I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but the owner of our company wants me to ask: Is it possible to take an MPC5502 and make a 5502A by swapping doc feeders or are the boards different? I have an MPC4502A that is junk except for the doc feeder. Wondering if anyone has attempted this. Thanks in advance.

Re: MPC5502 A?
The answer is NO. Not possible. There is no connector for the A doc feeder on the board where it plugs in. -
Re: MPC5502 A?
In what way is the mp c4502A junk? It might be easier to use the MP C4502 as a parts source to make the MP C4502A fully operational.
As for trying to move the SPDF:- Engine firmware if different
- IPU is different
- BCU is different
- Rack:Application:Front:right is different
- Some covers on the scanner different
- Some wiring harnesses are most likely different
- There will probably be SP setting that will have to be changed. There will probably be SP settings for the CIS that the correct values will need to be entered. I not certain but I believe these values are specific to the characteristics of the individual CIS.
- I do not know if engine firmware would need to be updated before or after moving parts and making SP settings.
- It might actually crater the machine trying to change firmware.
I do not think that they ever made an optional update to SPDF. If they did, it would have the instructions.Comment

Re: MPC5502 A?
Thanks for the response slimslob. I got to looking at the a and non-a and figured there were at least two boards that were different. When I say "junk" machine I mean a box with too many copies to refurb for the sales department. I just keep them for parts when they get a lot of copies on them.Comment
