F248

**autopilot** · 01-15-2018

Had this recently on Taskalfa 3051ci. Customer with about 10 Macs and 1 Windows PC. Machine has been working fine for past 2 years or so. Most of the issues seemed to come from Office for Mac applications but also a few pdfs causing the same error. The error would show as soon as print job was accepted whereas in the past when I have seen this the copier would attempt to process the job for a while before displaying the error.

I changed the PDL in the Mac driver to PCL and problem seems to be resolved. I have the printers pdl set to KPDL auto because of the windows PC so you might have to do this as well if it was changed to KPDL originally.

Hello,
a new firmware, for which machine?
At Triumph Adler we have a patch for this problem of F248.
But only on 2552ci and 3252ci in version 03.03.0010.
There is another firmware at home?
Thank you for your reply.

"F248" starts appearing when Mac OS 10.12 (Sierra) was upgraded to Mac OS 10.13 (High Sierra).

Thank you for the info.

Hi, you mentioned experimental firmware, can you expand on this please?

I have been on the Kyocera site for Taska;fa 6052ci and the current firmware is 2017/10/16 which can still show this error.

Any advice I would be grateful for please.

"Experimental" firmware just sounds so questionable! Just checked Kyocera's US Web site (KDACentral) and v3.00a for the TA6052ci was posted on 1/10/2018 to fix the F248 issue.

Any one else having success with this new firmware?

I have a customer with a 6052ci, latest mac driver installed, latest firmware installed, and they're still getting F248 (and now F566 after the firmware update) intermittently. Also, I created profiles for them after installing the updated driver. Even when using the profiles they claim sometimes the printer just ignores commands it was given (for example, it doesn't fold and staple).

Today, I'm going to reload firmware and attempt to switch the emulation to PCL and see if that helps. As i understand you lose some functions doing this. Hopefully it won't disable too many options as I've never attempted it.

It would be nice if MAC wouldn't fix things that aren't broken. Seems like every update requires some sort of patch or breaks some printing functions in certain programs.

How you getting on with this?
