    Thumbs down Bizhub C-203, Controller issues...

    Customer is able to print for hours at a time, then the machine locks up and won't print anything until it's rebooted... strange.

    This customer is also having trouble setting up the scanning function, especially scan-to-email. I was there with the IT guy and it seemed to be a little more troublesome than most to get connected.

    Any ideas?

    What is the firmware level of the machine?

    Be sure to update it with the latest baseline as a minimum.

    You could try to initialize the copier and reset it back to factory level and simply start over as well.

    please don't update firmware that does not fix this problem and i have tried it many times wo=ithout updating firmware. thank you
    many things could go wrong.1) looks like your print job is queued on this machine. delaying printing. 2)sometime if account track setting have been applied, un registeredaccount name or password have been entered.
    3)also you memory may not be suficient, you can perform test print and see if it prints quickly.4) it could also be connection issue, not for sure but I would check that too.I usally unplug the network cable check it out and resetpower off/on then try again. let me know if these things help. good luck

    We update firmware pretty regularly. If not the latest, then usually just pushing the same level at the machine to correct errant behavior. This is standard practice when dealing with problems with machines that were otherwise working fine previously.

    Not to mention there is an edict from KM Japan to update ALL firmware on ALL machines to deal with IU enhancement program.

    When ya call into Konica tech support the first thing they usually ask you is "did you install the lastest firmware?"

    So one of the first things I always do before calling is flash it up. Usually fixes it for me.

    Firmware is very important. I too have fixed many problems by upgrading/reflashing firmware. Why are some people so afraid of FW? They put out updated FW to correct many issues. So, when it comes to FW, follow Nike's slogan and "Just do it"

    ok, I agree. with you not always FW is solution, why you want update when firmware is already up to date and working. you can follow nike's slogan and just do it. good luck

    I agree with you. just do it if it needs the firmware . I have seen some techs flash the machine for paper jams which it turn out to be paper feed roller was bad
