Configuration ID
The two configuration IDs are used to communicate information about certain areas of the printer that cannot be
determined using hardware sensors. The configuration IDs are originally set at the factory when the printer is
manufactured, however the servicer may need to reset Configuration ID 1 or Configuration ID 2 whenever you
replace the system board. The IDs consist of eight hexadecimal characters, including 0 through 9 and A
through F.
Note:
When the printer detects a Configuration ID that is not defined or invalid, the following occurs:
•
The default standard model Configuration ID is used instead.
•
Configuration ID is the only function available in DIAGNOSTICS.
