Solution ID 6 Solution Usage TAUS0656888EN*
Description
When printing a calibration page from ColorWise Pro tools or the MFP LCD, the page does not print. There is nomessage on the printer orcontroller that
indicates the job was sent.
Solution
PROBABLE CAUSES:
1. There is a mismatch between the default paper media settings on the IC-303 and the paper drawer settings on the engine.
The IC-303 ships with default paper settings of Plain, White, 64-74. If the paper drawer of theengine is not set to these same settings, the job will not print
until the drawer is configured to match these settings. There will not be an indication on the IC-303 panel and the job will also not show up in the job list on the
engine. The only place that the problem can be observed from is Command WorkStation.
To have all jobs print, based on the drawer settings by default, enter the IC-303 "Launch Configure" through a web browser and edit the PS settings for paper
type "PDL => PS". Paper weight should be set to "Printers Default".
Note :When printing an IC-303configuration page, the paper weight will show as "0" for this setting.

2. Incorrect DipSW setting.
Verify that DipSW 24-2 is set to "0".

Solution ID 3 Solution Usage TAUS1000160EN*
Description
When printing multiple print jobs, jobs will back up in the machines queue causing the machine to print slow or lock up.
Solution
When the machine is printing multiple print jobs, the machine will cycle between print jobs. This causes the machine to slow down and if the queue fills up
enough, it could lock up the machine.

The reason the machine cycles between print jobs is because the machine is checking which printer language (PCL or PS) the next print job is using. To stop
this from happening, you have to tell the machine which PDL to use.To accomplish this, please perform the following:


1. Utility
2. User Settings
3. Printer Settings
4. Basic Settings
5. PDL Settings
6. Choose PS or PCL, depending on what driver is being used.

For the Bizhub 200/250/350/222/282/362 follow these steps.


1. Utility
2. Printer Settings
3. PDL Set

Note: All computers that are printing to this machine will have to use the same printerlanguage as what the machine has defaulted to (PCL or PS).

Solution
CAUSE:It has been determined thatthe IC-408 Fierypatch 1-15RA85is causing this issue.This patch may have been installed during arecent Fieryauto
update.EFI has removed this patch from its auto update servers as of 3/3/2010, so this issue should not occur via auto updates after this date.
Note : IC-303 & IC-305 are not affected by this.

SOLUTION:Print a Fieryconfiguration page and check the installed patch list. If patch 1-15RA85 is listed then IC-408 Fierysystem software needs to be
reloaded.

Solution ID 2 Solution Usage TAUS0657282EN*
Description
Printing appears to be very slow and the controller has high disk and CPU activity.
Solution
CAUSE: Secure Eraseis enabled.

SOLUTION: Secure Erase is enabled insetup under Server => J obs. If enabled, it will securely erase all print jobs by rewriting over the data 3 times. This
requires constant disk access and CPU utilization and will significantly slow down the printing capabilities of the controller.
Secure Erase is required in government or other environments that handle sensitive orconfidential material.

Description
When installing system code on an IC-303, the controller is booted from the system DVD, but nothing appears to install and the front LCD panel just displays
the Fierylogo.
Solution
CAUSE: The FACI option is enabled on the IC-303.

SOLUTION: If the FACI option is enable on the IC-303, it is assumed that a monitor, keyboard and mouse is also connected. The FACI option disables the
front panel messages that would normally be displayed as part of setup and displays them on the external monitor. The monitor, keyboard and mouse are
required items to install and reinstall system code on a FACI-enabled IC-303. Without these items being attached, no response can be made to the
installation program.

When installing a new IC-303, nothing can be setup from the front panel of the controller. Howis the controller configured?
Solution
The IC-303 is configured using 2 different methods.
1. After the controller has initialized completely and is connected to the MFP, a controller button will be available under the Machine settings on theMFP LCD
panel. This button will allow basic funtions to be configured under setup. Server Name, system Date/Time, TCP/IP settings, Ethernet speed, enabling Remote
Desktop and Enabling web services are the basic functions that can be configured.
Ensure that Web services are enabled as the remainder of the configuration will have to be done from the web-based configure utility.

2. After a TCP/IP address has been configured and Web services are enabled, launch configure from a Web browser and configure the remaining settings on
the IC-303.

