[Electrical] Bizhub 3050ci Maintenance C reset

[syspro]

Hi Kyocera experts,

is it possible to extended the counter for the maintenance C message after 300.000 pages, the fuser unit still works fine so we dont want to buy a new one.

Which is the most recent Firmware-Version ? Where could i download it or could someone send me in e-mail.

Thanks for your support,

Tobias

No bizhub 3050ci, Only Taskalfa 3050Ci!

Use mode U251 to clear the counter.

The parts warranty will expire 10% over that 300K. Is it worth tossing out the warranty? =^..^=

Sorry, my fault - i mean Kyocera Taskalfa 3050ci !!!

Thanks for your replies, it is a used machine, 5 years old, i dont think there is a part warranty anymore.

what could go wrong if i reset the maintenance counter and dont exchange the fuser unit ?

any ideas getting the actual firmware ?

They do seem to run really well doing the maint. If you're not going to, I'd change U250 instead of clearing the counters.

Typically I replace parts at warranty intervals, however, in the rare occurrences that I have out of warranty equipment like you are describing I will adjust U251 and bump it up by a smaller interval. This will ensure that you get back out periodically to check it (rather than waiting on a catastrophic failure that will cost you in the eyes of your client and possibly your wallet if you have to overnight one of those heavy suckers).
