I have a customer that had to buy an external print server to print bar codes to their bizhub C654. This little device sits between the mfp and the wall and they are losing communication and can't scan or print intermittently. Once they unplug the little print server everything starts going again, but they are convinced it is the bizhub and not the typehaus(?)bar code print server. Seems obvious to me its that device but its one of those situations where there isn't a nice bright sticker with an 1-800 number where a tech will show up within a few hours on the device but there sure is one on the mfp! Anyone every ran into a typehaus print server? Or better yet know why the a new bizhub doesn't have an option for bar code printing?

Re: Bar code print server
I've discussed Typehaus with the KM hotline. In the long run it's just an expensive way to have access to a font that can be loaded to the machines HDD. If it's blocking your communication, ... well, I'd connect my laptop via crossover cable. With server, doesn't connect. Without server, connects. Ta Daa! You're done.
Now, if the customer can come up with the .SFP file for the PCL barcode, there's no reason that you could not load the font to the machines HDD (.. assuming that the C654 is compatible with Font Manager). Forget the Typehaus.
What is it with fonts, all of a sudden? =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: Bar code print server
Awesome, I will try downloading the fonts. At the very least I can fall back on the "why didn't you buy the LK-106?". Thank you Blackcat and B0265!!The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein. -Fred HoyleComment
