    But they didn't change a single part. Not even to make the machine operable. Typically, it was the salesman's job to run the machine in the office for a week or so to identify the typical failures for that model, and change out the parts that were needed.

        It's a funny thing about those plastics:

        Certainly, the ultraviolet rays from the sun accelerated the process, but it went by batches too. I remember specific machines in which most of the covers had yellowed a bit, and one tray specifically turned almost brown by comparison. Individual batches of plastic yellow much more than others in the same environment. =^..^=
        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.

            1. disassembly the yellow plastics part
            2. sand it down with fine grit sand paper
            3. spray it using pylox / can spray paint
            4. wait 20-30 minutes to dry
            4. spray clear / doff coat

            it will last a long time.