Description
Indentations are being seen on 12x18 or 13x19 paper at the 11-inch mark after running mostly 8.5x11 paper.
Solution
CAUSE:These marks are caused by wear on the fuser belt. It occurs when most of the paper printed is 11" followed by changing to larger paper.

SOLUTION: A conversion kit is available to enable customers in production print environments to exchange the fusing unit without the need for a technician.
This kit will allow the fusing unit to be removed by the end user and swapped with another.Please see attached Bulletin Number 6756 for additional details. To
viewthe PDF, Adobe Readermust be installed. Adobe Readercan be downloaded for free from the Adobeweb site at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html .
IMPORTANT :
The only version of the CRU waiver form which is acceptable is the one which is attached to the bulletin. The technician should order the fuser kit and then

Description
Small blank area appears or color registration error is visible with text or fine lines.
Solution
CAUSE: When using heavy paper (256gsm or more) or thick paper, the intermediate transfer belt rotation speed is changed when the paper passes the 2nd
transfer unit.It causes the color registration error at the first transfer where the toner on the photoconductor drum is transferred to the intermediate transfer
belt.The color registration error appearing at thefirst position depends on the distance between the 2nd transfer roller and drum for each color (see attached
file).
From 495mm of the 1st sheet or from the 2nd sheet, the color registration error of each color overlaps and is visible for all colors.

SOLUTION: To reduce the intermediate transfer belt speed change, increase the line speed:
1. From COPY or MACHINE screen, select [Paper Setting].
2.Select arbitrary tray.Then select [Change].
3.At the [Weight], select the lighter weight than paper actually used. Asa rough indication, 1/1 speed=105gsm or less and2/3 speed for 106 to 209 gsm.
If the above setting change is performed, fusing time is reduced and fusing failure may occur.The setting should be used carefully.

Iffusing failure occurs after trying the above, change the fusing temperature:
1. From COPY or MACHINE screen, select [Paper Setting].
2. Select arbitrary tray. Then select [Change].
3. Select [Process Adj.] then press [Next] button. For the Upper Roller Temperature (Print) and Lower Roller Temperature (Print), then enter larger value.
If the fusing roller temperature is changed, paper turns wavy or blisters oncoated paper may occur.Additionally, depending on the paper, the registration error
cannot be solved completely.If the improvement level is not enough, please request that the customeruses another paper type.

How to create a new substitute color inColorWise Pro Tools.
Solution
Substitute color works with color recipes in RGB and CMYK.It does not use the Pantonespot color numbers, but you can look up the recipe.

You will need to know the color recipe that you want to substitute. Pitstop inspector or another program can measure color recipes.

Record the recipe values for CMYK or the RGB values.
Open Command WorkStation.
Select ColorWise Pro Tools.
Select Manage Color.
Select Spot-Onfrom the ColorWise Pro Tools window.
From the Select Output Profile menu, access the Edit spot colors for this output profile pull-down menu and choose the current default output profile.
The Select Output Profile window opens. (Fiery 65-CKM).
The Spot On menu appears.
From the Edit menu, choose New Substitute Group.
The new substitute group appears with the default name Untitled1.
Double-click on the Untitled1 and rename it.
Highlight the renamed color group.
From the Edit menu, select New Substitute Color.
In the Add Substitute Color menu, select RGB (0-100%) or CMYK (0-100%) and enter the values from the recipe that you wanted to substitute.
In Tolerance, click the radio button next to Large (small +/- .25, Large +/- .50), and click OK.
The new substitute color now appears in the library list.
Default CMYK values appear to the right of the RGB recipe. The strength of the Spot-On feature results in its ability to calculate CMYK conversion values in
order to establish more accurate color matching in print.
Highlight the new substitute color in the library list and form the Edit menu choose Color Search.

Spot-On offers several ways to create alternate color recipes for CMYK conversion:
1. Printing patches of the target color and surrounding neighbors to perform a visual evaluation of the closet color match from the printed sheet. This is a
streamlined and efficient process.
2. Using a measurement instrument, such as the EFI ES-1000, to obtain an accurate measurement from an existing ink color sample.

