[Misc] Canon iR2230 Network printer Firmware

[Guest]

Hello ...
I am new to the copiers world .. Recently i bought a canon iR2230 with network card interface and there is network settings in the setup menu .. So i could assign an ip address and netmask and gateway and i connected it to my PC with rj45 cable .. I was able to ping the printer address from the PC but i couldn't print or discover the copier and after some reading here on the forum i was able to access the service mode and i realized that my rom version was "8.33 C" and i checked that there ia no HDD and my Ram was 256 .. My question is how can i upgrade this copier to enable network printing and if anyone from the respectrd members can support me with the Printing Firmware and the instructions of the upgrading process i will be so grateful .

Thanks in advance

You have a basic model. You will need a print option kit to add printing.

This series of machines have been around for quite sometime, so for the sake of this particular thread, let me assume that you didn't buy it as brand new...sealed in its original factory pack, but as a used or reconditioned copier. If this be the case, it is reasonable to assume that the previous owner used it as a network printer, having installed all the necessary optional accessories required for that functionality. Later on, due to some reasons [probably data security] he or the tech removed the Hard disk, and replaced the 'N' Rom version (8.33N?), with a 8.33C Rom version, to disable the print function, but enable only the basic copy functions.
The optional HDD is originally 20GB, and comes with additional memory of 128MB, to make 256MB. But I can see the 256MB is installed, so you say, and the network card is in as well, and you can ping in both ways.
- You may need to reinstall the hard disk, format it and reinstall the firmware and the driver. Since you are new in canon, so you say, I suggest you call a canon trained guy to do it for you. This will save you a lot of unnecessary headache.
-But it is possible the machine is also just a ROM based model. In all cases, a trained canon tech will sort it out for you.
