Re: e-studio to okidata
The developing units do not have EEPROM chips, but I don't know if they are keyed differently. The developing units for the Weisshorn Low (eS 2550C) come pre-filled with developer, where the developing units for the Weisshorn High (eS2555-5055) do not come with developer (but it's the same type: OD-FC30). There are other differences also, for example the low speed models have developer bushings (which fail earlier) not bearings.
All I can tell you for sure is that it won't be a direct swap. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: e-studio to okidata
... do you want a parts machine to service a Toshiba original copier or an Okidata/ Toshiba relabeled copier?
The Okidata 9645 is almost not worth the cost of freight to bring it in and certainly not to put in the field.
The whole e5055c series is now getting long in the field and time to replace with current models.Comment

Re: e-studio to okidata
If you have an oki es9465 it is 100% identical to the Toshiba e Studio xx55cse. Only the data in the Logic EEprom and the firmware are different. I've also converted a few machines from OKI to Toshiba.Comment

Re: e-studio to okidata
What about your developer units? I always repair them, Toshiba has all the spare parts for them (I use better sealing rings and ball bearings). (but you should already have done it 1 - 2)Comment

Any information you can share on this process would be great, have an OKI ES9475, and would like to run with Toshiba supplies (guessing the machine will not accept Toshiba supplies though they are identical?)

Re: e-studio to okidata
At your own risk, but, several years ago, we had an "off brand" E-5540 that we got on a trade.
I can't remember if it was Ricoh, or who's brand was on it. We were going to scrap it, so I thought
I'd see what would happen if I flashed it with a TABS rom. It took it, and upon boot, showed the TABS
logo, and everything worked perfectly. I then snapped a photo of the screen & front of the machine and
sent it to our DSM to see what he would say. He said nice try, but you ain't getting support from me. LOL
We parted it out and tossed it.
Not sure if your okidata would take the TABS firmware or not. I may have just gotten lucky.Comment

I realize this is an older thread, but I thought it was related to my situation. I have an OKI ES9465 that I want to convert to a Toshiba E-studio 4555c. I have the firmware for the Toshiba and I was able to load it successfully, but after a reboot it came up with an F900 error. I believe this is because the SRAM still thinks it's an OKI. I also have access to a Toshiba 3555c. Is it possible to clone the SRAM from one to the other? I know the SRAM is tied to a serial number, so I don't know if that would work.
Or is there any other procedure I can do to accomplish this?Comment

... so you want to convert a discontinued Oki to an officially discontinued and no longer supported Toshiba? Seems like a waste of time.
If you really want a e4555c buy a used one for cheap and save your old machines for parts.Comment

It may be a waste of time for some, but I'm just trying to keep our community theater's existing printer(s) going. I realize they are both older, but it is what we have. We are focusing our current financial resources on other, more urgent needs. Toshiba supplies (i.e. toner) are cheaper and more readily available than the OKI versions.
Any assistance would be appreciated. It sounds like converting the OKI to a Toshiba has been done before and I would like to know the process. Thanks.Comment
