Software to reload Fiery for C6500

[jmandassociates]

Where can I get the software to reload the Fiery for a BizHub C6500.

Which model Fiery? All the system software is available for download on the KM tech site...be prepared for a long wait...4Gb files. If you have the original document pack that came with the Fiery, a system software DVD is supplied. For the downloaded software, you need to have a dvd burner with ability to burn image(iso file).

It is a model PRO80-02. I don't have access to the Konica Minolta site so I can't download from there. My friend has access to it and tried finding it before and couldn't.

the IC303/305 etc are shipped with recovery dvd's check your pack that came with the device.

[buster68]

It must be an IC-408. The IC-303 has an EFI name of PRO80-S450. Your friend needs to search the KM tech site with the KM model names for the fiery, not EFI's naming scheme.

It's definately not the IC-408 because it is a stand alone one not embedded. I am pretty sure it is the IC-305. I looked and we definately don't have the origional DVD that came with it.

you will need the system dvd and the user dvd to do a complete re-install.

[buster68]

Since you don't have the original system software DVD that came with the IC-305, your only option is to have your friend download the iso file from the KM tech site(SSD). He'll need to go to drivers and software downloads, select "Color Products" in the first block, "IC-305" in the second block, and "System Code" in the third block. Version 2.0 is a 3.25GB download, and version 1.1 is a 3.19GB download. Then, of coarse, there are all the patches associated with each version to download and upload to the IC-305 after the software install.

This is an IC-303 Fiery S450 65C is this what you have? If s I can help you out.

[jmandassociates]

It is different it has the LCD on the top

[pepper38_cnd]

Then it must be an IC-305 my list doesn't show that for a C6500 but it looks like it will work.

[pepper38_cnd]

It looks like the IC303 and IC305 use the same firmware V1.11 and there is a V2 available for the IC305 do you know what version you had are still able to check it or is it dead?

[jmandassociates]

It is definately the IC-305. I don't know what version it had before. I don't think I can get the version from it because the LCD screen doesn't show anything on the screen. I can try connecting the external monitor to it again to see if it says the version there. Does it matter what version we load. Do we need to load one and then the next and then the patches. What order do you do it in.

[pepper38_cnd]

I'm not sure about that controller but many require a kit to upgrade from 1.11 to 2 if you load the wrong version ( your Bios doesn't support it ) you will get a License error and be in operable. This is not the end of the world you can reload the proper version. My advise if you are uncertain would be to load 1.11
I just realized that for some reason my web site is down right now, but when it comes up go there and download the system code for your controller I will Pm you with the password. the site is in my signature below.

Can I help you !

Hello,

I'm fiery specialist what is exactly your problem?
to upgrade an IC305 from V1.11 to V2.0 there is no licence required.

To have an image on monitor you need the FACI option, but, without this option you can see the boot, after that the screen goes black.

If you have any image during the boot maybe your problem is not the software but the power supply, hard disks ...

If you only want to upgrade your Fiery, Maybe an EFI dealer can help you

Please, let me know what's appends excatly.

Kind regards,

Twinax
