With machine running, press and hold "Home" and "Simple screen" keys at the same time for more than 3 seconds..... then press "User Tools" key

It took me ages to find this info a couple of weeks ago when I was working on one of these

This sort of info is now contained in the training material, not in the manual. I work in South East London and the Dartford area mainly

Re: How To Enter SP Mode On SP C 830DN

Thanks for that info

Myself I cover whole of the South East (all of London - lots in SE and Croydon (you name it I go there :-)) - are you employed or freelance ???

Re: How To Enter SP Mode On SP C 830DN

Croydon is the other part of my patch, but I don't too often venture over there (thankfully), I work for Ricoh direct

Re: How To Enter SP Mode On SP C 830DN

Blimey I worked for Ricoh for about 6 or 7 years but left about ...............10 years ago maybe more !!!!

I only joined them just over 5 years ago, I worked on Xerox machines until then

LOL, they're not quite that bad, I actually quite liked working on them, when I first moved to Ricoh it was like going back 20 years, I hadn't had to get my hands dirty like that in so long. Most of the Xerox machines I worked on had a lot of customer replaceable units, so little work for us to do, and hardly any need for dirty hands, then I joined Ricoh and started working on the Adonis range, it was quite a baptism of fire LOL

Re: How To Enter SP Mode On SP C 830DN

Ive worked on Ricohs only now for about twenty years , first worked on the original Mita's now they really were terrible - think you get very used to your own product in the end - and they just feel "right" - listen to us a couple of right old copier "techies" - LOL

Re: How To Enter SP Mode On SP C 830DN

I have been doing this job since early 1985, so I am pretty old
I really like working on Ricoh now, I think they are pretty good products (with a few issues, but wouldn't life be boring if we didn't have anything to make us think)

Im sure your not Debs (old I mean !) - Im 47 myself so I think that puts me definately in the old club LOL - I know what you mean - as I say ive worked freelance for the last 6 years and that brings its own set of problems - but we shouldnt complain its paid my mortgage for 25 years and thats quite important these days and youre right it keeps the old brain ticking over (although these days you can hear mine turning over)
