Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains 5-milliwatt, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.

Laser Safety:

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical 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 replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is required.

Important

Parts of this manual are subject to change without prior notice. In no event will the company be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of handling or operating the machine.

Caution:

Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Do not attempt any maintenance or troubleshooting other than that mentioned in this manual. This printer contains a laser beam generator and direct exposure to laser beams can cause permanent eye damage.

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 responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts other

than genuine Ricoh parts in your Ricoh office product.

• If you load paper into the paper tray, be sure not to stack over the limit mark.

• If you load paper onto the bypass tray, be sure that paper fits under the side guide.

• If you load paper into the paper tray, confirm that the print side is facing down.

• If you load paper onto the bypass tray, confirm that the print side is facing up.

Paper and Other Media

Storing Paper

Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds or printer damage.

Recommendations are as follows:

• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.

• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.

• Store on a flat surface.

• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.

Types of Paper and Other Media

❖❖❖❖

Plain paper

• If you print on paper heavier than 155 g/m2 (41 lb), use the bypass tray.

The bypass tray can hold paper up to 162 g/m

• If you load paper heavier than 155 g/m

the printer to Thick Paper mode using the operation panel.

• If paper is curled or bent, correct it before loading.

❖❖❖❖

OHP transparencies

• Load only one OHP transparency at the same time onto the bypass tray.

• When loading an OHP transparency onto the bypass tray, set the printer

to Transparency mode with the operation panel.

• Be careful not to touch the print side of the OHP transparencies, otherwise

the print side gets dirty or damaged, and results in poor print quality.

• When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it facing

down onto the bypass tray.

❖❖❖❖

Adhesive labels

• Load only one adhesive label at the same time onto the bypass tray.

• Use adhesive labels in which the whole side can be printed on.

• Do not use adhesive labels having exposed glue.

• If the print side is coated, print quality might be reduced, as the toner

might not fuse well.

• Confirm that the print side is facing up when loading onto the bypass tray, and facing down when loading into the optional Envelope Feeder Unit.

• Load the envelopes with the flaps aligned to the left side fence. The flaps should be securely folded up.

• Confirm that there is no air in the envelopes before loading.

• To get better print quality, it is recommended that you set the right, left, top, and bottom print margin, to at least 15 mm (0.6") each.

• Do not print on both sides of envelopes.

• Load only one size and type of envelopes at the same time.

• Before loading envelopes, flatten the leading edges (the side being fed into the printer) of them by running a pencil or ruler across them.

mation, see P.91 “Cleaning the Friction Pad”.

Troubleshooting

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

WARNING:

• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer or at appropriate collection sites.

• If you dispose the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to your local regulations.

CAUTION:

The inside of the printer be-

•

comes very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the “hot surface”, otherwise it could cause a personal burn.

Do not eat or swallow toner.

•

Keep toner (used or unused) and

•

toner cartridges out of reach of children.

Our products are engineered to

•

meet the highest standards of quality and functionality. When purchasing expendable supplies, we recommend using only those specified by an authorized dealer.

Important

❒

Do not expose the toner cartridge to light for a long time. Do not leave the front cover open for a long time. If the toner cartridge is exposed to a light for a long time, the toner cartridge might be damaged and print quality might be reduced.

Note

❒

Do not stand or place the toner cartridge upside-down.

❒

The actual number of printed pages you get from a particular toner cartridge depends on the type and size of paper you are using, the contents of the print images, and printing environment conditions. All this means that a toner cartridge might require replacement sooner than the normal life described on P.150 “Consumables”.

Open the front cover by pushing

A

the front cover release button.

When “Replace Toner Cartridge” appears on the panel display, the toner is almost running out. Prepare a new toner cartridge. If the image density gets too light, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.
