    What is DCON in canon machines?

    What is dcon in canon ir machines. What we try to do when we connect it to SST and try to do DCON?

      For the love of god ... don't touch it if that's the extent of your knowledge.
      Do not take screws out, do not connect anything to another thing. It can be detrimental to the machine. Please find someone who knows what the simplest things mean

          DC Controller

          A circuit board that controls the electrical and mechanical functions of the printer.
          This board is separate from the main board in most printers.

          Canon iR's are complex electro-mechanical devices driven by sophisticated circuitry.
          It is important that they be placed in a clean and stable electrical environment so that they operate as they were designed to function.
          Electrical disturbances can hamper the logic functions of the devices' microprocessors resulting in errors and lost productivity


          Only needs a single update when Canon provides information to do so/ otherwise > leave it.
          **Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**

            Thanks. Now i get it. So by this i wouldn't see any difference in the machine especially. Only if i look at it's version in service mode i can see and update. Rest of all is internal and not seen to the naked eye as any difference.

              You would download the firmware update from SIMS when canon releases it and install / register it in SST. Then update the machine accordingly. Usually done to iron out bugs in the software.
              On IR you can use SST or USB stick to update firmware but on the irADV you can also use the inbuilt updater from service mode.

              If you don't have access to the SIMS portal i'm sure someone here will be able to supply the latest firmware for you ... for a price ;-)
