how many konica, konica/minolta techs on board?

[Wild Bill]

just trying to get a head count. i don't see very many of you asking questions about the konica konica/minolta equipment. do our copiers run that much better than the rest?? ha ha just a joke. our sh!t breaks too....

I work on everything except Konica Minolta. Yes they break too. I guess that means we have job security!

I left Konica (Factory Service) before the merge and my old friends can't believe the people running the show now. I continued to repair for small accounts up till today.
I've repaird thousands of different types of electronic devices over the years and am presently loading software into ATM's, setting them up, and testing them before nationwide delivery. (Fun job!)

I work on Konica Minolta and Kyocera, we only sell the Konica Minolta colour kit which is very good except the C500 which is the biggest pile of S**T.

I'm a Konica Minolta tech. Joined the premerger Minolta side in 2000. Worked on Savin, Mitas and Ricohs before that.

Konicaminolta, Kyroceraand mita, KIP

I'm Konicaminolta tech but my favorite box is the 3035 kyroceramita family great box. Konica minolta digital boxes could be award winning pain in the ass pieces of junk, color and BW. Except legacy Minolta EP boxes also solid.

Trained on...

Konica minolta - 12 years- Awesome product, Love it, great support that outshadows= Panasonic - 8 years, tech suport must get a kickback for how many main control boards they tell you to replace during troubleshooting as they read out of thier manuals, which is the same as Ricoh- 6 years - and their tech support and DSM for this area are a Joke. Looking at taking on Muratec or Samsung as second line and so far Samsung's requirement for picking up warranty service for our terittory would change our "business" model and their Rep doesn't know how to return phone calls makes the Muratec line look shiny by comparison.

HELP!! PLEASE!!

ok so what i have is a second hand cf2002 with fiery (no idea what kind or brand), I have a router I am trying to use to set up the copier to my coputer. I have the main internet connected to the router then the cord from the copmuter to the router and another cord from the copier to the router. sorry for being so long winded but i haven't done this before I have looked on the machine and got what I thinkis it's IP address?? then went to "add a printer" to my system and followed all the directions. I know i need the printer driver and I think I got it off the minolta website, but I'm honestly not sure if its the right one anyways, when i do all the steps and try to print the test page nothing happens any ideas where i am going wrong?? thanks in advance for any help!!!

The IP sceme of your PC and the copier need to be similar ie 192.169.1.xxx the last set of digits can not be the same as that will cause an IP conflict. You might be better off posting this question under the konica minolta section to get specific help on the issue you are having.

That's right; I'm also speechless...

But still I can answer to the topic; I work for an Canon dealer. And I don't know if I even want to work elsewhere. There's enough challenges in these machines (usually in a good way, fortunately).

Oh, I almost forgot: I've once touched a konica 8020 (checked it's counter readings and consumable meters). A friend of mine bought it for some of his friend. I guess it has worked quite well cause he hasn't called me for help!

I had one truble and it was a canon for last 10 years. Now I got my self an X2 trubles, Canon and Minoltas, O boy. Konicaminolta color machines are great.Period. Not that i can say the same for the B/W versions...lots of problems whit electronic that are so dumb that u actualy cant repir it without good electrician! Canons do have similar problems but not so often nor bullet prof on other problems . To conclude : same s**t but another package for all brends. Sometimes u will pull your hair and sometimes u will be a king of a world coz u are service tech.
