RICOH COPIERS: HOW TO ENTER SERVICE MODE
=============
IMPORTANT
=============
Dont forget ricoh, savin, lanier, gestetner are pretty much the same under the
hood.
Also, dont forget to reboot your copier before trying this. If you are a button
puncher and enter this code wrong. You might lock the machine up for subsequent
attempts if you dont reboot with failed attempts. So if you enter a method and it
doesnt work. Reboot then try the next method. If no rebooting then you might enter
a failed attempt that locks up the machine then enter a good attempt and it still
does not work.
==================
SERVICE MODE ENTRY
==================
Method 1:
reset>107>stop (hold for 5 seconds)
Method 2:
Clear>107>C (hold for 5 seconds)
Method 3:
reset>107>CLEAR (hold for 5 seconds)
Now lets say, you know the code works and you are dealing with a true network
fanatic you might run into service mode lock. This either disables some or all
service mode (SP) functions.
=================
SERVICE MODE LOCK
=================
User Tools > System Settings > Administrator Tools > Service Mode Lock >
OFF
This unlocks the machine and lets you get access to all the SP codes.
For adjustment mode you turn off the machine, hold 0+8 and power-on. Hold 0+8 until
it beeps.
For setting mode you do the same procedure except you hold the 0+5 and power-on.
For output check you do 0+4 and power-on.
Anyway pay attention there are around 1000 sub programs for each mode. It will be a
lot easier, if you specify just a little more the problem you have.
Pay also attention when messing with programs, if you're not aware of the
situation. There are only numbers.
