moving creo from one c500 to another one

[jzheld]

I checked it's compatible for the creo

The machine firmware is different between the KM and IKON versions, as well as the Creo software itself. Not by much, but different.

Last I knew they were not interchangeable.

I could care less about the Creo, that is not the focus...but on a tangent....I looked this up...

[PrintOwners] Creo Rip (IC-301) for Konica-Minolta Bizhub PRO C500

Which seems to indicate there are differences even with the Creo itself.

But that is not what I am talking about. I am talking about the main body of the machine. Just because the Ikon looks like a KM, does not mean they are the same machine. There are HUGE differences between an Ikon C650 and a KM C6500, despite the fact that they physically look the same on the outside.

The same analogy would be that just because Dodge trucks look like Ford trucks, they have 4 wheels, steering wheel, engine, transmission and so on, does not mean you can interchange the motors without a lot of issues.

they are the same for sure, I keep changing parts from one to another, didn't find anything different whatsoever, even firmware is the same, and it's saying powered by konica, lol

If memory serves the cic card in the creo is differnt from ikons to konicas version of creo. same thing with the ip 901 and ip921. have not seen the ikon version of the ic405 or ic302.

so is there any way to use a creo with ikon?

If that were so, then you would not be having so much difficulty combining the hardware.
