    [Jamming] IRADV7065 Jam111 Solution (How a Paper Clip can save your Weekend)

    Just for the records:
    Emergency call on Friday afternoon, Mashine jams permanently and customer is in urgent need to finish the job until saturday morning. Got to the mashine and yes, it jams with code 111. Found out, that the sheet is running into the duplex way, even if single copy is engaged. The reason is, that an actuator which switches the exit gate is broken. So, what can i do now, on a friday afternoon without the necessary spare part?
    Looked around on the secretarys desk and found a big size paper clip, perfect, that is what i need
    Here is my McGyver Solution:

    Works like a charm, i think, i will not order the original spare part

            Nice work! I made a left rear door latch a couple weeks ago along the same lines, just slightly heavier wire: coat hanger. =^..^=
            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.
