Ricoh 3713 service mode troubles

[Maranatha]

I am also known as DHK, and asked yesterday for a way to get into the service mode on a Ricoh 3713.

I received a kind response from "Fridgemagnet" that walked me through the sequence (as shown in my Intravia's). However, for some reason, as soon as I let go of the final "Clear/Stop" and hit "Print", it just goes out of service mode and gives me a copy. I even tried holding down "Clear/Stop" and hitting "Print", but with the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

I get the "dot" after pushing "71" and then "Clear/Stop" -- but after my next "Clear/Stop" the "dot" goes away. Never do see the blinking "5".

Thanks again.

Sorry about that Maranatha
This the page from the manual.

That confirms what is supposed to work, but what do you do if that sequence doesn't get you into the service mode -- like it should?

Thanks

from what i remember with these machines you take the back off. on the main board u put dip switch 101-1 on and then off and then enter 97 and press the aps key. and then turn the machine off then on. but saying that i havent seen one of these machines for about 2 years

Turn ON dip SW101-2.

Sw 101-2 gets you into service mode immediately. Simulation 97 is a reset for fuser codes. Since you have not specified what you're trying to do, a fuser reset may not be pertinent.

Troubles resolved. Thanks a lot, guys.
