"050 - ACS mode can be changed to limit the amount of time that the color IUs run. When the new mode is selected, the printer works as though doing monochrome printing without driving the color IUs."

What should be the value?

How is life in Kharkiv? Hope all is well.

First there is Engine firmware dipSW 25 that is OFF for production priority and ON for parts life priority. In the OFF state the primary transfer rollers never retracts* for ACS copy or Auto Color for print if the job is mixed B\W and color. In the ON state it will retract if a given number of consecutive B/W pages was detected but only after the second set for copy mode. It needs to get the histogram data from the first set but it does not wait and starts printing immediately without knowing if the pages in the first set are B/W or color.

ACS needs 4 or more consecutive B/W pages to switch to K rotation only and always starts in CMYK rotation for the first 3 pages regardless if they where B/W. Base on 45ppm.

SW 50 HEX00 : Production priority (less print interruption)
SW 50 HEX01 : Parts life priority (more print interruption)

So Engine firmware dipSW 25 to ON and SW 50 HEX01. The machine will be slower with interruptions in the print job.

The machine is default set to Engine firmware dipSW 25 to OFF and SW50 does not seem to apply?!

Thanks, this is another good one to add to the list I needed it just last week.

This is important when it comes to drivers picking up all device options, paper tray information and accepting authentication account track information if current "Generic" drivers aren't available. We sell both, but sometimes Muratec doesn't release drivers fast enough for equipment they offer. We just installed a Muratec C5595i and had to do this so we could use the Konica C550i drivers. Muratec hadn't released them yet.

If you do this be aware that the IP address may change. I have done this several times on a machine that has been installed and each time the IP address changed to DHCP. I had to go into the network and manually enter the correct IP address

Here is another one to add. Software SW 24 Hex 01, prevents machine from printing a blank page on custom PCL print job because of a form feed command. Works on everything from C220\C452 series up to I series.
