    so you can essentially downgrade a Smart Op machine to a regular and upgrade a normal 3503 to a z model simply with firmware and settings in the SP mode? YES.

    FROM THE SERVICE MANUAL:
    To upgrade a Normal to Smart Op - Update the "Normal Machine" with the SOP firmware first (SYSTEM FIRST - then the rest) --> Turn Off after update is done --> Turn back on and go into SP mode and set SP 5-748-101 and 5-748-201 to "1". --> Turn machine off --> Remove Normal Op and attach Smart OP --> Turn machine on --> Enter SP mode and change SP 5-752-001 to "1" --> exit out of "Copy SP" and go into "Scanner SP" and set Scanner SP 1-041-001 to "1" --> if fax is installed then go into "Fax SP" and set Fax SP 3-301-001 to "1" --> Turn machine off and back on.

    To downgrade a Smart Op to normal Op - your switching all the SP's back to "0" --> Turn off --> swap op panel --> update to normal op firmware. (have never downgraded one before, so proceed with "downgrading" at your own risk). They don't have anything in the SM about downgrading.

    Re: 3503z scanning issue

    So another machine is working fine on the same network point where the problem child refused to work?

    Now I wish you changed controllers because it sounds to me like it's a network security/MAC address issue, keep having machines drop off the VLAN at one of my sites and every bloomin time the network guys reckon "We don't implement MAC filtering blah blah blah" and everytime it comes back online after they flush the lists and assign the MAC to a new port but only after I literally have to show them that my device works perfectly fine if I connect it via Xover and the issue is definitely on their side not my machine

    Ricoh put out a service manual just for the SOP. rfg059499 in North America.

    Re: 3503z scanning issue

    SOLVED

    I don't know if I'm elated or pissed...

    I had the back covers off...and before I decided to start swapping boards, I gave it one last ditch effort to try firmware one last time...

    Shocker...firmware was the fix

    I did it differently this time however...instead of doing it one module at a time, as I did in the field with a fresh copy trying to reflash it....I reformatted my SD card, and downloaded just the "Package" onto it.

    I never update firmware using package, i don't like it, i like to look at each module and choose what to update....frustratingly though, I must have been missing something from my standard "romdata" folder, I'm not sure though however what it was. Either i was missing something or doing it the "package" way all at once had some effect. I'd say i just had incomplete romdata.

    Nothing worse than troubleshooting something with incorrect information, thinking i had upgraded firmware when i hadn't....

    Very anti-climatic, but just happy it's fixed. Thanks for all your guys input.

    Remember with any scanning or printing always start with all firmware and if using smart panel download from the correct area as not all the same as sp panel

    Grats for getting it going.

    I will also take this occasion to observe that on the newer machines (IMC, IM, etc) that in general, firmware packages are the only way to update them. There are some modules available individually, but not much. The reason given for this is they have had issues in the past that techs would not keep all the modules up to date on machines and it got to the point that some firmware modules would not play nice with other firmware modules if they were not all up to date. By using a package, it has supposedly been proven that the modules included in the package will play nice with each other.

    Can you ping the server from the machine?
    no SOP IS DIFFERENT FW
