Ricoh MP 2500 replaced Print/scan controller

[StephenB]

Had a customer get hit by a surge, dead print controller. Hytec no longer supports this, NWRS tried their best but too damaged. I found a "recycled print controller. Swapped the NV RAM from the original board. Everything functions except I cannot enter scan destinations, The web interface on the opening page shows the available functions, copy, fax, print and scan. However there is not a scan area in the configuration and the address book does not show a scan destination. I can manually enter an email address and it does send.
I performed a memory clear all, still no help. Also I cannot "browse" their network to manually search for a scan to folder. Almost acts like I don't have permission to access the scan functions.....???

Sounds like you are missing the HDD ??

Most likely the surge fried the HDD.

This is a MP 2500, (not MPC ) There is not a HDD on this system. I can enter fax destinations, just not scan destinations ( folder or email )

If the MP 2500 has a print/scan sd card make sure its in the correct slot. Have you initialized the address book? 5-846-050

Had the exact symptoms described by the poster, with a previous generation of this machine. Customer had picked up the machine (somewhere), and couldn't get the scanner to function. SD card was in wrong slot.

thank you

I think you might want to reconsider your position.
From the manual:
SD Card.pdf
I believe the address book card is redundant once the print/scan card has been installed
(please correct me if I'm wrong)

Wow, and I was "so careful" when changing out cards from board to board...sometimes just get "tunnel vision" Thanks for the help.
