    [Misc] Hidden / undocumeted web interfaces?

    I've run into a few things on this forum that have been extremely helpful and I'm wondering if there are any others that I am missing. I'm the lone printer tech at my company and I am mostly self taught with them other then the manuals and traning videos available from kyocera.

    There are some hidden web interface menus that aren't in the normal documentation. You can get to them by going to the printers ip in a web browser and tacking on an extension.
    The two I know about at this point are:

    /svcmntrpt -menu for various status pages and event log and setting up emailing them automaticly
    /eventlog -just that, a web version of the printers event log showing jam codes and service codes! I just found this one today on this forum.

    Are there any others I am still missing or Kyocera didn't document to well? Because I keep finding out about these things reading threads on this forum.

    I'm extremely excited about finding these and how much easier they are going to make life with knowing what kind of jams a customer is having before heading out. But at the same time frustrated that I never come across them in the service manuals.

    who else has some they know about?

      hi, thanks for this /svcmntrpt (this is one I didn't know)
      I knew about the /eventlog (it has been very useful to me)
      I would also like to know if there are more!...

                  There are a lot of things not documented in manuals.

                  I had been working on an issue of printing a specific barcode using the customers in-house home-made application. Essentially it took 36" x 48" electronic PDF images and broke them into individual pages (since the HP's on-hand could not handle 400 such images all at once), and reduced all images to fit ledger. The data was written in PS2 and sent directly through to the printer's IP.

                  I found (4) other ways to do the same thing that are faster, after they complained about the slow print speed.

                  Where I was going with that, though, is my Kyocera rep asked me for a data capture. Naturally, I told him that AFAIK that model Kyocera can't do data captures. (10) minutes later I had a little utility that resides on a CF card. When that card was inserted and the machine powered up it kept .prn files of every document on the CF card.

                  And no there was no documentation. =^..^=
                  If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                  1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                  2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                  3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                  4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                  5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                          Don't even get me started on the CFxxx engineering codes that were entirely undocumented, until a group of techs on another forum put together a fairly comprehensive list from field experience. THEN, Kyocera released a bulletin. =^..^=

                                  Neither of those two commands work on my old POS CS-1650. =^..^=

                                          This little prescribe program I wrote will print out maintenance, event log, and status pages. Copy this string to note pad and save it on a thumb drive and select print file from USB. (!R! elog; stat; stat1; page; exit

                                              I know about elog, stat, and stat1 but I'm note sure I've seen the "page;" one. I'll test it in a little bit but for posterity, what does it do?
