Turning off EOL messages on screen? c654

[copier tech]

I have heard that converting to "e" model can cause issues (but all the discussions has been very vague). Have you done this successfully/ do you recommend doing this?

Yes i’ve had to do this on multiple non ‘e’ models mostly for customers who had SSL issues scanning etc.

No problems at all easy to reverse should you wish.

We are using a traded in C754 for our office machine.
FW is GBS-M0 (iOption or version Firmware UP however you want to call it) as we use GMail.
Life stop Softswitches are: 51=F0; 55=0C
S-0-C / Life Stop Settings: ALL are OFF
System2 / Unit Change / Near Life: All are set to Do Not Display

All Image Units, K drum & dev & Transfer Belt have 0% life showing
and there are NO on-screen Life messages showing

For sure the Copy Quality is bad but works fine for scanning & receiving faxes

Yeah, I already had those switches and settings setup like that on two different c654s. I either forgot that I did this for the switches (somewhat unlikely), was done by the prior company that owned these (unlikely due to meter counts) OR when you change the Life Stop Settings and Near Life those switches are modified (my current theory, but did not test this).

I also tried changing the unit change in System 2 to "service" from "user" for IU/tranf belt/fuser/etc that didn't change anything (as expected). One oddity however, is that I had to do this once, exit SM, then do it again to make the change stick each time...

You need a special FW to use Gmail on these? That seems dumb being that cx50s could do Gmail without special FW

This series of FW is installed to provide support for new TLS & SHA levels for the non "e" machines.
As far as I know Gmail & Office365 do not work without this FW (unless you decrease gmail security to use TLS 1.0)
