- Service guys might disagree, but last time I checked I have two hands and a brain just like them, so you and I can service our own equipment too! Professional service guys are still my knight in shining armor though!
How to change the developer for cyan, yellow, magenta or black on a Konica Minolta Bizhub PRO C6500. Can be intimidating the first time you do it, but its pretty simple. Obviously if you have a service contract you don't need to do this, but if you are in a situation where you can service your own machine you can save some serious cash by doing this yourself. You can also cause some damage if you do not follow the service manual but it is pretty simple and the more you do on the machines, the more confident you become. It's also very easy to change the drums and coronas too. OEM part numbers for developer are Black: DV610K, A04P600, Cyan: DV610C, A04P900 Magenta: DV610M, A04P800 Yellow: DV610Y, A04P700
Buy a service manual and you can literally do all maintenance items for your machine. All Konica boxes are very similar, you should be able to follow these steps for newer and faster machines like C6000, C7000, C8000, C2060, C2070, C3060, C3070.
This information is exactly the same for these machines: Oce CS650 Pro, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C5500, Konica Minolta LD-6500, Ikon Business PRO 650, Ikon CPP 650, Ikon CPP 550, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6501, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6501P, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C5501, Oce CS665 PRO, Oce CS550, Oce CS620, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6500P, Ikon CPP 560, Ikon CPP 660, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C65hc, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6501e, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6501eP, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6500e, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6500eP, Ikon BP 550, Ikon BP 650, Develop ineo+ 5501, Develop ineo+ 6501, Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C6000, Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C7000, Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS C7000P, Konica Minolta LD-6501, Konica Minolta bizhub PRO C6000L
If you do your own service, post in the comments what machine you service.
Thank you so much sir for making such a relevant video. I need to solve an error C-2452 on my OCE CS665Pro, do you also have a video for it or what advise can you give me?
@@pokieraouloeleman5268 Likely you just need to replace your Magenta developer. That code means Magenta density is below normal. What percentage are you at? If its up close to 300% its time to change it. It could also be your developer unit. Check the life on that.
l service my Xerox Ap7780, like change developer, drum, cleaning Blade, ibt film, fusser, pcr, btr, dispenser toner, And etc
Hi, love your video’s, we have started a small print shop 2 years ago, cash strapped at the moment, my wife is full time (graphic artist for 25 years) and I’m still working a full time job, I have started servicing a Xerox 700i and Ricoh 5110s, I need a copy of the service manual for the Xerox if anyone has one, did anTB on the Ricoh, big job and was worried if it would ever run again but it worked out well, they are not the easiest of machines to work on, the local Ricoh dealer will not help because it is the largest Ricoh in town, they have not worked on them and they didn’t sell it to us. We keep putting what we make back into the business and we still have a lot to learn, your video’s are great for content and inspiration.
Hi Dan, many thanks for sharing maintenance vids, we certainly learn something new by watching the work of other 👍As you say the Bizhub C6500 is an excellent machine, I've been working with it for more than 10years exclusively on PVC (MGI DP60 Pro) and it holds up 😉
Recently we've just acquired another Bizhub Pro C1070 machine, much more efficient in quality but apparently more complicated in maintenance.
Great job Man, it's a pleasure to see your posts👍👍
Thank you so much! Got a KM C6000. Your videos are veeery helpful and give a lot of hope to our small printing collective! ❤All the best! Regards from Bonn/Ger
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much! There are a lot of such printers around the world, although they are old models, your videos are very necessary
I'm learning how to do my own service. A technician that service our machines is a truly great guy and I consider it as a friend, they teach me a lot and always answer my doubts and indicate me what to do when I get stuck on something.
I really have fun doing that.
Btw, I have one bhc308 and one press c7000.
Here in Paraguay all technician advocate for Ricoh presses, and thank you, a year ago I decided to go with KM.
A much more expensive machine to buy here, but on a mid and long term a lot cheaper to maintain and with a better quality print (on my point of view). It is a no brainer decision.
For the next year I truly want to do an upgrade an look for a 3070. I hope the business allows me to do that jump.
Thank you Dam, I'm following you since more than a year and I have learned A LOT. The videos that you put here are pure gold.
Keep going! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Best wishes for you from Paraguay!
Thanks! Glad to hear my videos are helping you out. Keep me updated on your progress!