Description
How black and white versus color increment the machine counters.
Solution
The reason that many ofthe color printers will count a page as color, even though the page content looks like Black and White or Gray, is that many Office
applications create or use graphics using RGB data. Even though a graphic may be black, it uses RGB values of 0-0-0 to achieve black or will use equal
values of RGB to represent gray. As far asa Konica Minoltaprinter is concerned, this is color information and will therefore count the page as a color page.
This scenario applies to applications like MicrosoftOfficeWord, Excel and Publisher, to name a few. Higher end applications like Adobe
PageMaker/InDesign/Illustratorand Quarktypically use the CMYK color space.
A job can consist of just K (Black), with no CMY components. This will print as just black. If printing a gray shade from one of these applications, a halftone
screen would have to be used using just K or using equal values of CMYK, which would count as color.
Note : If the files have been converted to a PDF, Acrobat6 and7 Pro have built-in Preflighting tools under the Advanced menu. Preflighting the
document will provide detail of what color components each graphic is composed. Other add-ons, such as EnfocusPitStop Professional will also provide the
same capabilities from within Acrobat.

How to scan when using the CreoIC-301 (bizhub PRO C500 only) or IC-304/Plus
TheRemote Scan utility must be loaded on a workstation or thecontroller to utilize scanning on the controller(s). This utility allows for the creation of scan
boxes on theMFP and to retrieve scans from those boxes. Scanning is performed on theprinter/copier using the scan to HDD option from the LCD panel.
Please refer to the attached document for more detail.To viewthe PDF, Adobe Readermust be installed. Adobe Readercan be downloaded for free from
the Adobeweb site at: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html .

How to create and perform Scan to E-mail on the CreoIC-304 version 2
To create and perform scan to E-mail on the CreoIC-304 version 2, perform the following:
1.From the Creoworkstation select File, Preferences and then Mail Services.
2.Enter the Outgoing Mail Server TCP/IP address (preferred) or the E-mail Server Name.
3.Enter the Attachment Max Size.
4.Enter a valid Administrator E-mail Address. Set it for Anonymous or Basic (authentication User ID and Password).
Note :After performing the above, the bizhub PRO C6500 Scan tab should set up a Box called IC-304 E-mail. Scan something to this box. You will need the
Remote Scan Application loaded on a workstation in order to retrieve the scanned image and to perform the Scan to E-mail.
5. Launch the Remote Scan Application.
6. Type in the Server Name or TCP/IP address and thenpress the Connect button.
7. Select the Scan box IC-304 (or one that you have already created and scanned to). Highlight the scanned file andpress the Send button.
8.Enter the From: and To: E-mail address, Subject and Text if desired and hit the Send button.
Note : If you getonly the URL link and have selected Send Scan as Attachment, the Attachment Max Size (Step 3) needs to be increased.

Unable to create scan boxes using Remote Scan software. The scan boxes do not appear at the Scan/HDD
CAUSE: The Creohas been joined to the customer domain or has been signed-on toan account other than the operator account.

SOLUTION: Log onto the Creolocally using the default account ( operator ) and password ( colorserver ).

Unable to scan to FTP or E-mail when using an IC-301 controller (bizhub PRO C500 only)
CAUSE: These options are not available when using an IC-301. Only a Fierycontroller will provide these scanning options.
SOLUTION: Scanning will need to be performed using the Remote Scan utility (provided on the User CD). Once the scans are retrieved with this utility, the
scans can then be manually E-mailedor moved to an FTP site.

Hard copy samples of issue, with the issue identified/highlighted/circled.
Hard copy samples of what the copies should look like (if possible).
Engine test prints of gradations, halftones at different densities levels, 255, 100, 80, 40.
Mixed halftones at different density levels (see attached Mixed halftones document for additional information).
All machine management and adjustment list printouts.
If relevant, Fieryconfiguration page, PostScript and or PCL test page.
If relevant, CREOconfiguration page.
Operating System versions (Service packs, 32-bit or 64-bit, etc.), application versions (e.g., AdobeAcrobatPro 8.13), driver versions.
A print to file. PCL or PostScript test print file. This file must have been tested using an LPR command to copy to the MFP and the reported failure observed
prior to sending to SSD or ASG.
If applicable, an archive jobfrom the Fierywith rasters (RIPped data). This archive should have been tested and verified to contain the reported failure. The
archive folder and associated files must be zipped before sending or placed directly on a CD or DVD.
If applicable, an archivefrom the CREOthat also contains the rasters (RIPped data)
The original application file. If the problem is with Quarkor InDesign, we need the file and all of its assets (fonts, linked graphics, etc.). Use the feature
Select Package within the application for Portability (see attached InDesign file document for additional information). Fill out the wizard, put in the associated
ticket number and special instructions of how the job was set up (detailed, including screen shots if available) and a folder name (usually of the ticket number
and or name of the account). Archive the files into a Folder or burn it from the Macintosh. These files will typically be too large to attach to a ticket or to

