[Misc] Canon IR8500 RIP Problem

[Mike Barbee]

I am working on a IR600 that is stuck on wait in the printer screen. I have rebooted and run set up but no luck. I switched RIPs with another 600 and it worked fine so the problem is in the RIP. I believe I need to flash the RIP but have not done this before can anyone walk me through it?

Thanks,

Mike

I'm confused

The RIP will not communicate with the network.

What rip are you talking about???

Are you working on a IR8500 or IR600???

These are two different machines, which require two different print devices!

Do you even know what you have? Do you know anything about Canon MFP's.

I would like to help but your details are not matching up.

Maybe the problem is that I am calling the network board a RIP as it serves the same function by creating a raster image or bitmap that the copier can then print. So my problem is that my network board in my 600 is not communicating, this is indicated by the fact that after powering on and I push the "Print/IF" button I continue to get "wait..." message. As I said I pulled the network board out of another 600 I have and put it in and it communicates with the network fine. I am trying to trouble shoot the connection problem. I hope you can help, thank you for your patient feedback.

I apologize, I see your point that I stated in my title it was an 8500. I have three 8500's and usually work on them.

Sorry.
