I need some help!

Hello! I have a Konica Minolta C258 and I get a lot of small black spots on the paper when I print. If anyone would have a solution to this, you shall have my highest gratitude.

I have tried cleaning the transfer roller and laser unit. :)

Bizhub C360 - Persistent Paper Jam (Jams 20cm before exit) - Sensors respond in Service Mode but issue remains

​

​Hi everyone,

​I’m struggling with a Konica Minolta Bizhub C360 that keeps jamming. The paper travels almost the entire path but stops about 20-30cm before fully exiting the machine (it sticks out about 5-10cm from the exit tray).

​What I've checked so far:

​Sensor Monitor: In Service Mode, I’ve tracked the sensors. Specifically, Paper Exit, Fusing Loop Detect, and Sensor in front of tim. roller all show "0" in their rest state.

​Manual Testing: When I manually actuate these sensors (moving the flags), they toggle between 0 and 1 on the screen. This suggests the photo-interrupters and wiring are electrically functional.

​Fuser: I’ve already replaced the Fuser Pressure sensor (Roller Retraction), but it didn't solve the timing issue.

​The Problem: Even though the sensors respond to manual movement, the machine still jams at the exit. It seems like the logic isn't "clearing" the jam or there is a timing mismatch I can't pin down.

​The Jam Symptoms:

The paper reaches the exit rollers, passes the fuser, and then the machine just stops. There is no specific J-code displayed on the main screen, just the jam animation pointing to areas 2, 11, and 13.

​Questions:

​Is it normal for these sensors to be at "0" state at rest on this specific model?

​Could a dirty/weak clutch or a specific gear (like the 29T in the fuser) cause this even if the sensors seem to "see" the paper?

​Is there a specific exit sensor (PS3) that might be failing only under the heat/speed of actual operation?

​Any advice from Konica techs would be greatly appreciated!

Operation panel E-Waste

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a bizhub C360i that is going to be E wasted, I took the operation panel to see if I could use it as a LCD screen for various home projects. I tried hooking it up to my computer/power source but it won’t turn on and wont read under device manager. Anyone know if there is some way to bypass this? Not sure if it’s a power issue or a data breach issue.

Any help would be great.

bizhub c224e scan not compatible with new server

Hi,

I hope someone can help me or at least tell me that I should just give up...

We have a bizhub c224e from 2013 or 2014 in our office and it was working perfectly until a we got new server last week (its operating system is windows server 2025 according to the IT guy).

Since the printer is so old, it also only has smb 1 and/or 2 (apparently this is an important thing, smb 3 is not available).

Anyway, the problem is that we can't scan to a folder in our server.

My question is, is this a problem on the bizhub side's (incompatibility due to being ancient) or with the definitions from the server?

Is there a solution if it's on the printer/scanner side?

Alternatively we could try a setup to scan to email if we have to.

Someone also said to me bla bla FTP gateway something something but I have no clue what that means.🥲

Thanks for any help/information

Is it worth to repair a bizhub c364e?

Company is scrapping the machine but wanted to see if its possible to repair for home use. The machine is just booting for a few seconds then turns off and bootloops. Searching around says corrupted firmware, ssd board or a mainboard problem. Since firmware is not available to the public, i was thinking of just buying a used ssd board if that fixes it. Then a mainboard if that didnt work.

Scan to Email stopped working

Bizhub 282

Have been scanning to email successfully for years, but noticed snags recently. This could have been for much longer and gone unnoticed because it's my dad's printer, and he doesn't always check if people received his scams.

When I try scanning to email, I get a TX NG on the job display, and the printout shows Result: EA2226

I've searched high and low for EA2226 as it relates to the Bizhub, but I get nothing back.

Pinging 8.8.8.8 is successful, I can access it from within the network as well using the Web Connection interface.

C458 skews prints

This C458 cant print 250-300gsm paper straight. With regular paper it isnt an issue. It kinda squishes one corner, and leaves a noticable gap at the edge.

Changed the registration roller, but no luck

Diagnosing c3100p issues

I bought a used C3100p for my sins. there seems to be various issues though so I’m hoping some kind soul with some experience could take a look and let me know what they think. I printed a few test, saw some issues then printed a sheet of 100% Y, 100% C, 100% M and a sheet of 100% K. I’m seeing a white line on the black sheet, black toner on the other sheets where there is 0% K, and horizontal and vertical faded bands on all sheets except yellow (maybe it’s harder to tell though here).

its done 38000 pages in total. no idea of the history. I do know the black toner is non genuine.

perfection would be nice but advice on how to make a noticeable improvement would be more than good enough. Fortunately used drums etc arent too pricy so I’m happy to chuck some money at it

Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated.

Konica Minolta Bizhub C3350i, Factory Reset Without Admin Password?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a second-hand Konica Minolta Bizhub C3350i printer from an auction, but I’m having a problem.

The device still has the previous owner's settings, and I don’t have the admin password. Because of that, I can’t access the admin panel or reset the printer to factory settings.

I tried looking through the menu, but it seems like I need admin access for everything. I also couldn’t find a clear way to reset it using the buttons.

