    Kyocera Ecopysys 6525mpf enable color

    I got three Kyocera 6526mfp and cant figureout how to enable color. If you make copies or print in color, everything comes out black and white. I have check everything and cant figure it out I think the previous owners lock their employees from printing or copying in color. I have cleared memory and format SD Card and still did not change anything.

          I got the configuration in my hand, It is a Ecosys M6526cidn. It shows color toners at 70 percent on the status page but the color some kind of way is disable. I have looked in the driver, Net viewer, 10871087 menu. What am I missing here? I called Kyocera and they claim they never heard of disabling color on this machine besides if Job accounting is on but this one is not.

                Install a new correct kx driver then try. What happen when you select color copy what is the message?

                Any change in default setting will required a reboot to take affect

                  Function defaults > Color Selection (Copy) > Value: Auto Color, Full Color, Black & White - set to auto color or full color.

                    Try this prescribe command.

                    Code:
                    !R! FRPO W1, 1; EXIT;
                    However, I do find it odd that you can see the color toner levels on the status page. The only way you can see the color bar fill is if it's printed in color. If internal reports are printed in color and external prints/copies are B/W, then your problem is a matter of function defaults and print driver functionality. Try printing from a USB?

                      If you change Sys. Menu/Count. menu > Printer > Color Setting to Black & White the Status Page will be printed i B&W but that shouldn't effect normal printing and copying.

                        Not sure if it still does it on this model, but doing this prints the color calibration charts from the system menu in B&W, also. Had to call the hotline to figure that one out.
                        Hope that helps !

                              Thank You everyone for your advise, I been tearing myself apart trying to figure out this thing. I go into comm setting set to Full color, Printer color setting set to color, Function color selection- Full Color. I took your advise and took out the color toners and the machine prints b/w and not ask for color toners. It scans, copies and print only in B/W. I got pissed off and went into the 1087 menu and cleared the memory, factory defaults, format SD Card and upgrade firmware to find out this piece of crap still see b/w only. I did found in the new firmware a upgrade fix to printing out in monochrome and reading color but i upgraded the firmware and still the same thing. The Kyocera tech support never heard of this and dont have a clue. You would think that initializing the memory would clear everything out. I am thinking its down to board level script. What do this mean in the new firmware?

                              Corrective measures for theunexpected monochrome outputin a certain functionThe data might be output with monochrome when using Prescribe CCPYcommand in the prolog / epilog functions of the KX driver while the full-coloroutput was expected
