    Bizhub C203

    Hi guys,







    There are posts on the forums that talk about replacing a fuse to reset the counters for the transfer belt and the fuser. Instead of having to rechip each IU is there a fuse that can be used to reset/ignore all the counters on the image units? Is that what this fuse, KONICA MINOLTA (Compatible) Chips - Reset Fuses 0251.062MXL

    Thanks in Advance!

      First of all, and this criticism is aimed at your bosses and not you, if your bosses think they'll save money by placing an inexperienced (no offense) person in charge, they'll probably be sorely mistaken.

      I have no experience chipping IUs, but they use no fuses whatsoever. The only units that you'll be able to reset using fuses are the fusing unit and the transfer belt.

          mrwho is right in the fact about fuses and chips, there isn't a fuse to reset the IU's.

          By setting the Stop Life to suspend, you will still get a message saying that the IU needs to be replaced and still be required to press OK before you can make a copy. As you can probably understand, this can get annoying for customers and can reflect poorly on your service if left for ages as the customer knows that you haven't replaced the units.

          Have a look through the forums and look into purchasing yourself an IU Chip Resetter. They are easy to use and some of them are small enough that you can now carry them around with your laptop.
          Please don't ask me for firmware or service manuals as refusal often offends.

              Thanks guys! 6 hours after the post I discovered setting the stop IU controller to suspend does NOT take away the message that the IU must be replaced, so I'll be looking into getting the reset chips.

                  what you need to do is just replace the units. your images will be much better.

                      Texchar is correct. Resetting the units will get you a little more life out of them, but your image quality will be compromised. There's a reason for the iu life counters, the drum and developer are both weak at the point when the message appears. But if image quality isn't an issue for you, then carry on.
