Hello, I'm kinda new to this, I'm trying to connect a Konica Minolta Bizhub C6500 to SD-501 and a FS-503 but without success, I have tried to do this both with and without the RU-503 but all the C6500 can see is the RU-503 nothing else and no error codes. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Is there anything I'm missing in order to connect these parts? Also do I need to do any modification on the C6500's menu? P.s the parts I bought are used and I don't have installation guides, so please give as much details as possible, thanks. Being a fairly unexperienced tech regarding production machines, We have had to run up a couple of them in the office here.
And The senior tech here was having a similar issue. Him and I worked through the 4 or 5 different manuals before we figured out each unit (I think) needed their own power supply, rather than piggybacking off the main body power. On the back of the FS and SD, you might find a small plate with a screw, or even a power receptacle (similar to the ones on the backs of Power Supplies for PC's.
I think the RU shared power with the main body, but the rest had their own supply I think. On the back of the FS and SD, you might find a small plate with a screw, or even a power receptacle (similar to the ones on the backs of Power Supplies for PC's. Thanks for your help, but I don't think power is the problem for my case, because only the SD-501 has a power outlet which I already hooked it up with a separate power supply rather than piggybacking off the main body. For the RU-503 and FS-503 none of them has a power outlets/plugs. Can Anyone suggest another possible solution? I'd be thankful! Hi, Could be an issue with dipswitches, SD-501 ans FS-503 need to be set up differently depending on whether they are connected to a C6500 (colour) or 1050 (B&W).
On the main board in the options there is a bank of four dipswitches. Dipswitch 2 (second from the left) needs to be up (on) for C6500. If this is the case the C6500 should recognise the options in service mode.
You will then have to rewrite the firmware for the options. Hope this helpsThanks for your suggestion, it solved part of the problem, I had to ignore the FS-503 since I only have the RU-503 not the RU-504 which is required in order to connect this finisher to the main body.
Konica Minolta recommends that all service be performed by an authorized. Replacement procedure can be found in the SD-501 Field Service Manual and is.
