konica and ineo

[rrrohan]

Just inherited a punch of customers with ineo copiers

so far the drums from the compatible konica work ok.

curious about software switches and toners.

am yet to try but the fact drums worked is a good sign. Is the only difference the firmware?

Everything is identical inc the firmware.

If you change SW 10 to HEX 02 this will change it to a Konica Minolta then you could change the front cover logos.

I have tried on an ineo 654e and it was in 02 by default, and it is still develop

Maybe try HEX 00

print a network config sheet, see if it says generic or an actual model.
if generic you may need to set the Machine and Type correctly from a FW boot stick.

Why so much buzz about being KM or Develop? My Develop machines are perfectly running with KM firmware and consumables. I'm talking about 8 series and newer though.
So what fleet we are talking about?

[rrrohan]

im surprised develop still exist. didnt ricoh shut down there re badge brands? i dont really see the point in rebranding

[Blizzoo]

Analog machines still exist and do copies :)

Develop are going strong in the UK. Olivetti have pulled out of the region and KM and Develop have swooped all over the partner accounts they left behind

[rrrohan]

the only downside ive heard is they are always 1 generation behind, is that true

No atleast not over here i series machines available from both KM and Develop

Same here. They may cut some extra super-duper options from Develop price list that seems the only difference. I have both brands same models working side by side both running strong.
