Never fooled with the gears but we've always left the imagesetter on and its been on for 8 years! It is your film processor that is dirty and should be cleaned. I'm sure you've got muck in the water tank and rollers. Dump the tank and clean her up and ad a touch of bleach to the water tank. Keep some old film handy to run through the processor in the morning to clean the rollers off. If you smell a very strong ammonia smell then you have a bad mix of chemistry. If the film comes out light or you can see through the black part of the film, you have weak chemistry, you'll need to pump it up. If that doesn't work then the fan and pumps are going bad.
