So I managed to get an inherited 350 running with a local IP address that I can ping.
However, it has some other problems which I didn't know about.
1) When the machine starts it gets :
a) an F1-87 error code which is apparently the stapler rotation unit. From some previous info, apparently I can get a replacement pressure arm set, or tighten up the home position sensor or readjust the flag that triggers the sensor. Not sure which is the most cost effective fix; does anyone have an opinion?
b) the 350 has the DSPF scanner module which has a touchscreen that operates fine. I can generate some really basic reports from it like pages printed, scans, etc.
But the main unit has a main control panel as well which on system powerup briefly lights up all lights ( Ready - Green, Data - Green, Error - Red) and shows - 'Sharp --' with a spinning clock arm. This panel after just a few seconds of running blanks out and you can't do anything with it. You can't do anything with it even while it momentarily is running.
Now, when I look at the Web Admin tool, the Machine Information page tells me the Current Status = Ready to Print
When I look at the NIC System Status, it shows Status Print = No and
System Status = Printer down - service requested, but without any Fault information displayed.
Does this mean the F1-87 error is stopping the entire machine even though I can print out Settings Lists, etc.?
Any ideas? TIA
