Ricoh MP C6502 / 8002

[Timmytronic]

Hi, I feel a little annoyed with myself asking this. I am and been a Ricoh engineer for 24 years now and have machines up to MP C5502. I have just had a MP C8002 in and for the life of me can't get into the SP mode. It seems the same panel as the MP C5502's but I have pressed the Yellow Cancel and 107 then tried the normal Cancel at the bottom, held for 5,10, 15 seconds and all at the right speed. Also press the orange button at the bottom instead after the 107 but that says Cancel printing etc. So I am a bit lost.

Can anyone help

Sorry for asking the basics. Like a mechanic on a car and no being able to get the bonnet open :-)

Thank you loads, got into it and all familiar as normal, better actually they have grouped some sp's together which is a good idea.

Really appreciate it.

The japanese got annoyed one day having nothing to do and produced a way to get some more calls to the support center as they know nobody reads their crappy manual anymore. To get our life more tough they have invented even a more complicated 3D parts catalog just for fun.

I was once told it was to stop salesman selling other brands from messing with the SP settings, to make the machines look like they are faulty or poor quality. I have not seen this, so it is speculation.

The new service code isn't mentioned in most new manuals.

You're on to something there

The 3D manuals are shit, perhaps it will work with the correct 3D glasses?

Also they name the parts different in the service manual, than the parts catalog... How difficult can it be...

The salesmen doesn't have enough brain capacity to pull a prank like this
