    Woah brilliant idea how does it regulate though like do you leave it on permanently and how is it powered?

    Won't it just cook the machine 24/7?

        I would suppose that depends on how much wattage it uses. A 40watt light bulb and a metal cabinet with a snug fitting door makes a nice dry-storage cabinet for your paper.

        I'd imagine that the lowest rated 40C, mounted to a metal frame member in the bottom of the machine would be quite adequate (doesn't show resistance or wattage specs).
        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.

            The tray heater for the Konica Minolta machines have only 2 wires going to it.
            That comes from an step down transformer at around supplying from 20 to 24V AC.
            Guess its got regulation and protection included in the element somewhere.
            Or its just a low wattage.

            Instead of buying just strip out of B600 or any other scrap machine that includes a tray heater.
            Strip out the element pad and the transformer.

            Used those for on a incubator before. Also used them one winter to heat up my feet.

            But doubt the source of moisture here is from the paper.
