    Canon's were great for that. Those little spring clips would drop right out with the slightest provocation. (Where's the damn clip!)

    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.

    My Leatherman was in my tools kit. Had to go to a local hardware store and get what ever I could.

    I can't remember if it was an Ace or a True Value. The town has both and they are about the length of a football field apart.

    That stomach churning sinking feeling you get when a simple frimwar update seems to take a very, very loooooong time!

    your in a good mood and do a pm to a copier and when finished it error codes, or you break something (and get that warm feeling over your body and think what the!) and have to order it because they are down. Then you have to tell customer.

    I went to an out of town team meeting a few months ago. Long drive, so I dressed somewhat casually to be comfortable driving.

    I alternate between two pairs of identical black dress shoes for work. Found out 30 minutes before the meeting that I packed 2 lefts.

    Had to wear my tennies to the meeting. Ugg.

    Or KM 6030 drum section pulled out took cleaning unit out to vacuum it out and customer decided to pass, "Sure Miss, no problem " slinged the drum section in and only to hear plastic crushing noise and spring flying, she must felt that I am just falling in love with her, judging from the color of my face... Those clips took 3 1/2 months to get to us. (White and gray spring loaded) apparetly noone could break them ... Manufacturer said!
    Lucky we had spare machine in stock!

    ... when you're doing a simple cleaning on a color machine and you damage the transfer belt that has been replaced less than a week ago! (Happened to me yesterday)

    ... when you're replacing a broken guide and when you're stretching the spring that goes with it it slips from your fingers and pewwww! - Flies away in a direction you can't determine at a customer full of stuff everywhere (Happened to me last week).

    C-clips and springs and awkward places in machine I cover the place with rag and only then work with clips and small fall in gearbox bits.

    Had one client 230 miles away and went there to sort image issues. PM was done about 6 moons ago. Pulled drum out covered it with rag and put it on floor. Initially lots of spots and streaks on drum. HV contact on back of machine was burned and bent Looked inside the machine and took few shots with my phone of how dusty it was inside. Put the phone on top of doc feeder and carried on working, sudden movement of the phone made my eyes wide open. Saw the fall in Slow-mo...Dang! Right on the drum. Lucky for me when assembled the spots remained so one extra dent didn't make any difference. Phone survived.

    Another story: Was new in the game and liked air dusting a lot. Decided to blow the dust from the mirrors. What a fatal mistake. Dust cloud covered the inside of CCD. Spots on copies, had to replace it.
