    Dalva,

    I have Bizhub C552, C652, C452s in the office here sitting right next to each other. They send service calls in PDF form out to our technicians daily. I have just sent an e-mail from each of them. They are all configured properly for daylight savings. My results are as expected, same times throughout.

    Have you attempted any of the suggested fixes? I think you are making this a little harder than it is.

    Anyone else having a similar issue I believe would have commented already - people are pretty quick around here.

    I think you misread my original posting. The headers do NOT change when I toggle the DST setting. This gives more credibility to the conclusion the DST setting is not being utilized by the Konica.

    The following shows I have done everything suggested plus more and the facts continue to point to the Konic not recognizing the DST setting. Any more suggestions?

    From within Admin mode:
    Cleared and set date and time using NTP setting
    Set time zone to -8 (California location)

    With DST turned ON:
    Scanned email received time is correct
    Scanned email sent time is 1 hour later.

    With DST turned OFF:
    Scanned email sent and received times are correct.
    Time on Konica panel is behind 1 hour.
    Konica log times are behind 1 hour.
    Time on Fax sent from Konica is behind 1 hour.
    If time is manually set correctly then login authentication using our domain server fails.

    Our vendor Konica technician came by and:
    Updated to the latest firmware (see listing below)
    Set the internal tech mode time correctly
    Problem was still there.

    Using Telnet on port 25 I connected from my PC to our email server and sent an email.
    The times sent and received were correct.
    With the Konica out of the loop, this appears to confirm our email server is not the source of the problem.
    The problem shows up when the Konica is in the loop.

    If we turn off DST, change time zone from -8 to -7 and reset the time to be correct then it appears to work. Not acceptable because it means we would have to reset 12 copiers twice a year.

    Below is a header from a Xerox copier we have which works as expected.
    Note these two lines taken from the header.
    ====>Fri, 30 Jul 201010:15:51 -0700
    This line is shows the received time which is correct and translated to DST time zone (-0700)

    ====> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 30 Jul 2010 17:15:51.0247 (UTC) FILETIME=[DC352DF0:01CB300A]
    This line shows the sent time which is also correct and translated to DST time zone (17:15:51 UTC = -7 DST in California).

    I may have misread it - in the headers you posted the times differences are 0 hours and 1 hour between the two different headers.

    Either way, have you tried clearing and re-setting the time/date/DST settings?

    Do you have another machine that is working properly?

    EDIT: Posted this before your last post came up. reviewing it now. Thanks for all the info, I'll see if I can help you out.

    That looks to be version 90 firmware which is 4 months old. There is a new firmware that addresses nearly 170 bugs and fixes that was released in mid-june, Version B4. You might call your tech and ask them to update their firmware on-hand to the latest version...

    I read through the release notes and I do not see a specific time or DST issue mentioned in the update, however, sometimes they release "Special Firmware" which is only advised if you are having a certain problem that it addresses.

    Here is one that I have found:

    Special Firmware Version GJ4-59 -
    ...
    27) Machine is set up following instructions manual, date and time settings become wrong
    ...

    It is very vague but it is worth a shot.


    Here are some knowledge base articles that are not specific to your model but are worth a try:

    Description:
    The date stamp on scanned E-mail is incorrect and does not change if the time is changed.
    Solution:
    CAUSE: The machine firmware has been corrupted.

    SOLUTION: Re-flash the machine firmware.

    Description:
    The time is 'off' when scanning to E-mail with the standard controller

    CAUSE: The time zone is incorrectly set on the copier.

    SOLUTION: In the Admin mode, select Admin Set and select screen 3 of 4. Select the Date and Time Setting button and change the Time Zone to the correct setting.



    Obviously you have attempted the second already!

    Still searching for you.

    Do you happen to have another working machine? Or are all of the konicas exhibiting this behavior?

    Just tested 9 of our Konicas and they all have the same incorrect results. 1 C360, 2 C552 and 6 C452. Our tech just showed up for a different call. I'll ask to have the latest firmware installed.

    What firmware do you have on your machines that do not show this problem?

    These aren't customer machines, as I said they are all demos and machines that we use ourselves, so they are sadly neglected! They are all running the various base firmware that they were shipped out with.

    We have near 120 of a mix of C220/C280/C360 series, C452/C552/C652 series machines in a single location not exhibiting this behavior.. I was curious and tested several of them. They were all updated to the latest firmware in April when they went out to the customer locations.

    The fact that it is happening on EVERY machine is very suggestive of a problem elsewhere don't you think? It would be very difficult to pinpoint it to anything at this point but it sounds suspicious.

    Have you attempted to use a different e-mail server to see if the problem persists? Take a few minutes and set up a G-mail account for it. Are you familiar with setting the machine up to scan this way? I can certainly walk you through it if not. I can set this up from the panel in less than a minute or so, it's fairly simple!

    If we can narrow it down to happening on every server, happening when you send it to any address, etc, we can isolate the problem more quickly. Let's get this solved!

    Using an outside email server is not an easy task to setup since we are behind a firewall.

    We just had the firmware changed to version B4 and problem is still there.

    The fact the Xerox we tested today and found to work would imply the emai server is not the problem. If you compare the headers from an email sent by the Xerox with a header sent by the Konica the difference is in black and white.

    It is possible the header is incorrect due to a setting we set. The same settings were used on all the Konicas which would account for all to show the problem. But how difficult is it to make the settings. Configure time server to use, turn on DST, set time zone to -8 and set date / time from time server. That's it.

    We are also using network authentication.

    Next week, we'll take it up with our local vendor.

    I agree with aestehetics1. If it were only one machine out of a bunch, I would say the problem is with that one machine.

    Since it is happening with all of them, the laws of averages would dictate the problem is elsewhere, more likely the mail server is out, or something associated with the relay to that server.

    You could set up an internal exchange server on one of your windows boxes. Use a demo program for the short term test.

    What does it mean when the Xerox works but the Konica does not and they both use the same email server?

    If there was a software bug, wouldn't that show up on all our Konicas?

    What does it mean when I telnet to our email server and send a message that has the correct times?

    Our email boxes reside on our current exchange server. No matter how many other servers we setup the mail must travel through the current excange server in order to reach our mailboxes. Would that still be a good test?
