    [Misc] Bizhub C358 missing 'Device Comsumables' tab

    Hi all, my question as in the title this tab is missing so no way to view image unit life, is it possible an engineer has disabled this somehow, a SW for example no mention in the CE manual
    Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

    This does not appear by default on the 8 range. There is a dip switch to enable it, but it requires an engineer to do the adjustment.

        We have found this also. We looked through the manual and found that if DIP SW 227 and 230, all the bits are 0. That will make that consumables button appear. Go to switch 227 and change all to 0 and then hit FIX and the same for Switch 230. Hope this helps.

          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                Why is it that the UK gets all the helpful bulletins and they're never published in the US?

                  Every 8 series i goto that has this crap feature enabled I turn it off so the consumables page returns.

                  I also turn on near life display and consumables reminder for drums since they barely even last the standard life.

                    Re: Bizhub C358 missing 'Device Comsumables' tab

                    Thanks for this information. I would like to have the button "consumable life" because I like to look at the gas gauges during problem diagnosis. However I don't want a warning on the screen (but an oil can would be OK). From the manual it seems blanking 227 and 230 give you the button AND the warnings and life stops. Is this right?

                      You only need to change sw 277 to enable the comsumables button not sure what sw230 does.

                        are we talking about the consumables page in Page Scope or under utility/counter ?

                          I'm looking for the one under utility/counter with the little bars representing life remaining, accessible on the operation panel.

                            Yes, so change sw 227 to HEX 00
