    There is no "link" You either have to work for KM/KM dealer, or find someone willing to risk his job to give/sell you the firmware. If you are KM or dealer all firmware is available on the private KM site. Emujo

      Yeah, this is one of my biggest pet peeves about this site. I'm in my 30th year as a Legacy Minolta, now Konica Minolta service technician and every time I see someone on here say, "Donate to the site and I'll send it to you.", it drives me nuts. Nobody should be just giving out this type of info (including service manuals, IMO) because who knows what the person (tech or not, how do we really know?) is going to do with the files. What if they post it online for anybody to get, then all of our jobs are at risk because people will just go online to get stuff that we as technicians would normally have to do. I sure wish this type of activity would stop on this forum!
      Started in the copier service business in the fall of 1988 and worked at the same company for 33.5 years, becoming the senior tech in 2004 but left to pursue another career on 4/29/22.

        I know that was aimed at me so I will just say this, eventually they will find the manual somewhere from someone so since I see that as an opportunity to help this site grow and continue.
        I don't give out meter resetting info or files like some have done here.
        I get where you are coming from, I'm a 20 year minolta vet myself. You are the first person to take exception to my standing offer and unless the admin or mods ask me to stop I'd really like to continue helping perpetuate this site and hopefully become member supported so we don't have to see any stupid ads on this site. My ad blocker blocks on avg 4-25 popup ads and sidebar ads. It's disgusting and a site this good should not have to depend on ads to keep the site running.
        So please understand I mean you no disrespect. I don't ask for money for myself, I don't want to profit from it. I like to help people and give this site the boost it deserves.
        We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
        The medication helps though...

          Consider this....I have been told (not able to verify) that firmware you download from the KM site has some kind of masked identity tag embedded in it. If this is true, then the person you gave the firmware file to now has your ID in it. Not something I would want to worry about coming back to haunt me. I'm happy to give advice, and recommendations based on my experience with KMs, our solutions, and networking issues, but I agree that manuals, firmware, passwords, ect should be posted here. IMHO only..

                    if you are a Certified tech for KM ( or any brand ) you already have that info.

                      you have GOT to be kidding me! you want a fellow tech to risk his employment for YOU? "i will keep it secret and use just for self-knowledge." and if ANYONE believes that CRAP.. they SHOULD lose their job.. you do know your request violates CTN rules right? We do not need people like you here.

                          If i say i am a certified KM tech then what man? I am a certified KM tech and i am not asking any fellow tech to risk his employment. I have info about this but i also do believe that there are some really true and good people out there in this world who can share. As i am saying this will be just for self knowledge nothing else. If someone do not want to share then i am not begging or insisting to do so.

                          Copyetch forum is a great place to learn and exchange of knowledge.

                          Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge and experience.

                            if you were a certified tech you have access to everything through SSD.
                            normally i would help but honestly you dont meet the criteria.
                            sorry.
                            We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
                            The medication helps though...

                              Thank you very much "synthohol". I am a certified KM tech but do not have access to KM knowledge base. Just have an account for Outward learning which is also limited. Strange for you guys but this is true. A certified KM tech with only access to KM LMS nothing more. You may laugh but truth is truth.

                              THANKS SYNTHOHOL!