Most developers will run past their recommended cycle life, but be aware that the machines may start using more toner to compensate for the developer as it ages.
Thank you for posting the video, Save me a lot down time and quality of the prints improved. Now I can do the PM my self. Great video.
Thats what its all about! Glad I could help.
@@justaprinter Hello good afternoon sir< it is the first time for me to face this code C-2452 on my Oce CS665. The machine has stopped and call for technical service. How do I begin to solve this issue? can you please instruct me on the way? Thank you very much
Guno Waakzaam
Thank you sir it help me a lot as i do service here in philiphines
Glad to help!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for the tips Dan! I can add your info to the arsenal of resources I use to service my 6500.
That is awesome!
For years I serviced my 6501. I have a brand new 2060 that’s under a service contract. I currently have to take care of my 654e and 554 Konica’s.
Its good to have some on contract and others you service. Gives you options.
Hey how's it going. I found a box of magenta developer in my garage recently from back when i used to service Lexmark printers for a few years and I seem to remember thinking the developer was somehow magnetic, and I was wondering if you could make a magenta ferrofluid out of it. I stumbled onto your channel in a search to confirm this and then wound up watching your videos for the rest of the night. I do miss that job, and watching your channel has scratched that itch that I miss from it. I never would have imagined such a channel would exist, but this has been really fun to see your process and how you maintain the machines. I really like that your konica minolta machines have the tools you need attached to the doors. Lexmark was never so thoughtful!
Wow! Your story made me chuckle. Glad you enjoyed the videos!
You are the máster. Thanks a lot form Colombia.
You're welcome!
Thank you very much brother for making this video, I'm about to buy a c6000 and I wanted to know if you can tell me the useful life of the developers.
A hug!
It depends on several things, but typically you can 400,000 or more clicks if you keep up on corona replacements.
@@justaprinter Thank you very much for taking the trouble to answer me!
Спасибо тебе мужик, много полезной информации получил по Konica)))
Замечательно!
Eres el mejor
It worked! Thanks again!
Perfect!
thanks very much , your share very usefull... keep going .. and sucses for you..
Thank you, I will
Tap on the housing with screwdriver handle and rotate mag roller and run vaccum nozzle of mag roller. Keep doing this until you get every last drop of toner/developer out. (dump it first).
Good tips!
Make sure to keep your finger on the Mag Roller to prevent build up of static electricity.
No. You will put oil from finger prints on the mag roller and that is not good. @@justaprinter
Thank you! When you replace several developers, do you perform procedures on adjustments at once or after each developer change?
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
C6500 Worked a 2nd time!
Good luck!
Can you help me on my C3070? I have a never changing C2221 ERROR after changing my drums. I even purchased a new transfer belt assembly but got that error right now back. Sensors are new.
Hello is possible tu put devopper DEV617 ( Minolta 6000) on minolta c5501
I service all of my Epson Machines myself (all Inkjets) and my one Laser Printer (Brother), but non of them are of the caliber you are using so im not sure if that counts :)
Hello Dan, I have the opportunity to buy a Konica Minolta C6500 from 2014, I need it to produce photobooks, do you think is a good idea? What are the things would you check from that equipment? If not what would you recommend me? Thank you very much, Eduardo from Argentina
C6500 is a good machine. Be prepared to replace all the drums, developer and corona wires unless you can verify they are new. Also check the age of developer units, belt, rollers. The newer 1070, 2070, 3070 machines have better quality and longevity if you can find one of those.
Hi Dan, thanks again for the information. Obviously Facebook is a great tool to get your story out. I am wondering what other channels you use to forward your message and get jobs into the shop. Obviously the shop is well recognized in the community you serve judging by the amount of time that you have been successfully in business. Any tips on increasing my job throughput would be greatly appreciated!
Do good work, be fair and be patient. I think a lot of success happens when you make helping others a priority.
Just A Printer That is exactly the way we run our shop. Thanks Dan.
Wow... thats nice
THanks!
Hello, I just found your videos and loving them. I've been running a c1060 since they have come out and as much maintenance that I can by myself. Have you ever changed developer on your 1070? I have not be able to find a video on that. Currently I call a tech to do it. But it.seems like something that should be fairly simple. If and when. You do, please post a link to it. Thank you sir. Wonderful videos.
