    Dipswitch prints only black and white 4e

    Hello guys,
    in the past something in this forum had managed to make your printer print in black and white. By chance there is a dipswitch that allows you to do this?


    I don't want to enable authentication or accounts to do this limitation. Is there any trick?


    Thanks!

          Yes, I've already thought about this. I also wanted the copy function to work exclusively in black and white. I can do it in the authentication setting but I wanted to know if anyone was aware of a dipswitch.

                  Bix,

                  I think what you need is Version 1.0.00002_Panel (Panel Customize Tool). It's software made for us techs to set a machine to have the panel display only what the customer wants. I just found out about it from a co-irker and haven't tried it yet but am getting ready to use it to experiment. It's found under the One Stop section of a specific machine and under the Utilities tab. It even works on all the i-series machines.
                  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.

                      Excellent idea it will work. I tried it before and it's easy peasy. You just check boxes for each function what do you want and what don't.

                          Yep, super easy. I just tried it and that's one of the coolest things I've learned about copier-wise lately! This opens a whole new way of doing things if customers don't want to use authentication. Of course the main caveats are it's global and control panel only.

                          I just did this on one of our C454e's in the office.

                              How did i miss this damn,so many authentication setups for nothing,is this something new or was i completely oblivious to it(im guessing i was)?
                              I don't like the new copier I just bought. It says "put face down" but every time I do it, it blinds my eyes.

                                  I would ask what do you do when the customer says I need color for the moment?

                                      It's not brand new as I work with KonMin now for third year and saw it at the beginning.

                                          Yeah, like I said, that's one of the caveats of it being a global setting. If the customer does want the option to sometimes make color copies, then the only way is using authentication.
