Question:
Is it normal for the Kon.-Min. C250 to show "Image Stabalizing" often?
I notice if I open covers and close them it goes into this mode and you have to wait about a minute before you can make another copy.
Also, my cystomer stated this is also happenning in their middle of their print run. This is causing the machine to be too slow to get a copy run done.
:confused:

Yep................. Its the biggest gripe with that machine, you can change the span from 1 to 2 but to be fair it does not make a great deal of difference. Make sure there are no doors or window to close to the MFP as that has an effect as well.

This is part of the normal operation, to ensure copy quality is maintained. It may be worth checking if the latest firmware is installed.

Also, check the enviroment the machine is in. If it is near an open door or in a area that has a lot airflow the machine will adjust all the time for the enviroment.

Thanks Peter:
I think I am starting not to like this machine.

;) I have found some user issues associated with this. The message "add toner soon" is deceptive in that the TC level in the dev tank has detected low toner level, therefore the message. The customer wants to "squeeze" every gram of toner from the cartridge, so they run it until the TC level is so low it can't make another copy and quits. OK, add toner. Now, the developer is empty of toner, machine runs IS aginn, adds gram of toner, makes a copy, not enough, adds again, ditto, ditto ditto, ditto, until there is sufficient toner to run.
I have trained my users to change the toner as soon as the message appears. All but 1 are happy and do not complain about excessive IS. Also, FW upgrade to v3.03 is supposed to help. It defaults the IS cycle to span 2, which increases the number of prints between IS cycles.
