    [Misc] Cheat sheet for misc. CS/Kyocera maintenance items, consumables, etc.?

    Would anyone happen to have a quick cross-reference item number table or list for regular replacement consumables/parts
    (toner, drums, rollers, etc.) for current/popular CS/Kyo models and PM cycle count reference for machines they could
    possibly copy my way?

    In my limited experience so far, it seems Kyocera decided to not make these numbers or references easy to fetch in one place.
    Maybe I'm just not experienced enough or not looking in the right places but I do notice for example that when I search
    on kdaconnect.com under "Technical Resources" -> "PM List" menus, no results are returned even for current models.

    There's a lot of pages and PDF's to look through just for referencing consumables item numbers and regular PM part numbers
    and if a "go-to" guide for this type of thing sounds good if nobody already has one, maybe we could compile a list like that for
    something that would be helpful for quick reference in the field or at the office.

      Re: Cheat sheet for misc. CS/Kyocera maintenance items, consumables, etc.?

      I'd start with the Release Bulletin (usually bulletin B1) for the model series you're interested in. I'll attach one for your perusal.
      On page 8 of the Release Bulletin you'll find the part numbers for the PM kits, and the breakdown of what's in the kits.

      There are lots of useful things in the Release Bulletin, like:
      what accessories are compatible and requiring which other accessories
      supplies and yields

      Does this help? =^..^=

      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.

          That is definitely a good resource, thank you Black Cat!

          BTW, here was Kyocera's reply to my inquiry:

          " General Maintenance is covered in the Online or Classroom Training courses as well as Maintenance Kit replacement.
          We have not issued a separate PM List for some time. However, our newer model Service Manuals list periodic maintenance procedures."

          Well... ok then.
          I'm trying to find out from them about starting with which "newer" models would include helpful information like this.

              Here is an (albeit very limited) example of the revised/updated information from Kyocera for one of the
              "newer" models

                  We have something called Kyocera Command Center, not to be confused with the web page generated by the copier.

                  Here is a older version

                  Kyo Command Centre.pdf

                  Rename it to .xls for some reason a .xls file is considered invalid file using the copytechnet upload facility so I called it .pdf

                  I have some newer ones at work I can upload later

                      Thanks skynet. I couldn't rid myself of the .pdf file extension, but could temporarily open the file selecting Excel, then Save As.
                      You can also .zip excel files and they'll upload. =^..^=

                          Very helpful - another great reference
                          I wonder if the UK models aren't too different aside from the whole 50Hz/220V thing...

                          Is "Command Centre" there in the UK also synonymous with the webpage-based copier/printer management interface as it is here in the USA?

                          Thanks a million

                              In general fusers (specifically heat lamps) and power supplies will be different 50Hz/60Hz =^..^=

                                  @blackcat - Regarding their power spec/voltage differences, definitely something to think about with the information in the file provided by skynet (insert Terminator joke here).

                                  @skynet - Was that Command Centre file procured from Kyocera directly or?
                                  Just curious and if so then I maybe can possibly ask them to provide a US version. If not, and the charging units, fusers, etc. are different,then well someone here has their work cut out for them if one should so desire to compile a new Worksheet.

                                  And love the added error codes references in that worksheet as well - very nice!

                                  Edit: I see the "Kyocera UK" statement in the worksheet now. Off to the inquiry.

                                      I have no idea where it came from, it was given to me by another tech. It has nothing to do with the Command centre photocopier webpage, why two completely different things are given the same name is beyond me.
