    I did throw in an excess of detail ... like usual. One last comment: Don't get creative with the command syntax. An extra period or an extra space will screw up the whole thing. Keep it simple.

    Congratulations on your success. =^..^=

    It wasn't excess. You gave me enough to keep me busy for a while. I love learning this stuff. Should pay off down the road somewhere. Thanks again.

      Question about resetting NIC for TA-3501i that I have here at the shop.

      When I execute:

      Reset for internal network is : ECHO !R! SIOP0,"RESET:0"; EXIT;

      Reset for option network is : ECHO !R! SIOP2,"RESET:0"; EXIT;

      The command seems to go thru for both and I get a black sheet of paper printed out. Is this the way it's supposed to work?

      Also, I read a couple of other commands on here for resetting the NIC but I get an error message relating to job accounting which is turned off. Here are those 2 commands:


      !R! ACNT "EGRE";EXIT;


      !R! ACNT "REST";EXIT;

        I know most Kyocera techs on here probably aren't too interested in Prescribe but I've been unable to put it down once I learned that it existed. I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze but I decided to stop playing around and actually read the 400+ page manual. This is basically learning a new language.

        I'm curious how many Kyocera factory trained techs had to learn prescribe and what level of expertise were you able to achieve?

        One thing the manual did force me to do is learn about about the different Kyocera print drivers and emulations. That was interesting and I should have taken the time to learn it long ago. Better late than never, I suppose.


        Blackcat, what did you get me into?

          Blackcat, what did you get me into?
          Factory trained Prescribe class in Texas
          Only a few times using in the field.
          Your can create forms, logos etc.....
          Best real world was replacing a dot matrix printer
          and repeat copy using all 4 trays on colored paper.

          Not used that much but a factory dealer get discount points IE dealer score if your trained.

          Plus did have to use it a few times.

          Yes All Kyocera use Pcl XL kyocera
          Pcl5 Hp
          KDPL postscript

          Normally we default to pcl5
          Kyocera XL usally Sucks .

            PCL for speed. KDPL (Post Script) for quality. Right?

              Usually PS for Mac's
              PCL5c pretty good

              Sometimes you got to find one that works for a weird font issue but Pcl5 almost never has issues.

                Yes, PS is used for Macs but my understanding is that KDPL (postcript) should/can be used on a windows machine when you want the best quality. That's why it's slower than PCL5.

                  True, but there are exceptions to every rule.

                  We've had bizhub Presses running a generic PCL driver on a Mac with success. This is the first place to experiment when you have print issues. Try each of the emulations to see which gives the best results. =^..^=
                  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.
