You must be an IT guy. =^..^=

Explain how he could 'brick it' I'd be interested to hear your opinion ?

Wrong firmware, no the machine won't except it.

I guess the only way would be powering the machine off half way through the update, but even then starting the update again would resolve the issue.

The firmware update process is covered in most service manuals so simply follow this procedure to the letter, if you can read you can't go wrong.

Those Lexy 4050 are totally messed. Just read what emujo wrote. You have to be very carefull with combination of versions on:
1. Engine Firmware
2. Sub controller firmware
3. Main controller firmware

Hi,
I still don't get it how you can positively assume this a lexmark machine. I browse all day and nowhere i've seen that the Konica Minolta Bizhub 4050 belongs to Lexmark ! Here is a picture of the rear label:

I might be wrong, if so give me a proof, it's definitily the gesture i need to believe !
Oh, by the way, i'm not an IT guy, but i'm at ease with technologies...

Even if you hadn't worked on both models, like many of us have, Just look at them side by side. What do you think?:

A lot of manufactures rebadge machines.

There is a shortage of Konica Minolta toner due to a warehouse fire so i'm using the equivalent Lexmark toner.

Maybe from outside they are not 100% same but if you look inside you will see it is really exactly the same parts and layout.

Re: Bizhub 4050 firmware information ?

About the photo comparing the 2 machines, sorry to interrupt you, but this Lexmark is identical to the Bizhub 4020 and not the Bizhub 4050, you have confused them!
Also, their machine software is the same.
