To enter level 3: Enter level 1 using standard service mode entry method then while on the first screen enter>(*Additional Functions) and 3. This will ttake you to level 3. It is the same to enter level 2 except instead of 3 you enter 2.
Copier Guy, I believe Level 3 is only used for factory setting purpose only.
From training, I remember a couple of settings in level 3 that field techs could manipulate to achieve some end. What they were, I forget and would have to dig into my pile of books to find out. But, as you say, most of the settings are for factory use and should not be toyed with lightly or at all.
Copier_Guy,let us know if you remember those settings to manipulate.
See, Now you owe me a Beer!
You made me go dig the book out, and I'm actually glad I did.
Level 3 Service mode on a iR C3200/3220 can be used for more detailed field testing and monitoring. There is a wealth of detailed checks you can do, like checking the individual temps on each fuser thermistor, or setting test print mode for single color output, dual color output....etc., you can turn document size detection on or off for the DADF and the list goes on.
Break out your technical reference guide and you'll see there are a lot of tools on these boxes we don't use on a regular basis, but I wish I had known on some of the problems I've encountered, because I would have isolated the problem faster.
Happy Hunting and don't forget to leave your location. When I'm in town, I want my Drink and now it's been upgraded to a Bottle of Remy Martin VSOP. My time is expensive!
On IRC3200,Level 1 is entered by *28*..Level 2 is *2* after entering Level 1...there is another level above this..when entered it will say FACTORY at top of display..you don't want to mess with this...when you do a ram clear or similar,where do you think that these default settings come from..guess where...entered in factory mode. I will post key sequence later
Now that's a new one to me. Level 9, Huh? I guess that would be Factory Settings Mode. That's like Area 51. We're not sure where it is but we know it's there!
Techs don't want to touch these settings either..they are the settings that are set at production for that single machine..so when you set everything to default(ram clear,mmi clear),these are the settings that the machine defaults to. It is for adjusting timing windows and stuff like that. Any user that even plays in level 1 or 2 service mode is asking for trouble...They will have to call a tech($)..users use, fixers fix. I've never altered them, just know where they are
