ImageRunner 7095 and imagePASS-S2 connection

[Guest]

Hello,
My company inherited an imageRunner 7095 with an imagePASS-S2. I am attempting to get this thing working. It seems we are missing the cable which connects the two and I cannot find exactly what it is anywhere. Below is an image of the back from the manual. #4 is the connecting I need to use correct? I thought I could do it via #3 but doesn't seem to be the case. What kind of cable is this exactly? Is it not a generic type cable i can get from anywhere? Any help is appreciated.

thanks
Ryan

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the cable that goes between the port (4) and the copier is quite proprietary.

You will also need to put a crossover between port (3) in the S2 and the copier.

Before you jump in and order a cable from your local Canon dealer, though, there needs to be a connector on the back side of the copier to plug into. That would be the interface cards that get installed along with the S2.

The crossover cable, interface cable, and interface cards are all considered to be part of the S2. Somewhere along the line, it would appear that they got separated.

You may be best off to call a local authorized Canon dealer to get you the right part(s) and get you set up properly. It's also entirely possible that the firmware in the copier will need to be updated to work properly with the S2, and its a near foregone conclusion that there are patches available for the S2 which will allow it to run better than it would without them.

It will cost you way less in the long run, plus you'll know that it has been done right.

KenB has the best advice on this, I just consulted all that is available to me, and I cannot find any way to find a part number for your missing cable...

Thanks Ken. There is a corresponding connection on the back of the copier. It seems the cable was just misplaced when it was moved from where it was to our office. And it was being used fully where it was. Do you know what the cable is officially called? I thought i'd just be able to find it online and get one but that doesn't seem to be the case. thanks

Didn't see your post this before my last post. Thanks for looking, seems crazy finding a cable is so hard.

So I asked again the person who actually brought the printer to us and this time he came up with the cable. So all good there. Now when I try to run the set up it's asking for a password which of course I don't have. Any way to reset the imagepass to it's factory defaults?

[KenB]

The Canon part number for the "UIB cable" is FE1-6081-000.

The default password is "Fiery.1" - no quotes, and case sensitive.

If the password has been changed, it will either require a reload of the system software, or some fancy tap dancing (downloading a file which would print the password - doesn't always work).

for Printer>
1) Go into Service Mode by hitting [Additional Functions-2 and 8-Additional Functions]
2) Select [COPIER]
3) Select [FUNCTION] (One of the buttons across the top of the LCD)
4) Select [CLEAR]
5) Scroll to screen two of the LCD using the Right arrow key.
6) Select [PWD-CLR]
7) Hit [OK]
8) Hit the RESET button twice in order to return to the Main LCD Screen. This will turn off the Department ID Management feature on the machine (without deleting the configured Department IDs and Passwords) and will clear out (delete) the System Manager ID and Password.


for S2 setup it is > Fiery.1

'Initialize All Data/Settings' Option on the Canon Devices Question :
What is the 'Initialize All Data/Settings' option for? What does it do?

Answer :
WARNING: DATA WILL BE ERASED. Before using the 'Initialize All Data/Settings' feature, make sure that the data you are erasing is completely unnecessary or is backed up. Canon will not be liable for any damages resulting from the loss of data.

Note: This procedure can take some time (up to 30 minutes).

Recommendations:

- To prevent others user from accidentally erasing all of the data, it is recommended to register a System Manager ID and System Password so that only the System Manager can perform this procedure.

- If you have a Fiery controller connected, enter service mode, change the IMG-CONT to 0, and reboot the device before performing this procedure.

The 'Initialize All Data/Settings' feature will erase the following data that is stored in the machine:

- Data stored in inboxes
- Address Book data
- Scan settings registered for the Sending function
- Mode Memory settings registered for the Copy or Mail Box function
- MEAP applications and Licenses
- Data saved from MEAP applications
- The password for MEAP SMS login services reverts back to the default
- Registered SDL (Simple Device Login) user authentication information
- User authentication information registered in the local device authentication system of SSO (Single Sign-on)
- Unsent documents (Reserved documents and documents set with the Delayed Send Mode)
- Job History
- Additional Function settings
- Image forms registered for the Form Composition mode
- Registered forwarding settings
- Key pair and server Certificate settings registered in Certificate Settings in TCP/IP Settings

It is not normally necessary to use this feature, but it is useful for erasing personal or confidential information when returning or disposing of the machine.

To use this feature:
1. Press Additional Functions.
2. Choose System Settings.
3. Scroll down and look for 'Initialize All Data/Settings'.
4. Hit Yes.

If you can get into setup on the Fiery, there is a menu item under setup to restore to factory defaults.

That will restore all network and print settings back to default values.

Keep in mind that only pertains to the Fiery, not the copier.

u don't have to restore settings on Fiery/ just log in with Firey.1/ hope someone didn't change it/ and put in your own settings

Yep that's what I did and it seemed to work good. I was able to set it up on our Windows server and print to it, and also access the imagepass via a browser.

Strange this is once I did that, a few PCs on the network started hanging every time they try to print or access their printers. They did NOT install the Canon printer on their PC though. No errors or anything, PC just hangs and grinds to a halt. But my PC is fine. Anyone ever experience anything like this?

Thanks for all the help

Thank God they did not change the imagepass password!

Only thing I can think of would be an IP conflict. Did you acquire the imagepass IP by using DHCP, or use a static address? If you set it up static, unhook the network cable from the imagepass and try to ping the imagepass IP. If you get an answer, someone else is sitting on that IP.

Good call, there. MrFixit!

Sounds like the most likely culprit. Unfortunately, the imagePASS isn't polite enough to tell you when its IP address is duplicated elsewhere (a long standing request we've had for a long time, BTW...).

A duplicate IP address can cause anything, up to and including hallucinations.

If there aren't any duplicate IP's another thing to check is the auto-install feature. Maybe it's acting up on your computer and causing issues on the others. Here are instructions how to disable it.
