Re: New SERVICE CODE SC666

The code is for the 03 metis range and is a very important service code from what the Product support guy at Ricoh seem to say that it was important to make sure all our 03 copiers were updated to the latest System and Engine firmware so it could be detected as a possible safety risk!

I just checked "What's New in Firmware" on TSRC. Engine firmware and System/Copy firmware for MP CXX03 as of June 2014 production. Check the Firmware History dated July 9, 2014 or July 10, 2014 depending on the model.

From the engine firmware notes:
1.22:01

Spec changes:

Firmware modification (Engine and System/Copy) so that the power line
(24V) is shut down when detecting the layer short-circuit and SC code
is displayed.


Note:

SC666 has been newly added. Depending on the sub code of SC666, the
action is different as follow.

SC666-01 ：PCB:IOB:ENGINE

SC666-02/03 ：PCB:IOB:TRANSPORT

SC666-00 ：Both PCB:IOB:ENGINE and TRANSPORT


IMPORTANT: To apply the above changes, update this firmware together
with System/Copy.

System Copy Ver. 1.05 (D1775550) or newer for MP C2003/MP C2503

System Copy Ver. 2.03 (D1765550) or newer for MP C2003/MP C2503 with
Smart Operation Panel.

Not seen a tech bulletin about SC666 yet.

I'm a 'have not' slim. I don't have access to the TSC knowledge Buffet.
I was just going by the wording used by paulg. It sounded a little suspect to me, but maybe it is a little dark humour from the inside afterall.

I won't be needing firmware for those boxes for a few years. I'm strictly a refurb guy, and sell mostly machines 3-4 generations back.

Nope they were serious maybe the reason was to make the number stick in our minds or the Japanese design team not realise.

All I know is that we are to make sure all devices are at the levels MrFred posted or higher
