Fiery e-7000

[bat]

Im trying to connect a e-7000 to Aficio 3260C, but the machine does not ''see'' the Fiery. Replaced the connection cable, and reinstaled system software. The machine works fine with printer card. How much RAM needs Fiery to operate normaly? What Im missing? Thanks...

1. Remove the I/F slot cover [A] of

Slot C [C] (this is the slot for the external controller) (! x 2).
2. Touch a metal surface to remove static charge from your hands before you touch the extension card.
3. Insert the extension card [B] into Slot C [C] and fasten it with the screws. (x 2).

NOTE:

Make sure that the extension card is inserted straight and firmly.

Connect the interface cable as follows:

− .Copier Side. [D]:
Connect this to the extension card and fasten the screws.

−

.Controller Side. [E]:
Connect this to the video interface on the rear of the E-7000.

NOTE:

If the interface cable is connected in the opposite direction, the copier engine will fail to communicate with the controller.
5. Connect the appropriate AC power cord [F] to the power connector at the back of the E-7000.
6. On the operation panel of the copier, remove the Slot Cover [A] and discard it.
7. Install the base key top [B] and Fierydriven key top [C] in the position indicated in the illustration. Use the correct keytops, as shown in the table below.

1. Connect the power cord of the copier to a power outlet and switch on the copier
main power.

NOTE:

1) The copier must be turned on before you turn the E-7000 on.
2) Make sure that all firmware modules for the copier are updated to
the newest versions. If they are not, update them before you turn on
the E-7000.
(☛ Copier Service Manual)
2. Turn the power switch on the E-7000 back panel to ON.

Thanks for your reply but, I have the manual, and already tried everything from It. After turning main switch on and pressing Fierydriven buton "Please wait" is far I get.

If the Fiery is stuck on "Please Wait" chances are the HDD is failed. You'll have to get a new HDD and install the software on the Fiery and start over. You can try to format the drive and re install, but I've not been able to recover any drives for the long term with out replacement.

I have one and one only e-7000 fiery, and have recently had the same problem. In fact it woul say "Please Wait" and the customer could still print 1 & 2 page jobs to the copier, but it would always stay on the "Please Wait" screen.
If you have acces to the Ricoh TSC site you can download the fiery firmware. Go to the the AF 3260C colour copier "Tool Box" and you will find the e-7000 firmware tab there. You want to download the zip file eoz_chopin_fi_1.1.0. You will need to extract the folder with the same name and from that folder click on "Installer". You will need an Ethernet cable; the fiery download instructions at this point are very good and easy to follow.
The download takes quite awhile. Be sure to print the config page first because there are a lot of parameters to re-enter. Hope this works for you; I had no problems once I reloaded the fiery firmware!
