    Fiery showing FF on c6500 ic408

    Looks like I need a hard drive or Reload the software and my tech is 3 days out.

    I am looking to operate the printer without the controller , direct from server or PC.

    Is that possible? I am being told yes and No.

    I have gone into the dip switches DIPSW 2-1 (1) On

    Set my NIC Ip to a range that is will pick up.

    Connected to the appropriate LAN on the machine.

    Is it futile? Can you only print via a controller?

    As i know it is not possible to print without controller.
    And this is logical because why people would buy a expensive controller if it can be printed without it.

      do you have/need system software?
      i can help you out if you are a contributor to this site.
      just an offer.
      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
      The medication helps though...

                Fiery boots up and shows FF error sometimes, but always works if I reboot the printer and then the fiery while the printer is warming up. BUT, I can't send any files much larger than 1MB to the fiery!!? And if I send anything larger it takes hours to load into the fiery, OR the fiery disconnects.

                Archived jobs in the fiery print just fine, is this a system software issue? A HDD issue? Or should I just upgrade to the external fiery ic-305?

                I don't have the system software, and I'm not sure of what HDD to get if I have to replace that too.. I can get the ic-305 for $1300 if I trade in my malfunctioning ic-408 from an ebay seller --> Konica Minolta FIERY IC-305-PLUS* Server *UPGRADE* from IC-408 X3eTY2 Controller | eBay

                Not sure what to do as I have to print many jobs this next week.. :/

                Any feedback/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

                Thanks!

                      I have for the ic408 versions 1.1 and 2.0
                      Do not try 2.0 unless you have had the bios and ram upgrade already installed.

                              Thanks Synthohol! I didn't even need to restore the software! When reading the instructions, I ran across the section for printing out the configuration settings to prepare for the reconfiguration, and out of curiosity I started comparing the settings from now to 3 years ago and noticed that the darn network Ethernet speed was incorrect!!

                              It's been 5 months holding off and thinking my Fiery went bad! What a relief!!

                              Thank you so much though! You still helped lead me into a solution, and I still have the software JUST IN CASE!
