    taskalpha 520 mailbox problem

    I'm getting a message that states "mailbox tray 1-7 cannot be used due to failure". No further info or definition, & wondering if anyone has seen this or has any idea what it might be...

    When the finisher door is opened & closed, the mailbox unit doesnt cycle like it used to.

    I'd check for a hidden mystery jam and maybe make sure everything is set to home position and then see if you get an error.
    But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

      Figured it out...function reset (u-906) wouldn't work until we flashed the firmware. Worked with new firmware.

      Speaking of firmware, the newest firmware version removes the ability to select face up or face down output. Wish I had known that beforehand. Customer is not too happy (with their now effectively slower machine).

      Thanks for the reply, Jules. BTW, love the PF quote...

        Are you sure you have the latest firmware and I don't believe there is a version that would block out U906. And I certainly don't think it would remove a feature like that.

        I think the latest version is 5.

          420i/520i Main Frame Firmware Upgrade Pack Ver. 6.01

          There is also another tech release about C1400 code and coresponding upgraded parts to use for that problem.
