if you search google for the plotter model and it will let you download a windows 7 driver cos i just looked and there is one, try this:http://www.driverplatform.com/file_a045.html

Go to this web site http://www.ricoh-support.com/ and see if there is what you want.
The equivalent model is Aficio 240W.
Go to the quick search and in the left tab scroll to the wide format an in the right tab select the model (240W).
See you!

Your Gestetner A045 is made by Ricoh. I will be a lot easier finding a Ricoh dealer than a Gestetner one. Here are the equivalent models for your machine. That is, any dealer listing that they service Ricoh, Savin, Lanier or Gestetner should be able to service it.
Your machine is the same as:
Ricoh Aficio 240W
Savin 2400WD
Lanier LW310

Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
reply any questions ok?!

I know it is a bit late but my company had the same problem just a few weeks ago and I figured out a work around that might help.First of all, we have a computer dedicated to our Savin 2400 that still runs XP. I found this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/33088/print-files-from-anywhere-via-any-device-with-dropbox/ which allows you to set up a dropbox and has a .vbs script that is set to auto print.From there it was easy, just go out and download a pdf image writer like this onehttp://www.pdfill.com/freewriter.html or any other document writer and set the default folder it saves to in the dropbox print queue. This will let you hit print, select your document writer (which you can rename to "ricoh") and print away!

YOU CAN GO TO WWW.PRESICIONROLLERS.COM AND TO GET DISCOUNT, YOU HAVE TO REGISTERED AS DEALER OR COPIER TECHNICAL MAN

If you are changing a paper roll, make sure you can advance the paper through the "throat" using the green knob and then manually trim it. If you are loading paper in the cassette tray, make sure you adjust the green sizing guides to match the paper dimension (8.5x11", 11x17), etc.

the pc you have installed the plot server should be login as local admin

Need aN INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR gESTETNER COPIER, AS I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE SIGNS AND SIGNALS MEAN WITHOUT THE MANUAL.

Hello Christopher Are you in the Philippines? I notice that your copier has changed from Ricoh to Gestetner? We are a North American website. This is a commercial office machine, and from my experience of them is that on the right side you will see on the inside, a list of instructions for where to check for obstructions. It seems you have already done this 8 times! Frustrating! Try this; Open the right side cover, unlatch all the bits at that side. Open the straight pass door on the left side. remove ALL the paper drawers. Get a powerful flashlight, look in all the spaces you have just created, especially at the edges of drawers and paper pathways. You are looking for a tiny piece of paper that one of your employees carelessly left behind after a paper jam.The one I found was right at the back of the straight pass door. When a sensor is covered, it creates that message. If that fails, Ricoh will have to come and attach their Laptop scan software to it which will tell which sensor is obstructed or has failed.

You can't. As I said you need the service engineer with the laptop. These Office Machines are NOT consumer serviceable. They hook up the laptop with the Ricoh software and it interrogates the computer, the mainboard and everything on it. The error message you get is from the brains inside it..Original question and answerhttps://www.fixya.com/support/t29802178-am_posting_again_stripped_off_gestetner..

SC code:E-21 Paper exit timing sensor remains off E-22 2nd feed timing sensor remains off E-23 Master eject position sensor remains E-24 Feed start timing sensor remains off point to check- Feed start timing sensor dirty sensor or failed, air line to get dust off my first step.

The ID sensors are dirty or transfer belt unit is damaged/dirty/faulty. The ID sensors are below the fusing unit facing down onto the belt. Usually best to remove the fuser unit and the belt unit to get to them with a short brush or unscrew to remove them but be very careful not to damage the transfer belt!