2. If the files were created on a Macintoshsystem the CD/disk needs to be burned on the Macintoshfor the files to be good. You cannot take the files from
the Macintoshand store them on a USB drive then burn a CD on a MicrosoftWindows machine.They are not portable using that method and will be
useless when burned. If you must burn them on a MicrosoftWindows machine you have to use the following method to make them portable.
a. All the files must be saved/stored in the same folder on the Macintosh.
b. You must use the"Compress " function on the Macintoshto save all of the files in the folder in a zipped file format. This must be done to make them
portable.
c. Once this is done then you can then burn them on a MicrosoftWindows PC.
Rather than going through the additional steps it is easier to burn them on the Macintoshto start with.

Thick Paper BK mode setting.
Solution
Thick Paper BK mode setting is to reduce banding that occurs 230mm in from the lead edge when printing halftone images with thick paper stock.
Thick Paper BK Mode engages the first transfer rollers on each YMC colors and operates in color mode during printing in B/W mode.
Notes :
1. Use only for thick paper on whichbanding occurs.
2. Sinceprinting in B/W mode operates in color mode, the total counter counts in B/W and the maintenance counter counts in color. It does not develop YMC,
but the life of the developer is shortened since it agitates the developing unit.
3.Concerningcolor printing, after printing more than 1000 sheets in this mode toner scattering or blurred color image may occur.

To enable Thick Paper BK mode, perform the following:
1.Press the Utility button on theMFP and select #3 Machine Admin. Setting.
2. Select #6 Common Settings.
3. Pressthe Next button and select Thick Paper BK mode to ON.

How to install an indicator light system (Status indicator light).
Solution
Konica Minolta does not supply an indicator light system. However, one can be purchased and installed. The following information is needed:
Patlite Corporation www.patlite.com/
Patlite LES-402A-RYGB (four light pole mounted system)
Patlite SZ-012 Mounting Bracket (needed to mount the light pole to the machine)
The following connectors are needed to connect the Light Pole Wiring to the machine:
Tyco Electronics AMP www.tycoelectronics.com/
Connector (concave) - 179228-6 (CRIMP TYPE II RECPT HSG)
Connector (convex) - 292254-6 (CT RELAY HDR ASSY 6P NAT)
Pins (6 needed) - 179518-1
Connector packed in installation kit has 7 wires. Only six are usedfor the light bar. Pin 1 is marked in the plastic of the connector with the black wires
attached;please look closely.
The wires on the machine plug side of the connector are numbered in reverse (pin 1 on the indicator light side of the connector is attached to pin 6 of the
machine side). Keep this in mind when consulting themachine schematics and the Service Manual sectionfor connecting the indicator light.
Connector pins below refer to the harness with the black wires that comes in the kit with the light.


Pin 1 is not used (would be a ground but our system switches to ground)

Pin 2 connected to the BLACK wire in the light harness(+24 volt power lead)

Pin 3 is connected to the ORANGE wire in the light harness and causes the AMBER light to come on. This happens when the machine is out of toner.

Pin 4 is connected to the RED wire in the light harness and causes the RED light to come on. This happens when there is a machine paper jam or when
there is a paper mismatch from the Fierycontroller and the Detail Check button comes on requiring customer interaction.

Pin 5 is connected to the GREEN wire in the light harness and causes the GREEN light to come on. This happens when the machine is operating normally
(making copies). The BLUE light is also on at this time.

Pin 6 is connected to the BLUE wire in the light harness and causes the BLUE light to come on. This happens when the machine is on and ready to copy,
print or scan but not actually running. The BLUE light is also on with the GREEN light when the machine is operating and making copies.
Note : This is a four-light system that indicates Ready, Operating, Low toner, and J am.The wiring for the light system can be found in the Service
Manual.Please see attachments for reference. To view a PDF, Adobe Readermust be installed. Adobe Readercan be downloaded for free from the

Notes :
a.The DU-102B drum (polished) was developed to counteract the white spots that were caused by toner adhering to the black drum surface. The DU-102B
drum should only be used for the black station, although in a pinch it can be used in any station. The bizhub PRO C6501 ships with the DU-102B drum
installed in the black station.

