Minolga Di200 / Pi3502 Driver

[Guest]

Hello,
I have a Minolta Di200 with Pi3502 driver.
This printer's IP is stuck at 10.0.1.3(protocol address), and 10.0.1.1 default gateway. Can this be changed? I need to change this information to the IP used in my network (192.168.11.xxx)? My router is not detecting it in its LAN client list.

Please help with direction to follow to get this machine to print from the computer (network mode). Add printer Network printer is not detecting it either.

I am running MS Vista home premium.

Thanks,

Jorge

Resetting PI-3502 IP

From the copier press utility, then admin, enter code (probably 00000000 or 12345678), choose admin 2, network settings, basic settings, change your settings and turn the machine off then on again. You will probably need to go to your computer and set up a new PORT to print. The PI-3502 drivers are listed on the Vista print drivers.

Thanks. Do you know if there is a way to reset the Adminstrator Code in the Utilities section? I bought the machine 2nd hand and I don't have the password.

Thanks,

Jorge

I think you have to remove the controller, take off the back and hit a reset switch (mini button) and it will reset it to 00000000, or 12345678
Im not sure, but i belive this is the only way to reset the admin
have you tried the web access route and see if you can access it there?

[jorge1011]

Thanks Digicor. I removed the Pi3502 controller, opened it and did not find a reset button. Which controller are you referring to?

Thanks,

Jorge

If you have laptop plug into m/c via crossover cable and set to appropriate ip address log into webpage default pw is sysadm
and change ip from admin console.

i have had to do this on the IP511 not the one your working on, i just thought they might me the same reset.

The Network configuration is done through the copier panal under the admin mode. password default should be eight 0's. Admin password can be changed in the tech rep mode if 0's dont work.

you can get into the tech rep mode to change password by doing this:

press utility, meter count, stop, 0,0,stop, 0, 1. then go to admin tab and change password. back out then go to admin under utility mode and enter new password that you just changed. you will see network setup there. after entering new network info back out of mode then turn main power off then back on. wait for config page to automatically print (about 5 mins) to make sure new IP address took.

hope this helps

Thank you Copyman.

I was able to change the code, and get in to the networking screen and change the IP address.
However, I was not able to access the printer from the computer browser.
I have posted here the config. page printout: http://www.asterixdesign.com/minolta.jpg (notice the DNS still at 10.0.0.1. I didn't find a place to change this)

Also, navigating around the tech. menus, I came across TROUBLE menu:
All items had 0 (assuming no trouble), except for:
C18XX Printer Controller Error 571

Any ideas of what this means, or what is wrong with the configuration?
I did notice that where the CAT5 cable goes into the card, only a green light on the right is on (with or without the cable plugged in), and there is 0 flickering of either light. The green light closest to the CAT 5 cable is constantly off.

Thanks for any help,

Jorge

You might wan't to try changing the memory/scan card or rewriting it first. Aside from that sounds like a bad controller (NIC, controller board etc.) or interface card in back of machine. I have seen at least a dozen bad controllers. You are going to have a hard time finding someone to repair these.

[copyman]

the config page printing means the print controller is working. the green light on the nic card is normal. the trouble codes you see are normal for that controller. disregard the DNS 10.0..... your IP settings are to the right.
you should be able to type 192.168.11.115 into internet browser and see a diagram of copier (pagescope).

also did you install printer driver. you have to create tcp/ip port. use LPR port and que name "port1"

also try pinging that IP address from computer to see if you get steady replies. like the other poster said the NIC's go bad in that controller quite often.

[jorge1011]

No luck.
Not able to ping. 100% loss, unreachable IP.
Driver doesn't install either because PC can't find the printer at the IP while installing the port.

I guess the network card or controller Pi3502 might be faulty? I reset the memory and scan/ps upgrade card.

Any ideas on where I can purchase a new one? Or does anyone have additional tips/suggestions?

Thanks to everyone for the help so far,

Jorge

Jorge the copier does not need to be connected to load the drivers. Go to add a printer, unclick auto detect at local printer, go to create a new port, choose TCP/IP, enter your IP address, go to custom settings, click LPR and type in PORT1 (in caps) under quene name, you may also want to click byte count enable, Then you will be prompted to load the drivers. If you have vista the drivers are listed under PI-3502 if not the PI-3500 will work in a pinch or download them from Konica-Minolta's website. If you still have a problem it may be time to call a tech more familiar with networking these machines.

[copyman]

99.9% of the time if the config page prints then the controller is good. As for pinging it, if it is saying unreachable then connection or something is not right. I have never seen a controller that was bad, only the Network card. And even then it would ping and drop off or steady time outs. the scan card has nothing to do with pinging the NIC. Try pinging with a crossover cable directly from a laptop or a pc.

[jorge1011]

FCBM, How do you re-write the memory card?

COPYMAN, are there any firewall issues I should consider? Any ports I should keep open? I just had the AT&T Uverse router installed (today), and apparently all IPs are firewalled. The interesting thing is that the IP assigned to the printer did show up in the UVerse router, however, I still cannot reach it via browser.

Thanks for any additional info.
