We have a QMS 1200 here at CMU.  Ours doesn't get very heavy use,
but it seems to jam a lot.  It's probably widely known that it's
an oem'd xerox 2700 (or at least that's what I'm told).  One of the
levers inside that allows you to clear the jams really likes to
get wedged on the wrong side of a pin when you close it.  We've had a lot
of problems with that.

The paper cassettes don't hold much at all, but it does seem to be able to
pull paper from both of them by itself.

Once, we had paper stuck in it so bad that the paper got massively charred.

I haven't personally used the machine that much, but I've cleared a lot
of paper jams from it.

I guess I should also say that ours started out as a straight qms, but
from time to time the front of the controller box has switched back and
forth between QMS and Talaris.  Our people like to experiment.  Under either
configuration, the problems were the same.
