Which IU did you strip ?

[Albonline]

flashing to the special firmware renders rechipping unnessary.

[big jase]

it was the yellow iu i stripped down

what is the special firmware Albonline..how does that work?

[mmru4real]

the special firmware allows you to turn off stop at end of iu life essentially allowing it to run until the cows come home without replacing until copy quality problems occur

[big jase]

does end user still get message that iu needs replacing....what version is firmware

[ck1]

you take wrong pwb , this is tcr sensor not the drum chip . you photo chip at the first is black color chip , not the yellow. ( sorry poor english )

[Albonline]

does end user still get message that iu needs replacing....what version is firmware

No, the latest special version will even clear the message after it triggers. look it up on konicas tech web.

On SSD, if you look up the keyword "IU enhance", you should get the details. This is only effective for C250 and newer colour series machines.

This fuctionality is built into the 652/652DS/C360 family. You have to set the soft switches correctly, but no firmware update is needed (although I would rec upgrading to B4 ASAP). The firmware upgrade is only applicable to the C203 through C650 family. The user will still see the oil can displayed, but MFP will not stop and IU replacement is elective versus mandentory, and no messages on the LCD to replace IU. Emujo

What softswitches disable the "End of Life" messages on the C652 and C360 family machines? I tried switch 51 on a C360 showing "Replace Drum K" and it did nothing. Switch 50 only allows black ready ACS. TB6901 disables the prohibiting of copying past the end of life, but it does not eliminate the message on the display. TB7528 is only for the C353 and C650 family machines which "eliminates" the "need to replace" message. I would really like to know how to disable the "Need to Replace" messages on the newer color models. Thanks

Sorry gents (and ladies) I was given bad info on the C652/C360. The IU will suspend printing 5K copies past the end of life message. However, I believe KM will offer firmware to make this available on the C652/C360 once they are sure we don't screw up the C650 series by allowing them to run past their life spans. Hope no[one went crazy trying to set this up. Emujo
