    Isn't latest GY8-K0.

    That's the final firmware I ever used on this model

      This info is for the C353 series, but it may work for yours also...Try setting softswitch 10 to a HEX 02 value. This gets rid of the "generic" config page and the KM "Planets" logo. Emujo
      If you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.

            Who knows!
            This is typical Konica nonsensical FW labeling/dating. I just browsed through the three base firmware documentation and still not sure.

            Good news is that you have a ~33.3333333% chance of choosing correctly.

            Decipher this (I am inside the USA):
            Version K0 8/2/2007-8/23/2007
            Version I8 2/23/2007
            Version G4 8/22/2006-1/5/2007


            I am guessing the KO knocks out the other two.8/2/2007-8/23/2007

              K0 is the latest firmware for the C252. It was released 08/01/2007 to give you a idea of how old it is.

                Good thing you are here to verify.
                Do you know why the date is 8/2/2007-8/23/2007? I mean what the heck does that even mean?
                (Admittedly, I thought I read the G4 year as
                8/22/2007-1/5/2007--oops.)
