    MP C2003-C6003 Mandatory Updtate



    Ricoh is pushing out a mandatory update for all Metis models. They have sent letters out to most customers regarding the issue which is a result of the skew motor sticking on. There is a small risk of fire involved due to the driver IC on the IO board as a result. There is a small mylar sheet and adhesive backed sheet that is applied to the backside of the IO board. Firmware levels should also be brought to their highest levels, but especially the engine firmware to apply a change to allow the machine to force the skew motor off. Please note that if a machine has received custom firmware, it is not to have the firmware upgraded. Ensure that engine firmware is the latest version and matches the machine configuration. Models configured with the model 3090 SPDF receive 1.39:08, etc.

    P/N for mandatory retrofit: D1499905

    Units Affected:

    MP C2503G D17718 E214GC00040 12/22/14

    How to ascertain manufacture date: Example E15-4-M-4-2 1513E15 = Model / 4 = Year / M = Factory / 4 = Month 1 through 9 is Jan thru Sept, ABC represents Oct, Nov andDec / 2 Assembly Line / 1513 = production monthly sequence

    If you have access to the TSRB, this procedure is outlined in the tech bulletin labeled "Product Safety Information" Ricoh should have techs in the field already making the mandatory changes to the machines but I figured this information may be useful to at least a handful of people.

    A model that was introduced 4 years ago and has been replaced by newer models is too new?

    Did my first one today. Not too bad, the most annoying part still seems to be waiting for package firmware to finish updating...