Can the Pixel Ratio data be used to determine the toner usage or coverage?
Solution
The pixel ratio data cannot be used to determine the toner usage or coverage.

The pixel ratio data reported on the list is simply referential data and it is not designed for accounting purpose.The intentedpurpose of this data is to check
rough machine usage conditions (low coverage or high coverage). Therefore,KMBS does not recommendusing the pixel ratio data for accounting purpose.

The pixel ratio is calculated from the actualarea written bythe write unitand the total paper area, based on A4 size.

The calculation formula is as follows: Pixel ratio =actually written area for the period / total paper area for the period (#of sheets x A4 area).

The total paper area in the above formula, however, is always calculated using A4 sizem regardless of the actualpaper size used. (One sheet of legal, letter,
A3,or A5 paper is counted as 1 sheet of A4.) The calculationis not affected by any machine setting or market destination. The pixel ratio for an A3
whole-area-solid image is calculated as 200%. If a customer prints many A3 whole-area-solids, the pixel ratio exceeds 100%.

In addition,the pixel ratio datadoes not reflect the actual amount of toner attachedper dot.

ENERGY STAR compliance.
Solution
The ENERGY STAR Program has been established to encourage the widespread and voluntary use of energy efficient technologies that reduce energy
consumption and prevent pollution. As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Konica Minolta has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for
energy efficiency, based on the following features.


Auto Low Power -This function conserves energy by lowering the set temperature of the fixing unit. In the standard setting, Auto Low Power operates
automatically when 15 minutes have elapsed after completion of the last copy, with theMFP remaining in the ready to copy state during that time. The time
period for the Auto Low Power function can be set for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes, or 240 minutes.

Automatic Shut-Off -This function achieves further energy conservation by partially turning the power supply OFF, thereby reducing energy consumption to
7.9W or less. In the standard setting, Automatic Shut-Off follows Auto Low Power, operating automatically when 90 minutes have elapsed after completion of
the last copy, with theMFP remaining in the ready to copy state during that time. The time period for the Automatic Shut-Off function can be set for 30 minutes,
60 minutes, 90 minutes, 120 minutes or 240 minutes.

Solution
Please be aware of thechangesto PM kits.

Whereas the bizhub PRO C6500/C5500 200K PM kit included all components in the 100K PM kit, this is NOT the case with the PM kits for the bizhub PRO
C6501/C5501.The 200K PM kit (Item #DC651PM200), PM kit-A(Item #DC56X001) and PM kit-B (Item #DC65X002) DO NOT include any 100K PM
components, therefore, a new 100K PM Kit (Item #DC651PM100) should be ordered for each and every bizhub PRO C6501/C6501P/C5501 PM.For example,
a 200K PM would require both a 200K PM Kit and a 100K PM Kit.

When ordering 100K PM kits, be aware that, due to a change in the Charging Corona for the new models, 100K PM kits are NOT cross-compatible between
the bizhub PRO C6500 and bizhub PRO C6501 series.

The bizhub PRO C6500 series 100K PM kit (Item #DC65PM100) is for the bizhub PRO C6500, C6500P and C5500 ONLY.
The bizhub PRO C6501 series 100K PM kit (Item #DC651PM100) is for the bizhub PRO C6501, C6501P and C5501 ONLY.

What is the recommended MD5 checker?
Solution
Therecommended MD5 checker is HkSFV (download attached file).
HkSFV uses CRC-32 and MD5 technology to validate the integrity of files that you have downloaded or moved through a potentially unstable medium (burnt
to CD, transferred over the Internet/LAN). HkSFV can verify your files in seconds and is compatible with Win-SFV and md5sum.
HkSFV is the simple, easy and most automatic application to create or check SFV and MD5 files.
What is an SFV?
An SFV file is a tiny list of files and CRCs, which allow you to check to see if the files you have downloaded are exactly what you are expecting. The CRC
algorithm used in SFV files allows you to see if the file you have has been changed, even a single byte, since the SFV file was created.
What is an MD5?
MD5 did not exist until somewhat recently, as md5sum is a popular UNIX format similar to SFV and UNIX does not use file extensions the way Microsoft
Windows-based systems do. MD5 uses the md5 algorithm to computechecksums, rather than the CRC-32method used by SFV. The md5 algorithm is almost
as fast as CRC-32, but it is much more accurate at detecting changes in files.
Some key features of HkSFV:

DF-319/DF-603/DF-606/DF-609, pages are being scanned multiple times after jamming/misfeeding with accompanying"Reload originals" message. If a
jam/misfeed occurs, the machineindicates to reload originals. After originals have been reloaded and Start is pressed, the machine starts scanning again and
adds the reloaded pages to the document as well as the previously scanned pages.
Solution
CAUSE: Improper reloading of originals. If the machine misfeeds an original it will then indicate to reload originals, but if it jams past the feeder it will indicate
where the jammed sheets are and after jammed sheets are removed it will indicate how many originals need to be reloaded.

