No you can not use an MPC2550 ITB unit in an MPC2551 you will get an SC442 error, oh wait thats the error you're getting!


Error Codes > Ricoh > D040 MPC2550 DI-C1 > Code 442

hmmm I'm sure the SERVICE MANUAL would have that information also ... wouldn't it?

I cked point to point via mpc2050 to mpc2551 and regarding the ITB unit the only difference is one uses +5v on pin 31 to BCU
and the other uses-5v on pin 31..IN a digital world does that matter?

If you go to the link he posted, it mentions absolutely nothing about using a 2050 ITB in a 2051.

no.
and those techs that work for a big dealer who hand out boards and big ticket items like candy have to understand us "now independents"
Cant make a living competing unless we find ways to recycle some parts.
If you check the manuals only one would never use a mpc3000/mpc2800 etc drum in the latter models nor black pcu s in color units..

Fshead I feel your pain.

The exchange rate is killing us currently on new Ricoh parts so we also constantly need to find ways to save money.

Ricoh will charge almost double for a colour drum vs the black in the same machine?!

They are also creative when for instance fusing units look the same they will fiddle the wires in the connector so that it will report that the unit is not set....

There is no reason why parts cannot be more cross compatible - oh wait it is called profit!! That is why we receive a constant hiding in that department.....

Currently the biggest pain are the boards when some cost between half to 100% of a machine's value!?

I am lucky where i live in a fat city that buys new machines and sends back the "old"
3 years later,barely broken in..
I actually recently just buy low meter spc430dn and take the toners,drums,ITB unit,fuser and transfer assembly.
I wrapped them and tape them and leave the carcass for the recycle guy who picks up the scrap metal.
I use these for my mpc300,400 and mpc401 s that are a solid box..
I dont sell any brand new which means i am not having to learn the odd issues that may arise..
and having spare machines means i can gut boards or place a loaner if i need to buy a "parts machine with high meter and
maybe broken cosmetics..I out of principle will not pay $500 for a controller..
