    I hope that you've got experienced techs to learn from (including us, of course).

    I want you learn a word: "why?" For example, "Why does that fix the problem?".
    And: "how?" For example, "How does that simulation function?"
    At first it's kind of annoying, but that's the only way you can learn a lot quickly. Show that you're paying attention, and really want to know the answer, and it will become less annoying. Others will respect you for 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.

        Learn and ALWAYS remember the basic principals. If you return to them you will fix 99% of faults.

              I'm a practicing technician, every time I open my kit or turn a screw, I'm getting more and more practice.

                Plumbers probably make more money.
                Janitors have less stress from clients (most work at night when clients aren't around)

                oh and

                Plumbers and janitors show more crack.
                Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                  Ive been a tech for over 30 years,but because of not keeping up with the newer equipment I also clean offices at nite(janitor),It can be a strain physically doing office cleaning but At least I can take my time doing it not having to make 3 service calls in the next hour.

                            That would qualify you as a master technician, imo-