SOLUTION:If a misfeed occurs, the message to reload originals means to reseat the originals remaining in the feed tray, NOT add all the originals from
output tray back into feeder.If thedocument feederjams after the feeder it will indicate clear the indicated sheets, thento reload the number of originals that
have not yet been scanned.For example, if 3 sheets are indicated as jammed in thepaper pathand machine indicates to reload 2 originals. the first 2 sheets in
theDF paper pathstarting from just past the feed section should be reloaded and the third sheet (closest to output) should be set in the output tray as it has

Solution
PROBABLE CAUSES:
1.Too much toner on page when printing with high toner coverage. There is a very high toner coveragewith the papersometimes wrapping around the fuser
roller and sticking thus causing the jam.
In the printer driver, select TONER REDUCTION which islocated under the IMAGE tab.

2. Damaged linkage for paper exit gate or failed paper exit solenoid SD4. The jam occurs when duplexing either face up or face down. Paper stops in the
inversion section at reverse roller/Lw before entering the ADU section. All motors and sensors test good in state confirmation mode.
Test SD4 in state confirmation mode 80-0. Repair linkage (p/n 65AA 4928 0) or replace SD4 (p/n 65AA R704 00) if deemed necessary.

3. Broken Locking Cam.

Solution
PROBABLE CAUSES:
1.The folding pass-through sensor (PS26) does not turn OFF within a specified period of time after it turns ON.
Remove jammed paper in the FS/main body, if any. Check the operation of the sensor PS26 (FS-607 PartsManual, STACKER, page 18, p/n 08AA 8551 2),
actuator (p/n 13QE 4828 0) and actuator tension spring (p/n 13QJ 4354 0) in the I/O state confirmation mode, code 72-45, for proper operation. Replace parts
as necessary.

2. High toner coveragecreates anadhesive effect causing paper to stick to the folding knife. This usually occurs when Half-folding two sheets; first sheet
foldsthen exitsand the second sheet stays in thefolding rollers.
Lower the fuser temperatureto lessen the chance that paperadhere to folding knife.

Description
Printing from any driver using an AdobeCS3 Suite application is very slow. The print job maycomplete quickly, but the application indicates that it is still
printing for a long period after the actual completion. The application is unavailable to perform any other tasks during this period.
Solution
CAUSE: A compatibility issue between a native Intelapplication, like AdobeCS3 Suite applications and the IntelversionMacintoshOS 10.4x.

SOLUTION: The best workaround for this issue is to hide the MacintoshDOCK. The problem appears to be related to how the application interacts with the
DOCK while it is visible. Auto-hiding theDOCK through preferences will correct this printing deficiency. Adobeand Applehave not officially acknowledged
this problem, even though it affects printing using any print driver.

Description
In MicrosoftPublisher 2002/2003, publications/records are not individually collated and stapled when duplexing and using the Mail Merge feature.
Solution
CAUSE: Registry edit required.
WARNING : In MicrosoftWindows, system configuration information is centrally located in the registry. While this simplifies the administration of a
computer or network, one incorrect edit to the registry can disable the operating system. The following list provides some best practices for using the registry
and Registry Editor safely:

