      I hope they drop a $10,000 check behind it.

        I think there's room to stack some reams of paper on edge on either side. =^..^=
        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.

            ... sometimes the wheels on the Finisher rotates 360 degrees allowing the copier to be pulled forward for servicing.

                And if not there appears to be just enough room to be able to separate the finisher from the copier.

                I doubt if there is enough room as it sets to open the right side jam door far enough to remove any jam. Unless you do separate the main frame and finisher.

                      How about a coat closet? This photo is AFTER I removed all the coats and UPS packages piled on top, with the door closed. They had a jam that they couldn't remove ... can't imagine why?:

                        Decades ago I had a customer in what was an old house converted to an office. A long narrow closet had been converted to a filing cabinet room. They had an Apeco Super Stat setting on top of a few 3 drawer file cabinets near the back. Hated having to work on that machine. No ventilation, it was hot and if I ever had to use lacquer thinner to clean rollers, I had a headache for 2 or 3 days.

                          I had a print shop at a School District that had 2 Production machines. They purchased white letter size paper by the truck load, 96 or 98 pallets. The pallets were stacked at the far end of the warehouse. He would bring a couple of stack of cases in and place them about 4 feet away from the Plockmatic exit. He would unwrap 6 reams and stack them on the counter, ready to load a tray when needed.

                            I could kick myself that I didn't take a picture of a printer from 4 years ago. This guy's office had a foot trail from the door to his desk. There was paper stacked all over floor, on chairs, on his desk etc. To be blunt this guy was a paper slob. I knocked on his door, told him I was there to service printer, and where is the printer? He said on his desk. I looked at him squarely and said on your desk? He then procedes to remove about 1 foot (I exagerate not) of papers from the top of this little hp 401. Paper was stacked to top of printer on both sides. That poor little sucker couldn't breathe. I told him to unplug the printer and bring it to me as I was not going to risk moving it myself. I replaced a print cartridge in the hall, ran a couple config pages and handed it back. Yikes!!!!

                              Many years ago in the analog days, I had a customer with an old Lanier (Rebranded Toshiba BD series) that had the paper cassettes inserted in the right side of the machine and an exit tray sticking out of the left side. The copier was in a small closet. He had cut holes in the wall on the right side of the closet to access the paper cassettes in the room to the right of the closet. He had holes in the wall on the left side of the closet to get the copies as they exited from the room to the left, which was his office. The only plus to the situation was the copier was a clamshell design, so jams were not usually difficult to remove. Trying to service the thing was a nightmare.
