - I'll get it on the way out. Okay, I guess.
Then the metal detector. Take keys, coins, whatever and go through. Not a beep. Fine.
Okay, "open up your tool case". "Well," I think, "this is going to be a short call." I mean, what can I possibly have here that *cannot* be used as a weapon? The cotton swabs are my only guess.
I open the bag wide, showing the assortment of screwdrivers, pliers and all the pointy stuff you know. Guard looks over, shrugs, and tells me "okay, you may go".
That left me surprised - specially when instead of an escort they just point me vaguely in the direction I should head to.
Apart for that, a perfectly normal call.

Here even taking your phone into the building is verboten. They expect you to keep it locked in your car unless you were dropped off, then they will have you lock it in a locker in the lobby, but they don't like it. We keep a list of what is in our tool kits that goes on the paperwork. It's supposed to be checked going in and going out, but that doesn't always happen.
I had similar happen at an Airport security station. I had to go through the terminal gates to get to the Security Admin Office.
Air Sec: Sir can you place your brief case(toolbag) on the tray.
Tool bag goes through the Xray machine. Holy crap....!!! you can't bring that in here.
Me: I have too, it's my job to service the Security Admin copier.
Air Sec : Hang on while I call my supervisor.
Air Sec Supervisor : No you can not bring that(bag) through.
Me : Your boss is going to be realllllly p!ssed....
Air sec Supervisor : Ring , Ring... random back and forward phone chatter.
Air Sec Supervisor : Ok sir we will have a security detail assigned to your toolcase and they will bring the toolcase out to the Security Admin Office.
Go on through.....
Me : Amazed at how security policy changes the closer you get to the top...
