    Post Bizhub C224 (Only black and white printing is possible)

    Hi.

    Bought a used machine. The machine says "only black and white printing is possible".

    Have tried to update firmware but without success.

    Any ideas are welcome


    // Thanks

    This is because your colour drums have exceed life.

    When first entering service mode press stop zero then clear. There is a dc/dev or image unit/ something life button hit that then no stop. Also go into system 2 then the software switch setting for switch 55 has to read 00001100 which displays 0C and switch 51 to 1111000 which reads as F0.

    Check and make sure user authentication is turned off. If former owner had authentication in use and just deleted names and left authentication enabled, color copies won't be an option.

    Pretty sure even with no stop turned on it still eventually forces you to replace drums
