Contemporary ink tubes (used from the Riso RZ logo onwards) use an RFID sticker on the end of the tube to record basic ink information (color, type, volume remaining, expiration date, etc.). Each drum holds matching values so that it can recognize the tube—and notify the operator if the wrong tube is inserted in the drum.

However, there's many situations in which you might need to reprogram a drum to recognize a different ink tube (for example when transitioning a drum)—this tutorial walks through some different procedures and values you may need to reference.[1]

Drum reprogramming

Drums can be reprogrammed in two ways:

  1. Automatically, using the ink code copy function in test mode.
  2. Manually, by changing the drum's color values by hand.

Ink code copy

Test mode 890 performs the "print drum ink code copy" function.

  1. Turn the Riso on in test mode.
  2. Install the drum you are reprogramming.
  3. Remove the old ink tube and insert the ink tube you are trying to reprogram the drum to accept.
  4. The Riso will throw a D04-534 error, which you can clear by pressing the RESET key.
  5. Run test mode 890 (punch in 890 and hit START).
  6. Turn off the Riso and turn it back on in test mode.
  7. If no error appears, the drum was successfully reprogrammed—if the error persists, you may need to use the manual method below.
  8. Optionally you can change the display name for the drum (see instructions at the end of this article).

Manual reprogramming

Drums store two values to recognize the ink tube and a third which labels the drum (all three of these are copied from information on the ink tube RFID sticker when using the "ink code copy" function).

Test mode Name Description
1214 Ink color code A numeric code representing the ink color (standard colors have unique codes, while custom colors often share codes).
1215 Ink category Toggles between "Normal" (1) and "HD" (2) or "HG" (3) for specialty black inks.
951 Drum color label Adjusts the displayed color label for the drum (i.e. "Red 3," "Yellow 2," etc.)—this is displayed on touch-screen machines and used when selecting the drum to be used in from the print driver.

The first two values are the critical ones, but they are both in the protected area of the test modes, and must first be unlocked with test mode 9874.

  1. Turn on the Riso in test mode.
  2. Install the drum you are reprogramming, and clear out any error codes that show up with the RESET button.
  3. Run test mode 9874 to unlock the protected area test modes.
  4. Run test mode 1214 and jot down the current value (press 1214 then START—the current value will be displayed).
  5. Input the new color code value from the chart below (type in the new value, e.g. 17 for Fluorescent Orange on an Riso SF logo), then hit START to save the value.
  6. Run test mode 1215 and jot down the current value.
  7. Change the value (same procedure as above) to:
  8. Turn off the Riso and turn it back on in test mode.

The ink color code values for 1214 for different inks are as follows:[2]

# Color # Color # Color
0 Not specified (will result in a T98-097 error)
1 Black 2 Blue 3 Medium Blue
4 Red 5 Bright Red 6 Federal Blue
7 Purple 8 Marine Red 9 Burgundy
10 Green 11 Teal 12 Brown
13 Yellow 14 Light Gray 15 Gray
16 Fluorescent Pink 17 Fluorescent Orange 18 Orange
19 Flat Gold 20 Hunter Green 21 Crimson
30 Custom (used for most other ink colors) 63 Any color

Customizing the drum color label

If you want to change how the drum appears on the Riso and in the print driver, you can do so by changing test mode 951. This is more or less a cosmetic change—it doesn't really effect functionality (but could be helpful for clarity if you have multiple drums that share the same color label and want to tell them apart more easily).

Label codes for Riso RZ logo and onwards are as follows:[2]

# Label # Label # Label
0 Not specified (will result in a T98-097 error)
64 Black 1 65 Blue 1 66 Blue 2
67 Blue 3 68 Blue 4 69 Red 1
70 Red 2 71 Red 3 72 Red 4
73 Green 1 74 Green 2 75 Green 3
76 Yellow 1 77 Yellow 2 78 Brown 1
79 Brown 2 80 Purple 1 81 Purple 2
82 Gray 1 83 Gray 2 84 Light Gray 1
85 Light Gray 2 86 Orange 1 87 Orange 2
88 Gold 1 89 Gold 2 90 Silver 1
91 Silver 2 92 Pink 1 93 Pink 2
94 Custom

Though the RP doesn't use RFID tagging, it was one of the first models to offer built in digital printing (without the use of an external or bundled RIP) and included drum color codes like the above as well. These can be set using test mode 587 and inputting the numeric values above minus 33—e.g. if you were trying to set a drum to "Yellow 2" you'd input 44 (77 - 33 = 44).
