urgently looking for US firmware for P3055dn

[Bluebrain]

Hi guys,

I'm from Germany.
My boss asked me to buy 3 new printers. I went with the Kyocera Ecosys P3055DN.

My big problem now is, that after some time it enters a deep sleep/energy saving mode and it takes a lot of time to wake/warm up meanwhile the customer has to wait for his invoice to get printed, which is very anoying.
Now my boss makes me responsible for this mistake.

This energy saving behavior cannot be turned of for EU devices but for US.
(this information was hidden deep inside the manual, which I did not notice before buying)

Can someone PLEASE provide me with the US firmware for the P3055dn?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi,
Is this not "enough"?

Make sure Network sleep rule is set to on.

Most, if not all printers when waking from sleep will not print out as fast as if they were in a 'ready state' all will do some sort of warm up then calibration etc.

There are a few reasons why your first copy out time is delayed after the machine goes to sleep this is the main one you can set.

Automatic drum surface refreshing

Purpose: To prevent bleeding of the output image when the printer's operating environment is one of high humidity. Method1. Enter the Service Setting menu.2. Select [Auto Drum Refresh] using the cursor up/down keys.3. Press the OK key.4. Select the desire mode (Off/Short/Standard/Long) using the cursor up/down keys.5. Press the OK key. The new value is set

Or to disable sleep completely see attached below.

I have remote access to this specific model and just tested !R! FRPO N5, 0; EXIT; does nothing, but !R! FRPO N5, 1 to 120; EXIT; works just fine. I guess this has something to do with Country code (U6).

Re: urgently looking for US firmware for P3055dn

Thanks for your help so far.

It's about the "Quick Recovery Mode" which is not available on European models:

If the firmware is the same, how are the US and EU models differentiated?
There are no region/country settings. At least I coun't find it.

Interesting. Maybe because the US have 110v Europe have 240v so the power supply etc not the same.

The firmware is the same worldwide.

So should it be set to on or off?
You wrote "on", but marked "off" in the settings screenshot?

My current settings are:

Sorry my bad. This should be set to Off. But this won't help much in your case.

Like You, I'm also interested in the possibility to change region/destination.

I doubt it "reads" the power supply. But yes, it's theoretically possible. I have never seen a device doing that.
There are many ways, this could be determinated by the firmware: via jumper, switch, hidden settings, cartridge chip, ...

I guess this has something to do with Country code (U6).

What do you mean with "country code (U6)? Is "U6" a setting or so? Can you tell me more about this?

This is one of Firmware reprogram settings.

Grab a full service manual online - it all there.

Re: urgently looking for US firmware for P3055dn

The FRPO U6 setting is only for character encoding.
In a German manual it's more clearly stated: "Contry code ((Standard-) Symbolzeichensatz)" = "default character set"

I tried it anyway. Didn't make any difference.

I also tried to enable the sleep mode type by "Multi-Set" XML config file.
Everthing was set, but this setting returned the error "not supported by target".

I am missing these settings:

"Sleep Timer" is an other timer.
Our printers shut off the heating element already after 10-15 minutes and then it takes ~30+ Sek. for the first page.

But I found an interesting other FRPO setting:

Heater ON/OFF switch Y2
0: Heater OFF at the time of "Ready"
1: Heater ON at the time of "Ready"

Sorry to disappoint you but heater in this case is Drum heater. Used in a high humidity environment. Has nothing to do with warm up time.

Oh
But thanks for the information.

Is it possible that the region is set by the chip on the toner cartridges?
