Introduction
This manual contains detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of this machine. To get
maximum versatility from this machi ne all operators should carefully read a nd follow the instr u ctions in
this manual. Please keep this manual in a handy place near the machine.
Please read the Safe ty Inf ormat ion bef ore us ing t his mac hine. It contai ns im portan t in forma tion r elat ed
to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
Notes:
Some illustrations may be slightly different from your machine.
Certain options may not be available in some countries. For details, please contact your local dealer.
Operator Safety:
This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains two 5-milliwat, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact wit h the laser beam might cause se rious eye damage. Saf ety pr ecautions an d inter lock
mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Laser Safety:
The Center for Devices and Radi ologi cal Hea lth (CD RH) pr ohibit s th e repai r of las er-bas ed opt ica l unit
in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite
equipment. The laser subsystem is replac eable in t he fiel d by a qual ified Cus tomer En gineer. The laser
chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis
and laser subsystems to the fact ory or se rvice dep ot when replaceme nt or the opt ical subsyst em is required.
Warning:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the Inch version.
For good copy quality, Ricoh recommends that you use genuine Ricoh toner.
Ricoh shall not be responsi ble for any damage or exp ense that mi ght res ult from the use of parts other
than genuine Ricoh parts in your Ricoh office product.

contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage.
When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representative.
•
Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss
of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of
serious eye damage.
•
If the machine looks damaged or breaks down, smoke is
coming out, there is a strange smell o r anything looks unusual, immediately turn off the operation and main power
switches then unplug the power cord fro m the wall. Do not
continue using the machine in this condition. Cont act your
service representative.
•
If metal, liquid or foreign matter falls into the machine, turn
