Bizhub Pro c6500

I have a Customer that has 1 of these and needs it Evaluated to see if its worth repairing or if its time to replace. I do not regularly repair them and need some info on how to get into service mode and if there is a way to determine what the yield on the high mortality parts might be.


Thanks in advance for any help.

Parts availability will be an issue. Obsolete. Better not to touch it if you can. =^..^=

I agree,dont involve if you can.
I have 3 of similar machines (C5501) in working state and still dont have problems with parts,i use DU-104 drum units and lots of parts fits from C6000 for example.
I am sad because this machine is old and obsolete but they were made to long last and durable and newer machines C1060,C2060,C3070... are very fragile and gentle in my opinion.

Too old. Was a very good machine back in the day. Parts are getting very difficult to come by.

I have no intention on working on it or putting under maint. I just want to know how to access the Service Mode and get info on parts LifeHoosierdaddy


Thanks Hoosierdaddy

I am just looking for parts life. Is there a way to access that info in Service Mode?

Thanks Hoosierdaddy

To see basic parts life (drum,developer,charge units...) just press "utility/counter" button and "details" i think,and you see and can print list with counters.
For detail parts counter press "utility/counter"-stop00stop01-in service mode go to "Counter/Data" -"Parts Counter" "Count of special parts" and you have several pages with parts counters.
But dont believe 100% in that numbers because somebody may have clear them without replacing parts.
Visual check and work test is better way to see in what condition is machine and what should be replaced.
