Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains 5­milliwatt, 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.

The following label is attached on the back side of the machine.

Laser Safety:

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 ma­chine 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 metric version.
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.
For good copy quality, Ricoh recommends that you use genuine Ricoh toner.

property.

ii

R WARNING:

• Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex­tension cord.

• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible,
so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily.

• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the
power cable or plug becomes frayed or damaged.

• To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not
remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this man­ual.

• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the
plug, not the cable) if any of the following conditions exist:

• You spill something into the equipment.

• You suspect that your equipment needs service or repair.

• Your equipment's cover has been damaged.

• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable

and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or appropriate col­lection site.

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

iii

R CAUTION:

• Protect the equipment from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow,
and so on.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the equipment.
While moving the equipment, you should take care that the power cord will
not be damaged under the equipment.

• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).

• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall in­side the equipment.

• Do not eat or swallow toner.

• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner cartridge out of reach of children.

• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the equipment or expended

supplies at a household waste collection point. Disposal should take place
at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.

• 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.

❖❖❖❖ PCL Printer Drivers

Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a
printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are
included on the CD-ROM that comes with this printer. We recommend PCL
6 as your first choice. However, some of the applications might require instal­lation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in ad­dition to PCL 6.

Reference

Where to Put the Printer

The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental

A

conditions greatly affect its performance.

WARNING:

• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely acces­sible, so that in the event of an emergency, it can be easily un­plugged.

• Only connect the machine to the power source described on this
sheet.

• Avoid multi-wiring.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power

cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more
than necessary. These actions could damage the cord. A frayed
or damaged cord might cause an electrical and fire hazard.

CAUTION:

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an
electrical shock.

2

• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental
conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside
the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an
electrical or fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust.
Accumulated dust can become an electrical or fire hazard.

• Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, the ma­chine might fall and injure someone.

• If you use the machine in a confined space, confirm there is a contin­uous air turnover.
