Thank you for your reply.
all the code said was c06 but i finally got he machine to work. i unplugged the side tray and unplugged the lid of the copier. and the machine loaded up and started copying. I'm not how to get the multiple tray to work or the lid. When i plug the Lid into place the machine still loads as usual, But the lid does not power up or work. When i Plug In the side tray Every freezes and i get the c06 code plus the red wrench.

please advise me if u have any further details.

Are you sure the code is C06...sounds like it is more likely to be C0b!! Is the "side tray" at the left hand side of the machine....where the copy exits?

Also the display normally shows another two digits to give further details of the fault....C0b00?

nice call minimerlin.. I couldn't get past the c6 because usually a c6 is scanner related and hard for a customer to reset. plus when he shuts the side tray (sorter?) it will go into that code. with it open and unplugged it will work.

Thanks Brent,
I have had numerous C0b type codes reported as C06 as it is easy for the user to missread. Usually sorter has a stapler or tray shift fault.

Sorry

Sorry Guys, i have misread the sign. It is actually C0b. When The copier seems to work fine without the trays being plugged in. When i plug in the Lid, the machine still works but the lid feader is not accessable. when i plug in the the side tray then i get the C0b Sign and teh red wrench. This causes the machine to freeze and im unable to doa anything.

Hello,

First of all I would like to say that I am not a qualified technician and don't have any formal training on using the Minolta 2030 machine that we bought about 3 weeks ago. I hope you will forgive me to registering, as I understand this site for technicians mostly.

I am a employee of a small hospital in northern Pakistan and have been given the responsibility of running the copier and of training other people to use it.

In Pakistan we can buy second machine that come from America with usually around 50-60 thousand copies on them.
The second dealer showed me how to run the machine for basic copying which I have grasped. But I would like to have a manual or user guide just in case things go wrong etc.
Would any of you know where I can find a user manual for the Minolta 2030?

I hope this is the right place to ask such a question.

Sincerely,

Faraz Laldin

Hey Faraz, I found a link to the machines service manual (which may come in handy to you at times)

Thanks

Thank you, I was able to down the manual.
It was useful in learning how to using the more complex function of this copier.

But today I am back to ask for help again. Since we got the machine about 1.5 months ago has run quite smooth except for the rare paper jam. But today it has given the SPANNER symbol and also is given the error code C05
and then it does something very strange the ON/OFF switch turns off by itself. Is that a inbuilt function? Is it supposed to go off itself due to the kind of error it is?

Do you think it is possible for a electrician and a general mr. fix it to get this working or should I call the technicians? Any suggestions?

[minimerlin]

You have a problem with the fuser..the heater may not be working, or getting too hot! The shut off is normal and is a safety function. You could take the top off the fuser..two screws, and clean the thermistor that runs on the top fuser roller.it gets dirty and then the machine detects a fault and shuts down. Also before doing this check to see if you can see the fuser lamp coming on, it is easy to see the glow from it at the left hand end of the machine. If this does not work..call a tech as you can cause a bigger problem if you damage the machine.

[farazharoon]

Thanks

Thanks. Will look into this. See what I can see but it looks quite complicated.
Is the fuser the purple drum?
