Fiery showing FF on c6500 ic408

[swaggen]

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.

Re: Fiery showing FF on c6500 ic408

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!
