Kyocera FS-1118MFP Admin password reset procedure

[davidconnors]

Hi All,

I have looked high and low but I cannot find the admin password reset procedure for an FS-1118MFP. I have found some instructions re changing certain DIP switches on other Kyocera printers but can find no such switches on this one (the Network interface is built in anyway).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try this command

!R! SIOP0,'RESET:0'; EXIT;
or

!R! SIOP0,"RESET:0"; EXIT;

I can't remember about it is " og ' you can try.

See page 26:

The administrator has forgotten the Admin password.

Hi Rune,

I saw a few examples like this - but all of them mentioned pasting that command into some page on the command centre site. I am completely locked out of the command centre site and can only view the status of the printer.

Can I just send it a print job from Windows with that in it? That seems a bit insecure.

David.

You can use the newest version of KM-Net Viewer. From KM-Net Viewer search the network for your printer, select the Broadcast function, radio button next to TEXT, then enter the command as Rune gave it to you (or copy/paste if you like), then SEND. The PreScribe command is sent out to the printer, and executed.

You can use the IC Link utility. Type the command as Rune gave it to you into a Notepad or Textpad document, and Save. From IC Link select Tools, Printer Tools, double-click Send a File, browse to your new file, Open, checkmark next to Send a File, Send to Printer, Select the appropriate driver, then Send Now.

You can use the command prompt. Make sure that the printer is shared. Like above type the command as Rune gave it to you into a Notepad or Textpad document, and Save As to the root directory (i.e.: C:\Documents and Settings\John Smith> appears in your command prompt, then place the file in the "John Smith" folder). Open up a command prompt.
This is the format of your command:
copy filename \\fullcomputernamelessdomain\printersharename

So if your file name is: file.txt
full computer name less domain is: Johns Computer
printer share name is: KyoceraFS1118
your command would be:
copy file.txt \\Johns Computer\KyoceraFS1118

then Enter.

I found this last one a little daunting at first, but as long as you get the command typed exactly character-for-character correctly, it works every time. And it requires no additional utilities. (though they appear like web links above, they are not. It's just the combination of characters and symbols used.)

The method Rune suggests requres access to Command Center, which you don't have. If you could access Command Center you would go to the Printer tab, Printable Data, then browse to the prepared file with the command, then Print.

This works really cool once you get the hang of it. Instead of searching all over for printer settings a simple FRPO command will change the setting that you want, without knowing where to find it, and the commands are mostly universal accross the product line (there are exceptions, of course.)

Have fun.

You are both wonderful people - thank you kindly. The password reset procedure worked perfectly.
