    iR 2200 Firmware

    We had a hard drive go out in our iR 2200 recently. Using the SST and some firmware I had for what I thought was the 2200, I was able to format a new HDD and install the firmware. When I tried to install the system firmware labeled iR 2200, it said the selected and connected devices did not match. The system software for the iR 2200N seemed to work though. It is now working fine for copying functions.

    However it will no longer function as a printer. I'm guessing maybe the firmware I had did not include PCL support or something? I can ping the copier's IP address, I can ping a computer from the copier, and if I install the drivers on a computer it will show up as ready, but all the jobs fail.

    Also, I was unable to install the Fax module, or the web based administration module. ( is that called RUI? I installed this, but it didn't seem to do anything) I also noticed that it saved a bunch of our settings, like ip info, registered owner, etc. It saved all this even though it was a completely new hard drive. Is there something I need to reset maybe?

    Anyone have any advice on what I could be missing, or maybe have some better firmware they could send me? My email address is dsammis AT gmail

    Thanks all.

    u mean u used 2220N Firmware on a 2200

    First off/ the Firmware for iR 2200 is not the same as the iR2220N
    the last Firmware for 2200 was ver.45.01 in 2006

    Firmware for 2220N is now up to ver.60.03


    please clarify what u used

      I used firmware labeled 2200N on a 2200. I tried the firmware at the top labeled 2200 but it did not work. It said the connected and selected devices did not match. Here's a screenshot.

        I see, that firmware support for 2200 C/N was in 2005
        Those settings remain intact w/this software update

        Check if a PS/PCL version is displayed in Service Mode after loading "N" version System Software.

        The machine can be pinged but cannot print. When checking the version of PS/PCL in Service Mode>Copier>Display>Version>PS/PCL there is a blank area where the version would normally be displayed.

        steps to be taken to help determine/resolve this problem:
        1.Make sure the bootrom is indeed an "N" type bootrom. Go to, Service Mode>Copier>Version>Boot-Rom, check to see if "N" is displayed next to the version.
        2. Try clearing MMI, Service Mode>Copier>Function>Clear>MMI>OK; power cycle the machine, and then check the PS/PCL version in Service Mode. Clearing MMI will delete all mailboxes, IP Address, E-Mail setup, etc.. Be sure to print these items prior to performing MMI Clear.
        3 If still not there, try to delete and re-register the System Software on the Service Support Tool

        4. Connect the Service Support Tool to the unit and Reformat the hard drive. Reload the "N" version System Software>followed by the RUI separately.
        5. If Service Mode>Copier>Version>PS/PCL still does not display the version, try another "N" type bootrom and test. If the version is displayed after replacing the bootrom, then the boot rom must be replaced.



        ****troubleshooting TCP/IP connectivity on a Windows network



        In a Windows TCP/IP environment, network configuration problems inevitably arise. Often the problem can be traced to an improperly configured TCP/IP setting, but finding the culprit can be difficult. Below are some steps to help determine where the problem exists:
        1. What stopped working? The client, server, or the printer? Ask around to learn if the outage is affecting others or just a single desktop.
        2. If the server stopped working, you should notice other co-workers with similar problems. If this is the case, focus on fixing the server.
        3. If a single client PC has stopped responding to the network, ask the user whether new software was just loaded or any recent changes have been made to the system, including the installation of service packs, new Internet software, video games, and so on.
        4. Check the physical network. The physical topology of your network is most prone to failure. In fact, most network problems are often due to Physical Layer failures (cabling, etc).
        5. Is it plugged in? Check all network cable connections. Start at the NIC. Is there a green link light? Check the wiring closet to see if someone "borrowed" the patch cable. Check the hub to see if the system is getting a link across the cable.
        6. If you don't have a cable tester, get one. Cabling is very susceptible to electricians, cleaning people and so on.
        7. Start PINGing. Windows TCP/IP has the PING command built in. In a typical network you have this order (client->gateway->server) or (client->gateway->internet). First, attempt to PING yourself from the Windows command prompt. Your local "loopback" address for such testing is 127.0.0.1.
        Example:
        C:\WINDOWS>PING 127.0.0.1
        PINGing 127.0.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
        Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
        Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
        Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=32
        Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=32
        PING statistics for 127.0.0.1:
        Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
        Approximate round trip times in milliseconds:
        Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms
        If you do not receive a successful PING from yourself, in Windows, try re-installing the TCP/IP protocol from the Network Control Panel or the Network Interface card drivers.

        8. If PINGing your loopback worked fine, then try PINGing someone who is on the same subnet as your PC. Be sure the target IP address being PINGed is a valid IP address assigned to a system; otherwise, you'll receive errors. Use the Start | Run | IPCONFIG command to learn your NT/2000 machine's IP configuration (use WINIPCFG with Windows 9x).

        WINDOWS SYSTEMS

        * IP Config provides valuable information about what network you are on, as well as your gateway address.


        Windows 2000

        9. If you can PING someone on your local subnet, move on to the next step. If you can't, you're probably experiencing a Physical Layer failure. The usual suspects are bad cables or a NIC gone bad (they do that sometimes). With loopback, you were just testing the inner workings of the TCP/IP protocol stack; with PINGing on your local subnet you tested for failure on the failing machine. Try replacing the network card and using a new patch cable.
        10. The next problem area is the gateway. Find the IP address of your gateway. You can find this in the IPCONFIG screen with NT systems (WINIPCFG for Windows 98).
        11. If you don't have a gateway configured, then one will not show up in WINIPCFG, and this is a problem if you are connecting to another network. In Windows, locate Start | Settings | Control Panel | Network | TCP/IP | Gateway and add your gateway. This is your local interface on your router.

        * PING this address; this will prove a solid connection from your PC to the gateway. If you have
        made it this far, the PC is working, the cabling is working, and the router (gateway) interface is
        working. You can skip to the next section.
        * However, if you receive no response from the gateway, and you have one configured, it's time to
        call the Network Administrator. Your router is improperly configured. It must have a local
        interface (IP address) on your subnet to listen to the traffic on your network. If there is no
        interface, have the router administrator add one. If it has one but has stopped working, it could
        mean you're experiencing a router failure, and others will be affected as well. Conversely, the
        router administrator may have loaded an old config; check with the administrator to make sure
        this isn't the case.
        12. The final step is through the gateway. PING something that is on the other side of the gateway. In an intranet, PING a printer on a remote subnet. On the Internet, PING Canon USA (128.11.96.121). If you do so successfully, you should not have a problem. If you can't get to a particular system in your network or on the Internet, that resource may not be available or the router's routing table may be mis-configured.

          If your 2200 used to be able to print, it was indeed needing the network version of the software, that is why you got bounced out from imaging the drive with the non N flavor of system software. Any 2200 that has an ethernet port in it requires the N version software. I suggest you try again, format the hard drive in the copier again using SST, and re-write the system software.

          Start with the N version Boot software, then the N version System software, then the copier version of Language and RUI. Make sure to select Overwrite in the lower left pane of the Tool's window if presented with that opportunity.

          A clean install performed correctly should take care of your issues...
