[Misc] 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

[mkonkelz]

Hello Everyone,

i have a Bizhub 4000P Printer and have 3 questions:

1. My printer is from 2014 and has the first firmware on it (LW32.PR2.P331 / FDN.PIR.E412).
I want to upgrade to a new version. Can someone help me out with an up-to-date firmware?

2. I tried to upgrade the printer memory and inserted a 1GB DDR3 RAM DIMM into the memory expansion slot on the controller board.
When i turn on the printer it gives me a "959.20 Service System Board" error. Without the memory installed everything is working fine.
But with installed memory the Printer won`t start. Why is that? Do i have to get some kind of proprietary Konica Minolta memory or do i have to get a license for the memory upgrade?

3. The 4000P should support Apple AirPrint. When i check my license file in the web interface it states "Printer.AirPrint 1" but none of my Apple devices can find the 4000P.
There is no option in the web interface or the printer settings to enable it. Other Printers are working just fine. Do i just need a newer firmware? Or why is this not working?


It would be great if someone could help me out here

Thank you very much!

According to Konica Minolta you must have firmware version LW41.PR*.P454 or newer for AirPrint to work.

Asking for firmware here can be tricky.

its simple, if you become a contributor here, folks are very helpful when it comes to firmware manuals or movie data.

Thanks for sending me the files.
I just read the dokuments and apparently this new firmware has restrictions regarding the firmware version that is currently installed.

I have LW32.PR2.P331 / FDN.PIR.E412 installed right now. As it seems for installing LW70 i need LW62 and for upgrading to LW71 i need at least LW41.

So my upgrade routine should look like this?
LW32 --> LW41 --> LW62 --> LW70 --> LW71 ?

Therefore i would need LW41 and LW62 in addition.

Re: 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

Something is not working on my end...

I tried upgrading from LW32 to LW41. The data transfer seems to work, but after the transfer is complete, and the coding begins i get a bluescreen on the printer with Programming Error P200.
I downloaded the firmware again, i tried to update with the Webinterface over Ethernet and The USBFlash Tool directly connected to a PC. But every Time the same error.
CRC Check for bot Files are okay.

Do i need to install a version between LW32 and LW41 first?
Should i try a higher Version eg. Update from LW32 directly to LW62?

Or what goes wrong here?

Re: 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

Updating is always a mystery in these printers. I advise you to use the RAM provided by KM, so you have no doubt about hardware compatibility.


I read the firmware list:
LW41.PR2 (PRL) .P454-0 / FDN.PIR.E511 >>> You have no option
LW41.PR2.P454dl-0C >> If you have UK-P03
LW41.PR2.P454-0C >> If you have UK-P02

From what I read, before installing LW70, install LW41.XX.P4xx then install the Controller Firmware [LW50.XX.P5xx].
Finally install for LW70.

My Printer is on Firmware LW32.PR2.P331 / FDN.PIR.E412 at the moment.

I tried to upgrade to: LW41.PR2.P454-0 / FDN.RIP.E511-0

Edit: The Printer has no options installed.

have you somehow managed to revive her?

[mkonkelz]

Re: 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

The Printer is working just fine. It just won`t upgrade to the LW41 firmware.

What firmware don't you have?

Re: 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

What do you mean by that?

Firmware installed at the moment: LW32.PR2.P331 / FDN.PIR.E412

I tried to upgrade to: LW41.PR2.P454 / FDN.PIR.E511

@Synthohol has provided me:

Re: 4000P Firmware, Memory, AirPrint

I believe that firmware is not good if you do not have optional UK-P02
