Kyocera 2552

[Ditchman]

Firstly, I’m usually working on Sharp machines so excuse the lack of knowledge on this.

We have taken over a customer site which has four Kyocera 2552 machines. We have added two Utax 2506 to this site and in short, we want to modify the Kyocera machines so they can run on the Utax toner - one toner stock for all the machines.

I have modified the fins to allow the Utax toner to go into the Kyocera’s, also changed the Machine type to Utax but still getting a message to install toners.

Can anyone shed any light on it

Thanks

Never heard of UTAX. From what I gather, they're putting their name on a Kyocera machine? In any event, it's probablly the chip. I'd probably just use Kyocera toner for for that machine.

Most likely RIDF sensor some-where on the toner
Dont think it's anything you can do to fix
Buy the correct toner



There is probably a sim in engineering mode to change this but Kyocera will NEVER release the information to let you do it.
To prevent dealers from doing what your doing.

On earlier machines you needed to set the destination (badge) for Utax, rather than Gestetner or Monroe or Copystar or Kyocera.

On these same earlier machines destination was at U265
Setting:
Copystar 66
Kyocera Mita 2
Utax 11
Olivetti 12

No guarantees that this information is correct on recent machines.

Keep in mind that you'll need to change print drivers. The encryption code for used for Kyocera is different than the other destinations. Many of the driver features will not be available is the destination does not match the manufacturer driver.

No way !!
Change from U265 is not enough.
You need other sub pwbs with SN from TA/ UTAX.
e.g.
Taskalfa 2552 SN starts with W35xxxxx for KDE systems, with VPNxxxx for Philcopy, R5R for Olivetti .......
UTAX 2506ci SN starts with VFZ/ VFLxxxxx
Depended to first 3 digits system knows exactly the sales company and you can`t use toner from other sales company.

New sub pwbs you can`t order!

By the way,
UTAX is a trademark from TA Triumph-Adler. System sale only by dealers, no direct sale.

Hi, it is too long ago... We buy toner for Kyocera and try insert to Olivetti relabeled from KM-3035... Not possible - other gears
I think it is in their business interest - not to allow it in different ways. Chip and their location, locks, teeth, gears ...
