how many konica, konica/minolta techs on board?

**DocuSystems** · 01-11-2007

Been working with a company for three months and loving it. I'm mainly the network/print driver/network fax guy. But I'm getting to fix some copier problems too. Konica Minolta Bizhub (7020, 7145, 200/250/350, C250, etc.) and Hewlett Packard Printers are mainly what I get to play with. We have customers with Apple and Window networks.

I'm sure to be here asking lots of questions. Maybe I can help with some connectivity problems, though...

Thanks to everyone responsible for this great site!!

i work on konicas all the time. i work for a dealer. but beens i believe you said you are a service manager maybe you can help me. i have a c350 that a customer brought into my territory. the other company that use to service it changed the tech rep mode password and tech support says to replace a board i know that there is a back door into the machines to reset the password but they wont tell me it do you have any clue

im sorry i don't have an answer. we have not run into that situation yet. i would call the cusotmer and ask them to call the old service guys and get it from them. like you said, i don't think changing a 1500 dollar board is the best solution...

ps, i'm not a service manager. just a tech.

I'm trained on the Minolta and Ricoh brands. I work on anything that comes my way which would include Samsung, HP, Lexmark, Sharp and ......

Been doing this for the past 5 years. Most challenging thing I can find that I'm remotely trained for since moving "back home". Previously, I worked as a systems engineer for 20 years in So. Cal. Just had to get away from there.

I work on everything except Konica Minolta. Yes they break too. I guess that means we have job security!

I left Konica (Factory Service) before the merge and my old friends can't believe the people running the show now. I continued to repair for small accounts up till today.
I've repaird thousands of different types of electronic devices over the years and am presently loading software into ATM's, setting them up, and testing them before nationwide delivery. (Fun job!)

I work on Konica Minolta and Kyocera, we only sell the Konica Minolta colour kit which is very good except the C500 which is the biggest pile of S**T.

I'm a Konica Minolta tech. Joined the premerger Minolta side in 2000. Worked on Savin, Mitas and Ricohs before that.

I'm Konicaminolta tech but my favorite box is the 3035 kyroceramita family great box. Konica minolta digital boxes could be award winning pain in the ass pieces of junk, color and BW. Except legacy Minolta EP boxes also solid.
