A045 memory full indicator

[rsyarcia]

Hello We have encountered a memory full indicator for A045 wide format printer. I've tried to format the HD but there was no reaction. Normally formatting the hard disk will take atleast 25 mins. but now when I perform SP4906 003(HDD Formating) immediately it will display "completed". We tried to replace the hard disk but the same problem exist. Thanks for your support in advance.

Bad HDD - If the machine doesn't recognize it at all then the machine can't even try to format it and the job ends as "completed" meaning I'm finished doing nothing

Memory Full

Thank you Mr. Shadow! Very nice analysis. I just bought a new harddisk 80G but the machine cant recognize it. The capacity of the old hd is 40Gig. Are their any incompatibilties if i used the 80Gig.

Did you check the jumper settings? I think they need to be set to Master, rather than cable select, but verify that from your old HDD.

Some of the old machines wanted a very specific HDD - Ricoh changed vendor and had to update the firmware to work with the new drives. Never had a problem as long as the drive was bigger than what I was replacing, but you might try the firmware to see if it helps.
