    4520 Series code or setting to bypass service codes

    Does anyone know a way to allow just the black to work even if one of the colors has problems? I have a machine in my service that was set by an unknown tech to do this and I would find it quite handy to be able to do in a pinch for my customers.

    I believe it's 08-4546 set from default "5" to "0". Remember though that it shuts off auto color calibration and registration, so your image quality can vary a lot. =^..^=
    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.

      Thanks for your response however I think its another procedure. I'm familiar with setting 4546 to 0" as I have done this a few times but the procedure I'm looking for will allow black to work even if the color units are inserted with bad coronas or even unplugged at the front.

        When i turn off image quality control on the older machines i usually change 08 - 4546 to 0, 08 - 556, 557 to 0.

          Thanks Jason,

          I will give it a try on one of my shop test machines
