Minolta RP603Z microfilm reader/printer help

Does it work or not when it errors out?

I'm not familiar with the machine, but have had the same problem with other machines (different error code number but the same error). The most common cause if it is laser based would be the corona wire shorting or arcing against metal. Certain models of Toshiba copiers have this problem often.

Thanks for that, I'll check it and make sure there isn't some contamination etc in that area.

-- Hi Homer,

Error stops the machine instantly when it appears. Paper is part way through when this happens but the error code is not paper related. On this machine all error code stop the machine instantly.

The problem sounds exactly like what happens to Toshiba copiers. They also stop working with the paper part way through. A quick fix is to either shorten the corona wire or shorten tne tensioner spring. The error code on them is C970
