I would love to know what all the software switch settings do. Does anyone have a more or less definitive list of all the standard Konica Software switch meaning for Technician's quick reference? Depending on the model/service manual the switch info available is very meager.

To get this started see the 8 series switch settings below for example:

Switch 10 Hex 2 will make a Generic (Muratec) a Konica. This is important when it comes to drivers picking up all device options, paper tray information and accepting authentication account track information if current "Generic" drivers aren't available. We sell both, but sometimes Muratec doesn't release drivers fast enough for equipment they offer. We just installed a Muratec C5595i and had to do this so we could use the Konica C550i drivers. Muratec hadn't released them yet.

A lot of the time I can get much more detailed information by searching through the All Active Solutions document(s). Search for HEX, DIP, software switch, etc.

Sadly, I do not have it for this model or I would have posted my findings (would be nice to have if someone is in a giving mood). :rolleyes:

Could someone confirm all active solutions is still a thing on the newer models.It was still a thing a couple months ago. They were getting updated nearly daily and I'd download all the new ones for all the current machines about once a month but it's been a couple months since I last did it. I'd much rather have a pdf file on my phone vs. having to try and get a signal in some of the small towns I go to with no cell service. I've been that way since the solutions pdf files started and probably won't change.

I can confirm they are still going strong in the US anyway. Just looked up a random model from each of the series over the last few years, and found an All Solutions file for each model I looked up: C552, 232, C224e, C258, C659, and a C300i. All of them looked as if they had been updated within the last couple weeks, most were within the last week.

Model number? 10 on Konicas depending on which bit switch - Hex 00 is probably to specify time zone settings and Hex 20 for how many fax reception rings before answering.

Just had a second-hand C308, that every time I did anything in the Utility Mode I had to put the admin password in and after some digging came across this.


Password Protect The Utility Button

It is now possible to password protect the Utility Button on the Main Screen of the MFP.

This is useful in Multi User Environments to prevent unauthorised access to Utility, User Settings, Device Information, One Touch/ User Box Registration, Consumable Life, Banner Printing, Remote Panel Operation and so on.

With this set, the User will be prompted for a password when pressing the Utility Button - (The Password is the same as the Password used to access the Admin Mode).

Setting Procedure:

Access Tech Rep / System 2 / Software SW Setting:

Password protect access to Utility mode.
Software SW No.200 Hex 00 : Disabled (default)
Software SW No.200 Hex 20 : Enabled

This SW is available for the following models:


All A3 "E series" devices (Must be on latest Firmware and Function Version)
All A3 7 and 8 Series Devices

**Note - None e series devices are NOT supported**


Related Topic: Password protect the User Settings Menu
Should you wish to just protect the User Settings Menu, this can be done by setting SW 71 to Hex 08

DHCP option 81: Client Fully Qualified Domain Name – this option allows to perform automatic update of the DNS records associated to the client, mainly the A and PTR. In the option we can specify whether the client or the server will update the records and the FQDN associated to the client. It is defined in the RFC4702 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4702)

Olivetti is set to 00, Konica is 02. Guess it is just under generic like Muratec as progoffice said.

True this is very helpful to compare if some soft switches are modified from default values.
The question is what non service manual listed switches do. Very complex question though, it heavily depends on machine model, function version and firmware level.

How is life in Kharkiv? Hope all is well.

First there is Engine firmware dipSW 25 that is OFF for production priority and ON for parts life priority. In the OFF state the primary transfer rollers never retracts* for ACS copy or Auto Color for print if the job is mixed B\W and color. In the ON state it will retract if a given number of consecutive B/W pages was detected but only after the second set for copy mode. It needs to get the histogram data from the first set but it does not wait and starts printing immediately without knowing if the pages in the first set are B/W or color.

ACS needs 4 or more consecutive B/W pages to switch to K rotation only and always starts in CMYK rotation for the first 3 pages regardless if they where B/W. Base on 45ppm.

SW 50 HEX00 : Production priority (less print interruption)
SW 50 HEX01 : Parts life priority (more print interruption)

So Engine firmware dipSW 25 to ON and SW 50 HEX01. The machine will be slower with interruptions in the print job.


The machine is default set to Engine firmware dipSW 25 to OFF and SW50 does not seem to apply?!

Switch 10 Hex 2 will make a Generic (Muratec) a Konica. This is important when it comes to drivers picking up all device options, paper tray information and accepting authentication account track information if current "Generic" drivers aren't available. We sell both, but sometimes Muratec doesn't release drivers fast enough for equipment they offer. We just installed a Muratec C5595i and had to do this so we could use the Konica C550i drivers. Muratec hadn't released them yet.


If you do this be aware that the IP address may change. I have done this several times on a machine that has been installed and each time the IP address changed to DHCP. I had to go into the network and manually enter the correct IP address
