The issue with paper jams is that for a jam at any location it could be a dozen different possible causes. Your best bet would be a service tech.
If it was a service code we might be able to point you in the right direction. A paper jam is a slippery thing. It could be anything. Honestly.

I'd never seen a EP-2152 but up to my knowledge it may be a 15 copier/min machine.
If I'm correct, try to figure it out as follow:
If there is a paper jam, it should shows alternatively a "J "and then a "number" and a red dot indicates the location of where it jammed.
You can try to clean the paper take up roller and the roller the paper heading stop there.
If it cannot solved the problem, then the clutch behine the roller the paper heading stop may be defective or get dirty and need cleaned.

Chances are that $160 was for an hour of labor. With the age of the machine it probably either needs feed rollers or the actuator for the exit sensor is broken. Either way you'll need a massive stroke of luck to find parts for it. You're best bet is to call a KonicaMinolta dealer in your area. If you're lucky (again) the dealer will still have techs who know about the model and are willing to work on something that old.
In my opinion, it's not worth the time or the money to have someone look at it. You're better off taking that money and buying a throw away from Staples or Office Max.

Hi all
LAst week we went to the office depot store closest to where we keep this old copier from them toner is cheap 4 tubes 39.99 not bad also while there we bought some of those cleaner sheets for the paper glide path (thin cloth like material with alcohol designed for laser printers and copiers) we passed 2 of these through and yes they went all the way (1st thing that has since we got it) but now it looks like the the drum is bad the whole thing is an easy to swap unit when I pulled it out to look at it I noticed it was black (aren't most drums green?) and had silver stripe along one side (yes I know not to expose the drum to light however I I also know that these units are shipped in sealed black bags and you have to remove them from the bags before installing them this in mind they show its ok for a moment to set it down covering the exposed drum with paper)so my final ??? on this matter is will it be cheaper to buy a new drum unit or copier?
