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.

Notice:

This equipment has been tes t ed and found to comply with the limits fo r a Cl ass B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Ru le s . Th ese limits are designe d to pr ovi de reasonable protect i on against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and us ed in accord ance with the instru ctions, may cau se harmful int erference to rad io communications.

However, there is no guar antee that inter ference will not occur in a particular i nstallation. If this eq uipment does cause harmful interference to radio or telev ision reception, which can be de termined by turning the equipment off and on, the use r is encou raged to try to correct the int erfere nce by o ne mor e of the f ollowi ng measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is con-

nected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech nician f or he lp.

Warning

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operat e the equipment.

Caution (in case of 100BaseTX environment):

Properly shielded and grounded cables (STP) and connectors must be used for connections to host computer (and/or periph eral) in order to meet FC C emission limits.
