Re: Xerox DC25 Fiery
Thanks for the response ,yes i reloaded the sys software for the fiery as it was always getting offline after printing the startup page , so decided to reload the software onto its 80 gb Harddisk but now after completing the installation ,the fiery just displays "FF" right away yet the dip switches are in the right position,i have even opted to change the Harddisk but all in vain, i even tried to replace the fiery video board but all in vain "FF"still being displayed ,the machine and the fiery cable seem to be fine as i have tested them with another fiery and they have workwdComment

Re: Xerox DC25 Fiery
try to test the disk in the other fiery, if it gives you the same ff code, there is a problem with the disk or with the installed software
check this also. very important explanation.

You can realize if the fiery is working by presing the all services button (silver button on copier keyboard), by doing this you should see on the copier screen three services buttons copy, network scanning and programing initially only the copy button will be enabled the other two will enable as soon as the fiery is ready it normally take about three to five minutes to get ready.
When you turn on the copier you can look at the fiery display it will go increasing values from 25 then 33 then 42 and 66 (all these values are POST tests, then 75 here it will detect the hard drive, if no hard drive is detected then the display will go to FF, if the HD is found then it will continue to 96 then FF for a short instance and finally it will stay at 00, meaning that the OS is starting. At this time it will take 3 to 5 minutes to boot the OS and start the print server software and will enable the rest of the services (network scanning and programming). Once the fiery is ready it will print a start up page (If enabled) in that page you can see the network settings, make sure the computer you are trying to connect is at the same network configuration (check network mask and default gateway).
Here's a few things to check:
The fiery has two small dip switches just below the display, these switches should be to the off position, check if they are at the ON position, if they are at ON it will show FF at the display as soon as is powered on (The ON position is for software loading and will prevent the fiery to start normally). If they are ON, poower off, then flip the switches OFF and then power on.
A failling software will turn the fiery display from 00 to FF, if this is the case then you will need a software reload.
If the fiery stays at 00 but then shuts down by itself after five minutes, this means that the fiery didn't connect to the copier, (bad connection between fiery and copier).
hope any of these helps, best regards.Comment