Thank you! I haven't changed developer yet, but I will post a video when I do.
tks man
Happy to help
Do you have a full drum replacement video on a konica minolta C6500?
Sorry, I don't think I do.
Hey! Hi! I received the information that Konica's DU-104 DRUM has been discontinued! Do you know any other drum code that could replace it?
Not that I know of

Good afternoon. Dear sir, I've followed your instruction for replacing the black developer on my CS 665pro because of the 2454 error code. I try to run the tests as you demonstrates but now my machine gives this error 2456. after turn it out and waiting for a while it shows me 2453. Can you help me out? Thank you.
C-2453 is the same problem with Cyan. Here is a video about the other error.ua-cam.com/video/TkSJxUp890s/v-deo.html
How can i get these developer of CMYK in asia ? Do you connect with us for other parts?
Try alibaba. I buy parts from arcservicesco.com
great info, I'm getting a error code C-2414 any idea what might cause this? thanks
Could be a bad sensor on the developing unit. If dev and or dev unit are old I'd replace them.
Very good! is roll feed possible on this printer? Thanks!!
Yes, they do make roll label presses.
@@justaprinter Thanks, I will finder this..a hug
Excuse me
I have Question
Can help me
How I can Printer development of type (Konica 7130 )
And make it Connect with the computer
Sorry I don't know the answer.
Dont use the toner dump feature. Do it by hand as i see you are.
Yup.
I add the developer to the dev unit by hand.
Yup, that will work!
Sir
Konica Bizhub C1060 Machine is WARMING UP Please Wait
Not Ready Sir Plz help
Something in the fuser. A lamp maybe?
please tell me where can i buy konica c7000 supplies, thanks a lot
Some parts are hard to find. I search the part number on ebay and google.
how about using a regular shop vac or a canister vacuum?
Regular vacuum would allow some toner particles through the filter and into the air. Toner vac has much better filtration system.
@@justaprinter Maybe you can name some manufacturers who make proper vacums?
Or maybe you particul size? with need to be filtrated?
@@algirdassokolnikas4087 Hi I know its been a month and I'm not "Just A Printer" but I used to service similar machines. You don't need any particular brand of toner vac. Just be sure it has a filter that is designed for toner, between 1 and 5 microns. You don't want to use a normal vacuum as it will stir up these extremely fine particles and they are not good to breathe and will dirty everything they settle on.
I agree that a service vac is a much better option than a regular domestic vacuum cleaner.
When I was working as a copier tech some years ago in the UK I always bought service vac machines from RS Components. They have a huge website, check them out to see if the can help you
Is developer powder different from toner powder?
Yes, developer is toner and metal power mixed.
hello dear
do you print a vinyl and stickers if yes what machine do you use for it ?
No I don't. I got out of wide format printing.
Ok thank you
c6500 konica error code 6703 pliz soluscen
Sorry, I am not familiar with that code.
Sir how much that printer price
The c6500's are cheap. A few thousand
Oh no! Put some paper down and vaccum every last drop of old dev out of it. Get a 3 M Service Vac (sold under a new name recently). Get the regular toner/dust filter.
I no longer hand this machine. It was a good machine!
Bro I want waisted developer can u gave me I will pay for it
do you know roughly how much money you make per month?
Yes I do. It changes depending how busy we are.
Hi dan , First I wanna thank you very much and I really Appreciate you work , and I really enjoy seeing your videos .
And for you and everybody who see my comment plz help me with this ( I have a konica minolta c8000 , It pop this code c-4652 , I changed the Magenta developer also cleaned the sensors , can anyone help! What should I do !!!
Maybe open the door during the adjustment and see what the magenta marks look like on the belt. This might show an imperfection with the magenta transfer.
You mean the charging roller in the transfer unit for the magenta is having a problem ?
Clear the parts counters before you run those adjustments.
Yup.
Good afternoon. Dear sir, I've followed your instruction for replacing the black developer on my CS 665pro because of the 2454 error code. I try to run the tests as you demonstrates but now my machine gives this error 2456. after turn it out and waiting for a while it shows me 2453. Can you help me out? Thank you.
Sometimes when I keep getting errors and drums and developer are getting old I just replace them all. Drums, developer, wires.
