    Re: OH the mighty paper clip!

    I carry 3 sizes of paper clips along with 2 sizes of binder clips. You never know when you need something a little thicker or have to hold something in place until the epoxy dries. I have engineered more repairs than I can remember through the years.
    Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

    Stronger than SPC and LPC are coathanger, and fence wire. But the fence wire requires those big fence pliers that I don't carry around in my toolbag. =^..^=
    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.

    No one's mentioned replacing e-clips? Now, I carry a ton of spares, but in the past I twisted those suckers around the shaft and slept like a baby.

    When we replace parts, I usually go through the old parts and strip them for pins and clips--both plastic and metal. I have a lot on my van and in a small box in my tool bag.

    I use safety wire, a little bit easier to bend and twist.
