Hi guys,
I've recently been saddled with the responsibilities of trying to keep my company's copiers up and running, despite the fact that I don’t' have any experience. It seems like these forums have a really active user base, so hopefully I can get enough help to keep them operational. My first question has to do with the Imaging Units on a Bizhub C203.
One of the units (lets call it A) is displaying a message saying “Replace Imaging Unit Soon,” while the other (lets call it B) has gone beyond that message and says “Change Imaging Unit”. I’ve already gone into the service mode of A and changed the Stop Imaging Unit option to Suspend rather than normal (I didn’t have a no stop). With the hope that A won’t change its message to “Change Imaging Unit” and not let me make copies any more.
So that’s the back-story, now to my questions:
By changing the stop imaging unit option to Suspend have I set up A so it won’t become inoperable with a “Change Imaging Unit” message? Or have I only gotten rid of the annoying “replace Imaging Unit Soon” screen that you have to click “OK” on in order to process a job?
There are posts on the forums that talk about replacing a fuse to reset the counters for the transfer belt and the fuser. Instead of having to rechip each IU is there a fuse that can be used to reset/ignore all the counters on the image units? Is that what this fuse, KONICA MINOLTA (Compatible) Chips - Reset Fuses 0251.062MXL (http://www.copiersupplystore.com/ProductDetailOEM/KONICA%20MINOLTA/0251.062MXL.aspx) , would be for or is it mislabeled and I’m confusing things because I don’t have much experience.
Thanks in Advance!
