    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.
    Like this, I once had a Mita DC-111 (not-C) inside a wooden cabinet ~ 14" wider then the machine itself, and about 3" taller. It did not fit through the door on the front of the cabinet. You could however rotate the machine within the box to access parts in the rear. Removing jams was a treat since it was a clamshell, and the lid hit the top of the box, and the moving tabletop would slide to the right and hit the right wall. I was not able to remove or fully clean the optics, but I could access the CCD array to clean the lens with some tricky maneuvering. It was the old "ship in a bottle" situation. I still laugh when I think of it. =^..^=
    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.

        I recall early in my career, a nursing home, had a Sharp SD-2260 with 20 bin sorter in a closet, we had just a bit more room than the machine in the OP's pic, but not much, not a fun call to go on, to work on drive units, had to pull it out in the hall way, and of course, everybody has to waddle by on there walkers and wheelchairs to see what is going on, and a few would try to make off with my tools also. and I got back in the business after nearly a 2 year hiatus, thanks to COVID-19 and a furlough but hey, its a job again.

                From the nozzle on the valve I think it might be helium for filling balloons.

                    It's a condominium complex, so they put up fresh mylar balloons in front of the office every day promoting the latest available condos. That closet is adjoining an octagon lobby of ~600 ft2 with two chairs in it, lol.