Does anyone know:

  • Is there a way to factory reset this model without the admin password?
  • Can it be reset using a USB or firmware update?
  • Or is there some kind of service mode I can access?

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Looking for suggestions

I currently have a C-3080 that i work with and for a while we have been running into a problem. I have asked several technicians what their thoughts are and all of them essentially answered with “i dunno”. Attached is a picture of the paper “jam” we are experiencing, it literally just stops printing and wastes an entire booklet plus 5-10 sheets of paper. Anyone run into this before, and if so, any suggestions on what to do?

Choosing between a C368 and C250i KM

I’m torn between grabbing a Bizhub C368 or going for a Bizhub C250i. I figured this sub is the only place where people actually know how these two behave in the real world. I’m upgrading my small shop and need a photocopy machine that won’t turn into a monthly repair project. My workload sits around 5k prints. Mostly school documents office packets and the occasional color heavy job. Nothing extreme. But I still want output that stays sharp and doesn’t start fading after a short while. A few local techs keep pushing the C368 calling it one of KM’s most reliable machines as long as you stay on top of routine maintenance like drums, developer changes and basic cleaning. Others recommend the C250i since it’s newer n has a nicer user experience and tends to produce more consistent everyday color. Though several people warned me that the fuser and belt wear faster than older models. I even checked Alibaba, Facebook Marketplace and a couple of local online sellers to compare parts availability and pricing. And the C368 definitely seems easier to keep alive long term. For anyone who’s actually run or serviced either model, which one would you trust in a busy shop? I just want a photocopy machine that won’t stress me out during peak hours. I’d appreciate any real KM insight before I commit to the wrong photocopy machine..

Bizhub 451i Is there background suppression/removal?

I have been unable to find this option for copies/scans in the konica. I really miss the old interface, this new web based one feels like it was created by someone who has never used a printer, it takes forever to find an option, it is not in a place i would expect, and the search option is kind of useless. Does anyone know if there is background suprression/removal in this model?

How to change default scan settings? (C224e)

SOLVED!

I like this device (Bizhub C224e), but I don't like having to change the resolution and duplex setting every single time I go to scan something.

I've gone through the manuals, and haven't been able to figure out how to change the *default* settings. Anyone have a clue? Am I searching for the wrong keywords?

Fleet RMM "Other Warning"

Has anyone here used Fleet RMM?

We're new to it, and by new I mean we've had bizhubs for a decade, just found out this existed and I'm learning it as I configure it.

I'm working on understanding the warnings and I see "Other Warning" listed on roughly 10-20% of our bizhubs at any given time. Sometimes its fewer, sometimes its more. When I login and look at them through their web interface it will show no warnings. So what does it meaaaaaan?

Bizhub c300i Connector for Sharepoint stuck in login loop

Hi, I'm with an I.T. MSP and we do some copier work for our clients. They use to have a Kyocera with DM Connect and used it scan to many many folders on their network.

They need similar funcationality on their KM Bizhub -- I first installed Connector for OneDrive and this went fine-- was able to log in and see the Onedrive folder. But this can't reach their Sharepoint shortcuts inside OneDrive. They really need to scan to Sharepoint, so I removed Connector for OneDrive and installed Connector for Sharepoint (business version.)

With Connector for Sharepoint, I get stuck in an endless login loop (on the screen of the MFP itself.) I enter their Microsoft Business email, enter password, enter 2FA code from our authenticator app. It circles for a while and then brings me back to the login screen to enter my email again.

This was with our admin email -- my supervisor asked me to create an email specifically for this, so I am now trying to login with this new email (which is licensed with Microsoft 365 Apps for Business since they had an extra license.) However, I was at first trying with the exact same (O365 admin) email that worked for the OneDrive connector but does not work for the Sharepoint connector. Same email, same process. Obviously the O365 admin address has full access to Sharepoint. I gave the new scanner email access to the site/folders that they need.

Any help is appreciated.

The vendor who sold them this copier is not familiar with the Connector apps at all and wasn't any help.

TL;DR -- Connector for Onedrive was able to login, but Connector for Sharepoint is stuck in an endless login loop with no error message.

Gifted a Minolta SR-101 to my wife—and now I’m hooked

I recently grabbed my wife's Minolta SR-101—the JDM version of the SRT 101b.

I originally bought this one for her as a gift (sourced via DKY Japan and freshly CLA’d by the legend Hideki Tada).

A few things that really stood out to me:

  • The Viewfinder: A absolute joy for glasses wearers (huge plus for me).
  • CLC Metering: It’s so precise! Even nowaays (i compared it to my Sekonic L-308X)
  • The 58mm f/1.4 Rokkor: That "vintage glow" on F.14 is very cool!

I’m handling the 1.35V battery struggle with a WeinCell right now (18 months and counting!), and using a modern Godox IM30 along with it, Works great!

I wrote a deep dive on why this mechanical SLR on why it might be the best-kept secret for mechanical purists right now.

Full review and some sample shots here:

Anyone else here shooting an SR 101? as their main camera?
