    konica and ineo

    Just inherited a punch of customers with ineo copiers

    so far the drums from the compatible konica work ok.

    curious about software switches and toners.

    am yet to try but the fact drums worked is a good sign. Is the only difference the firmware?

    Everything is identical inc the firmware.

    If you change SW 10 to HEX 02 this will change it to a Konica Minolta then you could change the front cover logos.

      I have tried on an ineo 654e and it was in 02 by default, and it is still develop

          print a network config sheet, see if it says generic or an actual model.
          if generic you may need to set the Machine and Type correctly from a FW boot stick.
          We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
          The medication helps though...

            Why so much buzz about being KM or Develop? My Develop machines are perfectly running with KM firmware and consumables. I'm talking about 8 series and newer though.
            So what fleet we are talking about?

                Analog machines still exist and do copies

                  Develop are going strong in the UK. Olivetti have pulled out of the region and KM and Develop have swooped all over the partner accounts they left behind

                        Same here. They may cut some extra super-duper options from Develop price list that seems the only difference. I have both brands same models working side by side both running strong.
