Re: c224e counter reset

NVRam firmware if used incorectly will clear the main counters

This is very funny.
Once I have reloaded printer firmware on C353 wherein job used to reached machine and only data light blinks & nothing happens.
After loading firmware, meter showed 0.4 Billions, we all got zapped, but since it was a copy shop everybody accepted.
So essence is that everything is possible with software/firmware(Firmware - different kind of software only, we just gives much more importance, since it is related to our machines, but can be tampered very easily)
ENJOY

Re: c224e counter reset

It can be done....

Going to cost you a new SSD.
Read reset tool instructions carefully....

Why you want to i would not be sure.

a reset counter is a symptom of a very specific problem.

Re: c224e counter reset

What did you mean in step 15 with connecting to USB1?

bizhub c284 model is used for forced boot by USB1 because software resets automatically when a problem occurs.

Re: c224e counter reset

Wow, old thread rehashed...

I'd like to say that it IS possible to zero out the meters and doesn't require quiet as many steps as outlined previously. No, it doesn't require SSD replacement afterwards either; nothing needs to be replaced, and no issues with license either. You will need to enter serial numbers, and basically go through the entire machine setup and re-calibration afterwards, as well as setting switches 10 and 25 properly as previously stated.

I'm not going to disclose the procedure, but I can say for sure it CAN be done as I've seen it done. Very easy on the Color models, not so easy for the B&W models.

Good Luck!

Re: c224e counter reset

Maybe, however, you will write how to do it.

Re: c224e counter reset

I'm probably going to receive some gruff for this, but Copier Tech has already essentially told everyone how to do it without so many words. Look back in the thread for what he said. I'm not going to come right out and give you a step-by-step, so don't ask.

I'll offer up one last hint. Check Konica's Knowledge Base Article: KBA01400126, and also see the attached PDF. It tells you straight away in the pdf, "Performing the Reset Tool procedure will reset all adjustments, counters, and set up will need to be performed." Take that information and combine it with what Copier Tech said. The hints are everywhere, and this is the LAST I will comment on this subject. If you can't figure it out from here, you never will.

What for?
Finding a second-hand machine with legit counters in Poland, is like finding a unicorn
The same situation as with cars - "German cried when he was selling".

In UK they also know how to reset/copy meter counters. Electrical counter is much lower than mechanical. Its easy to get this info on web. I think that they working to hack c258 ..

Re: c224e counter reset

Electrical counter is much lower than mechanical.

This doesn't necessarily mean, that machine was intentionally resetted/cloned to cheat customer.
Sometimes you need to replace parts with new or used, just to repair machine, but from time to time you are not able recover original counters, then the only real counter is mechanical one.

Re: c224e counter reset

If someone is taking the time and effort to reset the electrical counters and not the mechanical counters, then they fools. Even the mechanical counters can be easily reset. Probably why KM phased out the mechanical counters with half-way through the XX4e series machines.
