di 3010

is there an easy way to do a firmware upgrade without buying the jig?
i have a 3010 that copies dark through the adf. user choice makes no difference. copies are great on the glass

There is no firmware update for anything like you describe! Are all the density and exposure adjustments set as normal? I have never had any problem with dark copies from the adf...normally only lighter, then I just select mode2 and all is well.

Yes, what jig are you talking about. The firmware is done with a flash card. I would think that you have a lamp problem.

The CF card only upgrades the MSC. The jig is needed to upgrade the printer (PWB-A) and the finisher.

I must be out of touch, never used a jig, never had any problems. Thanks for the info in case it comes up in the future.

I am still curious as to what would cause the problem. I do not want to divert this post off the subject.

You can adjust the ADF denisty through the Users Choice 6/6. From memory, you can lighten and darken copies through this mode. I would presume that this could be the problem if the copies off the platen glass were ok.

I can't remember exacly as this was brought up in one of our service meetings by another tech.

I agree with the other guys as to the firmware upgrading as there is a CF card in the side of the machine that you copy the new files to.

I had a look in the service manual and saw the jigs that you are talking about, but I have never used them as all.
