Re: The random thought thread
Couldn't find an appropriate thread to put this in, and didn't feel like drawing attention to myself by starting a new one:
After replacing pickup, feed and separation rollers, one way clutches and torque limiter, motor and control board, I find the cause of the intermittent but damn-near constant 15-01 jam from PC-409 to be caused by the mylar guide on the inside of the tray.
I was alternately ecstatic and very angry.
Mostly angry with myself for wasting so much time and money by not seeing the problem the first time. The adhesive portion of the mylar was askew ever so slightly but enough to the point where the feed assembly would attempt to feed the mylar, or it wouldn't pick up paper at all and just throw the jam due to timing.
Replaced the mylar (because it is at least two years old and in an office with higher than normal humidity 8 months out of the year) because the adhesive had failed partially and the mylar was pointing higher than it should have been. Hasn't jammed since.
Edit: this issue took four visits over a period of six weeks before I discovered the blasted mylar.

Re: The random thought thread
I sure know how that feels. Once you find the culprit, it seems obvious as hell, and how could I have missed 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 had a box elder bug infestation that worked a lot like that. They make a great "CRUNCH" when passing through the fuser. and leave a 25mm greasy spot on the paper. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

Im back!!
Weather was perfect in the cascades for a week.
Got to see the sunrise over the Cascades from Baker summit.
I'm very jealous of those of you who live in the Pacific Northwest.

Re: The random thought thread
Good one!...
I'm sitting looking at my PC... Looking out the window... feeling a tad envious...
My mates an I did a lot of motorcycle riding in the forestry in my early youth.
I just reminisce on that feeling of freedom for a few seconds...
Ah well, back to reality..... <thud>...Inauguration to the "AI cancel-culture" fraternity 1997...
