Resurrecting an old machine

[adi_wazzup]

I am trying to get an old Canon Ir 6000i to work. The copier wasn't used for a long time ( a few years) and was abandoned in a garage. Pieces of it are missing and it is in a really bad condition. I have cleaned it and it seems that it's mechanics are fine. The problem is I can't find a code for the reader unit cable and I can't do anything until I find one because of the E00732-0001 error. Does enyone know if i can use the copier without the reader unit as a simple printer until I can find a cable? And if so how can I disable the reader? Also I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how can I find a reader unit cable.

No not on this model you can't disable the scanner. On newer canon's you can. You will need to find that missing cable or order a new one.

E732 codes are common on Canon Units that have been 'stored' for some time - without going to any real expense, remove and clean ALL the PCB contacts including RAM in the Controller Box - I use a cloth dampened with RP7 to clean contacts then buff with a dry one - 100% sucess for me .

He's lost the reader unit cable, all the cleaning won't fix the error without the cable!

well he just need's to find and assemble the cable and the good cleanup wont hurt