Before making changes to the registry, make a backup copy.
Back up the registry by using a program such as Backup. After making changes to the registry, create an Automated System Recovery (ASR) disk. For
troubleshooting purposes, keep a list of the changes you make to the registry. For more information, see System State data.
Do not replace the MicrosoftWindows registry with the registry of another version of the MicrosoftWindows or MicrosoftWindows NT-type operating
systems.
Use reliable tools and programs other than Registry Editor to edit the registry.
Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage the system. Use tools and programs that provide safer methods for editing the registry.
Never leave Registry Editor running unattended.
Konica Minolta is not responsible for any system errors that may result from using a registry editor incorrectly.
SOLUTION: MicrosoftPublisher can be enabled to individually collate, staple and duplex publications/records when using the Mail Merge feature of
Publisher through a registry edit. This can be done either manually or by a script.
To manually edit the registry
Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start, click Run, type regedit , and then click OK. Go to:
1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\ \Publisher\Printing
2. Right-click on the Printing folder, select New => String Value.
2. Create new "string value" called: NumberOfRecordsPerBatch
3. Double-click and set the Value Data to 1 . Instead of grouping records together into groups of 10to send to the printer (Publisher default), the records are
now sent in groups of 1 (i.e., each document is sent separately).
Note : A value for this size setting can be set between 0 and 99999.
To update the registry "automatically" from a script
1. Download the scriptfrom http://ed.mvps.org/20031Rec.reg and save the REG file to the Desktop (script is also attached in case the URL cannot be
accessed).
2. Double-click on the icon, and then click on Yes to the question, "Are you sure you want to add the information in C:DOCUME~1\administrator account
\Desktop\20031Rec.reg to the registry?"
3. The new value will be added to the registry.
Note :Refer to Windows registry information for advanced users ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986 ) for additional registry editinformation.

5.Exit Service mode.

Possibly with C-2714 error code. No image is visible on the transfer belt.
CAUSE: The first transfer pressure release motor (M19) coupling gear is spring loaded and can become lodged in the back position.

SOLUTION: Release the first transfer pressure release motor (p/n 08AA 8003 0) coupling gear (p/n 65AA 1714 0) so that it springs freely when pressed and
released.

Possibly with C-4501, C-4502, C-4503and/or C-4504 error codes.
PROBABLE CAUSES:
1. Open ICP fuse on the Printer Control Board (PRCB).
Check the continuity of the ICP fuses ICP17, ICP20, and ICP21 with the PRCB out of the machine. You can also carefully check that there is 24V DC on
each side of the fuses while the board is in the machine. Voltage on just one side of the fuse would indicate that the fuse is open and the board needs
replacing (p/n A03U R759 00 - Printer Control Unit).

Theory of Operation.

Possibly with C-4521 and/or C-4522 error codes.
CAUSE: ICP17 isOPEN on the Printer Control Board. The wiring between the printer control board and the hardware counters may be pinched. If the wire is
shorted to ground, ICP17 on the printer control board will open, resulting in the error code. If the wire is broken internally without shorting, the machine will
function but the counter will not increment.

SOLUTION:Check the wiring between the PRCB and the Total Counter. There might be a short to ground close to the Total Counter. After the short is found
and repaired, replace the PRCB (p/n A03U R759 00).
If the wiring is not damaged, reposition it so that it is secured in the plastic hooks behind the counters. This will keep the wiring from being pinched when the
cover is removed and reinstalled.
It is recommended that all machines be inspected at setup or the next service call to prevent future incidents.

Solution
CAUSE:A toner density sensor has failed or is being read incorrectly.

SOLUTION:Swap suspected problem developing unit with theanother developing unit (tape up the developer toner entrance hole or leave toner hopper unit
open with interlocks made so it will not be adding toner to the incorrect swapped unit) and powerON the machine.If the problem follows the developing unit
and a different service code is indicated,the TDS sensor (p/n A03U M508 01) may have failed.
To verify, check the values of the sensors in the Service mode => Process adjustment => Sensor output check => #4 TCR sensors. Values should
be around 130 (if no reading, check developing unit connections, spring contacts and for loose wires). The higher the value, the more undertoned the
developer. The lower the value, the more overtoned.
Try depleting toner, if needed, from the suspected unit by running halftones of test pattern 53, density of 255 (leaving toner hopper unit open so it will not add
toner). Check if the TCR value rises, achieving a value of 130.
Try adding toner to the suspected unit (closing the toner hopper unit so it will add) in the I/O mode (54-0 for Yellow, 54-3 for Magenta, 54-6 for Cyan or 54-9
for Black) to see if the suspected unit values go lower (if not, the toner hopper may be packed or the toner motor has failed; test in I/O). Try to achieve the
value of 130.
The above procedures might have to be done a couple of times to achieve the target values. Perform any required image adjustments after the procedure
has been done.

What is the part number for the folder rollers? The rollers are pictured using dashed lines and no part number is given in new version of Parts Catalog.
