What device do you use to cheat interlock switch, door switch and others. Many would not stay put would not fit properly and sometime would even damage the switches if not used correctly. want to hear what you guys use. If you have pics that would be better.

Re: Cheaters
Thank you all for the reply. The vinyl tubing works excellent, but must be at least half inch in width. i tried a smaller size but it twist easily and falls out. paper works , but tend not to stay and you have to cut the paper in the correct size ect.
My trick is to take a tie wrap and bend it in half in a bow pattern with the grip side facing outwards and wrap a piece of electrical wire on the ends. This works very good.
I use these everday and hates when they slip or keep slowly sliding out and not stay in place. the tie wrap can be thin and will fit in any hole and most likely you would have in your bag if you need a cheater quickly. i should post a pic. this tool, and yes it is an essential tool, saves a lot of time wasting.
Others may have their own design, please share if you have something ingeniousTHE ONLY THING FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING..........edmund burkeComment

Re: Cheaters
For years I used 3/8" (10mm) ID vinyl tubing. Bit by bit is been trimmed and used for other things (from 6" down to nothing), until it is completely gone. Recently I dug through my tubing box, and found a very nice 4" length of 3/16" (5mm) ID fuel line. It's very soft, and works better than the vinyl. Like subaro suggests, the best OD is about 1/2" (13mm). =^..^=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.

Re: Cheaters
Here are two of my cheaters i use every day. these do not slip. i can squeeze it to fit any size hole and adjust easily. I tried many things, but so far these work the best.

Re: Cheaters
Canon at least used to sell one as as service tool.
Its shaped evolved over the years to fit new models.
I think it was made of aluminum, but could have been just about any alloy or compound.
I must have had at least 10 of them stashed in various places. I managed to lose them all over time.“I think you should treat good friends like a fine wine. That’s why I keep mine locked up in the basement.” - Tim HawkinsComment

Re: Cheaters
I have a door cheat similar 'L' shape design with slots cut here and there for various makes and models.
It was original an ooooldddd Toshiba door cheat. I modified it over the years for Canon, Ricoh ,Sharp, and Brother; and just recently Xerox.
It's not always a perfect fit for every slot but it does the job.Inauguration to the "AI cancel-culture" fraternity 1997...
