    Pretty relaxed at our place. Smart trousers and shoes. Polo shirt or shirt (no tie).
    It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual.

    Usually I wear jeans, golf shirt (or regular collared shirt) and either my Adidas shell toes or Nike Cortez's. Sometimes if it's hot outside I'll wear shorts instead of jeans...

    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.

    We dress alike, except I use a belt and wear a Hawaiian shirt on Fridays. Also like the Johnny Cash reference. I am a big fan.

    all black like Mr. Cash, right down to the cowboy boots, no need to match socks.
    Here in BC the tie was deemed a safety hazard for service technicians.

    In my youth I inadvertently fed my tie through the single sheet bypass of a Mita DC-313Z. When it started getting really tight, I used the cutters fortuitously in my right hand to hack through the tie. It fed all the way to the exit tray, printed with an image of the space shuttle. You remember that Sel-Drum Test Sheet? It didn't even jam.

    If you're going to try this, I recommend removing the tie first. =^..^=

    As long as you must wear a tie, be absolutely sure to have a good tie clip. Back in the day when I had to wear a tie for work, I learned that very bad things happened when my tie got caught up in the works.
