    [Jamming] Konica Minolta c554 Bypass tray jamming

    I recently upgraded from a bizhub c253 to this machine. I have been having jamming problems it shows that number 5 and number 11 is where the jam is normally. I am feeding it coverstock paper that is thinner than the max thickness that the machine can handle. My sister noticed that there is usually a click before it jams. Any suggestions or thoughts ?

    Thanks in advance!

      First, thank you for replying!
      The machine is not hooked up to the internet, it is on a router, but the router does not have access to the web. Is there any way to update the firmware with a USB stick?

        USB is how its done most of the time. Only way to update over network is if you host the firmware file yourself over http or ftp protocol. Firmware is normally only available to Konica Minolta techs that have login to the KM tech site unless you can get it by other means.

                Do you guys have a service manual for a c454e machine by any chance?

                      I managed to find the firmware, i just need to figure out how to install it. I tried looking for the service manual to enter the service mode, but it's currently not happening. I thought it would be the same entry keys as the c253s, but i guess not....thoughts?

                          To flash the machine you don't need to access service unless you need to know what firmware is currently loaded. This can be found also found on the Page Scope Web Interface. (IP address of the machine)
                          Format USB stick to fat32 and copy to the root of it the contents of the firmware. Then put it in the Service usb port on the side (rear under screwed plate) and switch the machine ON. Firmware ver will show on display and you either press start or leave it for it to download automatically.

                            Since you didn't go ape shit over the "sister" comment...
                            You should have a ZIP file for the firmware, extract, then open the folder, there should be 3 files within the extracted folder, leave the "maketar, and CW" files alone, open the other folder. This contains all the files needed for the update. Copy the entire contents of this folder and paste it on the root of a FAT32 formatted USB drive. Near the network jack on the MFP you will see a cover that is secured by one screw, remove this screw. Power off the MFP, insert your usb into this port and power on. After some time, 3-15 min, the update screen should appear. All choices are YES by default, you can either press start, or just let it go on it's own. When finished, power off, remove USB and power on. It will take a little longer than usual for the MFP to come to ready, so don't panic. Emujo
