Introduction

This manual contains detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of this machine. To get maximum versatil ity from this ma chine all opera tors sho uld careful ly read an d follow the ins tructi ons in this manual. Please keep this manual in a handy place near the machine.

Please read the Safety Information before using this machine. It contains important information related to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.

Power Source

120 V, 60 Hz, 10 A or more Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above.

Operator Safety:

This machine is considered a CDRH clas s I lase r devi ce, safe for office/ EDP use. Th e ma chine con tains 10-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 fac tory or se rvice d epot when replace ment or the op tical subsyste m 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 mainte nance or troub leshooti ng other th an that ment ioned in this manual. Th is 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 inch version. Ricoh shall not be resp onsib le for any damag e or exp ense that m ight res ult fr om the u se of part s other

than genuine Ricoh parts in your Ricoh office product. For good copy quality, Ricoh recommends that you use genuine Ricoh toner.

Precautions for Pape r

Note the following precautions when handling or selecting paper to be used with this printer.

Cautions in loading paper

Important

❒

Do not use paper that is meant for an inkjet printer. Otherwise, it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a paper misfeed.

❒

When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it with the print side down onto the bypass tray. Otherwise, it may stick to the fusing unit and cause a misfeed.

• Use only the recommended paper types. Print quality cannot be guaranteed

if other paper types are used. ⇒ P.23

• Do not use paper that is already printed on.

“Paper not supported by this printer”

Cautions in storing paper

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

Follow the precautions below.

• 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.

❒

The number of sheets to be set may vary depending on the paper thickness and paper type.

• When the “OHP SLIP SHEET” setting is set to “NO”, be sure to remove each OHP transparency immediately after it is printed. For more information, see the “Getting Started”.

Note

❒

This printer uses paper in tray 1 for OHP slip sheet even if the direction and size of paper loaded in tray 1 is different from the direction and size of the OHP transparency. Check the direction and size of paper loaded in tray 1 before using “OHP SLIP SHEET” setting.

22

❒

When there is no paper in tray 1, “OHP SLIP SHEET” will not work even if “OHP SLIP SHEET” setting is set to “YES”. Be sure to remove each OHP transparency immediately after it is printed.

Removing Misfed Paper

When a paper misfeed occurs, an error message appears on the panel display. The procedure you should follow to remove the misfed paper depends on its location which is indicated on the panel display.

CAUTION:

When removing misfed pa-

•

per, do not touch the fusing section because it could be very hot.

When accessing the inside of

•

the machine, do not touch any sections other than those specified in this manual. If you do, it might result in receiving a burn or inju ry.

❒

Make sure the size of the paper loaded in tray 1 is same as the size of the OHP transparency.

If misfeeds persist, contact your sales or service representative.

Do not touch the photoconductor unit when removing misfed paper. If you do, the photoconductor unit might be damaged.

Exposing the photoconductor unit to light for too long can reduce its performance. Close the cover as quickly as possible.

After removing the misfed paper, the back sides of the next printout might get dirty. Print a few pages to absorb the toner.

Important

❒

If your printer is equipped with the optional tray, do not pull out more than one tray with paper at a time. If you do, the printer might tilt forward.

❒

Check the following points if paper continues to misfeed.

• Make sure paper is properly loaded in the paper tray.

• Make sure the number of sheets do not exceed the maximum capacity of the tray.

• Make sure you are using only the appropriate type of paper.

• Make sure misfed paper is still not inside the printer when you resume printing.

• Check the paper type settings. The type of paper set with the printer driver might be different from the actual paper or media type. Make the correct paper or media type setting.
