    Because it unfolds and gets stuck...use a block of soft packing foam or a folded bit of silicone tubing !

    Paper is plentiful in my line of work. Lol It seems to do the trick quite nicely.

    I just came across a jig that held up the clamshells so they didn't fall on your hand while working on machine. Looks like it clipped on the shock rod. As the old timers probably remember the shocks never held the copiers open. Back then my long phillips screwdriver was used more to hold "clamshells" up then for screws!
    Absolutely right.
    Intsead screwdriver I was using machine own toner bag with their cap on(didn't crumple toner bag) plus give you more safety, screwdrivers are easy to slip out.

    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

    I had a wooden dowel to prop up the clamshells. It reminds me of a leg trap. The shock is holding, holding, holding, ... it seems OK ... you just don't know when it going to drop on your hand. I don't know if I still have it, Mita made an OEM prop for the DC-152, DC-1655, DC-1755. With the DF option the 1755 smashed a lot of hands. =^..^=
    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.

    Yep!....
    Jamb a long handle screw driver up under the clam shell strut to stop the upper frame from coming down on your hand.

    Ye ol' Toshiba's were a clam shell design. From the service tech point of view, the clam shell made servicing machines a tad quicker and parts removal a lot easier. Some of the old Canons were clam shell design too. Canon NP210 rings a bell.

    I preferred working on clam shell machines, it could reduce your busy service schedule down by an hour per day.
    Which got me home a couple of hours earlier if I was working out of town for a few days. I'd get home around 7pm instead of 9pm.

    There for a while (1989-1995) I would plan PMs at the print shops for the 5:00-10:00pm time window. This worked as well for companies with 2nd and 3rd shifts.

    No, there was no overtime. It was the only way to get the work done. But, alas, it went unrecognized and 16 hour got days get old really quickly. When I got an offer to switch employers I vowed that I wouldn't do that anymore. That was when I started the database. It consumed 25 hours a week, but at least it was home time. =^..^=
