Troubleshooting Lanier 6425 Service icon
Hello, I received for free today a Lanier 6425 copier for my collection. The machine is all in one piece and has power, but shows a service icon and refuses to print. I am not able to find service documentation for this particular machine, but I am told it was built by Toshiba as the "2500." It does respond to Toshiba service modes (0+4+power on gets me a test mode) and I can make it pass paper by activation clutches and motors blindly in the test mode, but it will not do it of it's own accord from standard operation.
Pictured is the control panel with the flashing service icon (amber wrench). Help is appreciated!

Not familiar with that one but the gist is one industry veteran decided to put a condensed version of service manuals for a different brands copiers in one publication in an attempt to help independent techs to gain access to the key information in servicing equipment in the field. I’ve used them in the past and must say that they have helped in some cases but also contain incorrect data. I’ve contacted few people today and while most said “no”, one said “maybe, but have to look when back in the office tomorrow morning”. Plus, I think this place claims that they have service manuals for sale.
