 Fax Options:

 Handset (for the USA): This is a new model.
 Extra G3 Interface option: This provides one more analog

line interface. This allows full dual access. Two extra G3
interface options can be installed.

 Memory Expansion: This expands the SAF memory and the

page memory (used for image rotation); without this
expansion, the page memory is not big enough for image
rotation at 400 dpi, so transmission at 400 dpi is not
possible.

Auto Job Promotion - 2

 Although specific error jobs can be skipped, when an error

occurs during printing a job, the job cannot be skipped and
the machine will stop with an error message.

 To reduce the occurrence of such situations,

administrators can set the number of pages for pre­detection of errors.

 Example: If 4 sheets of paper are left and a 10-page

simplex print job is sent to the machine:

 i) when the number of pages for pre-detection of errors is 2

» It is confirmed that more than 2 sheets of paper are left, and

the machine judges that no error will occur and starts printing.
But paper end occurs and the machine will stop.

 ii) when the number of pages for pre-detection of errors is 5

» The machine predicts that paper end will occur, so the job will

be skipped and handled as 'Hold Print'.

Example: 3-page job with stapling

Example: 2 sets of a 3-page job

Banner Page

New Feature for this Series

Banner Page

 A banner page is a page that is printed before the job, and

contains information about the job.

 A banner page is used in network printing in order to separate documents (or

"print jobs") from each other and to identify the originator of the print by user
name.

¾ In some cases, print jobs are sent to a central processing area where

messengers take the printouts back to the owner, but the usual practice in
modern office environments is for the user to retrieve his or her own
documents. The banner page makes it clear who printed each job.

 Printed banner pages are counted as B&W jobs.
 The banner page is not available for “Sample print”, “Locked print”, “Stored

print”, “Hold print” and “Send to Document Server”. Although exclusive control on
printer driver UI is available on Windows OS, it doesn’t work on Mac OS. This
means that if both banner page and “Locked print” are selected at the same time
on Mac OS, but the banner page setting is ignored.

 Landscape can’t be selected as the orientation of banner pages.
 The NetBIOS name will be used as the Host name on banner pages. If users set

a computer name which is longer than 15 bytes on a Windows OS, only the first
15 bytes of the computer name will be printed as Host name because of
Windows OS specifications.

 If languages which are not supported by MFPs ar e included in the account

name, computer host name or job name, the characters will be garbled.

 When users print multiple copies, just one sheet of banner page will be printed

before the first copy. But please note that there are some applications which
handle multiple copies as multiple jobs. In this case, banner pages will be printed
before each copy.

 Note: The display is for a color

copier.

 ”Others” means paper sizes other

than A3 and DLT (11 x 17 inch).

 The default per-page unit count for

every print condition is “1”.

 If you specify "0" for a print

condition, no volume restriction is
applied to jobs matching that
condition.

 This setting can be done from

“Web Image Monitor” also.

 Specify the Maximum Count per User.

 A value between "0" and "999,999“

can be set for each user as the
maximum available print volume.

 The maximum print volume for an

individual user can also be
specified in [Address Book] in
“Web Image Monitor”.

 This is the same as for AP/AT-C2.5.
 Example

¾ If print conditions and Maximum Use Count of “User A” are specified as

follows…

Copier: A3/DLT, B&W 10
Printer: A3/DLT, B&W 10
Copier: Others, B&W 5
Printer: Others, B&W 5
Maximum Use count of “User A”: 500

¾ The following printing pattern is available for “User A”.

 After the main power switch of the machine has

been turned off, the SDB keeps the power supply
to the controller until the HDD unit has been
shutdown safely.

 When shutting down from normal stand-by

Printing on Letterhead Paper

 This setting changes the paper path.

 Off: Simplex pages go through the simplex path and duplex

pages go through the duplex path.

 Auto Detect: The paper path for simplex jobs with a paper

type of "Letterhead", "Pre-printed" or "Pre-punched“is
changed to the duplex path.

 On (Always): The paper path for all simplex jobs with all

types of paper is changed to the duplex path.

 Simplex pages will still be counted as simplex jobs by the

internal counter even if this setting is enabled.

 This is enabled with a printer bit switch.
 The purpose of the synchronizing the simplex and duplex paths is so that a

single tray of preprinted paper can be used for both simplex and duplex pages.

 With the default setting, at least 2 separate trays are required for preprinted

paper (one for simplex printing and the other for duplex printing). The paper is
loaded face-up in one tray and face-down in the other. This can be a annoyance
for customers.

¾ The default setting is Off is to reduce wear on the duplex unit. The duplex

unit may wear out early when this setting is always enabled. The degree of
extra wear depends on print volume.

¾ Note: If the preprinted paper is the same on both sides, then a single tray

can be used and this setting will probably not need to be changed.

 If this feature is enabled, only a single tray of preprinted paper is needed for both

simplex and duplex pages.

received faxes can be set
manually on the operation
panel when this timer
function is disabled.

 By utilizing this function, received faxes are not printed when users are not in their office, so they

can reduce the risk of information leak from uncontrolled outputs.

 And also, it will be possible to forward faxes received when the office is closed to another working

office.

 Printing from the LAN-FAX driver is always possible regardless of output mode switch timer

setting.

 The machine must have a HDD.

 To use this function, specify the period of time to switch the output mode in "Timer: Detailed

Settings", and then specify the output mode in "Output Mode" when the Output Mode Switch
Timer function is enabled.

 Jobs affected by this timer

¾ Received fax/ Internet fax/ IP fax documents
¾ Mail to Print
¾ Auto Report related fax application

Enhanced Encryption

 This function lets users select safer encryption algorithms,

AES256bit and SHA-2.

AES256bit

 The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a symmetric-key encryption

standard adopted by the U.S. government. AES is also adopted by NESSIE in
EU and CRYPTREC in Japan.

 There are 3 types of AES, and each of these ciphers has a 128-bit block size,

with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. DES, the previous
encryption standard, has a 56-bit key size, so AES with a 256-bit key size is
much safer than DES.

SHA-2

 Secure Hash Algorithm-2 (SHA-2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions

designed by the National Security Agency (NSA).

 SHA-2 has 224, 256, 384, and 512 bit hashes. Since SHA-2’s hashes are longer

than SHA-1 (160 bits), SHA-2 is safer than SHA-1. Ricoh basically adopts the
256-bit hash.

Bates Numbering

 Bates numbering is used in the legal, medical,

and business fields to place identifying numbers
on documents as they are scanned or processed.

 Bates stamping can be used to mark and identify

images with copyrights by putting a company
name on them.

 “Auto Start”, “Interrupt Copy” and “Printing from Document Server” cannot be

used with Bates numbering.

 Zero suppression for auto-increment numbering is available on SP mode.
 If the arbitrary text is long and its size is big, latter subset of numbering may not

be printed.

 When this function is enabled, collated output is not available in copying multiple

sets of multiple page document.

Bates Numbering

 Bates numbering is provided

as a stamp function of the
Copier application.

 By setting arbitrary text such

as a company name, a nine­digit start number for auto­increment numbering, and
stamp position, users can
add Bates numbering on
each page of copy output.

 The total number of digits

of arbitrary text and auto­increment numbering must
be less than 64 bytes.

 To use this function, change

the default setting of “Stamp
Text” in “Copier / Document
Server Features”.

Original Width Detection Failure

 There is no original width sensor.
 The CCD detects the width of the paper before scanning

(this is known as ‘pre-scanning’).

 If the original has punch holes, or is thin or transparent, the

CCD may detect the incorrect width.

 The following problem may occur for thin originals:

 If the user opens the cover during pre-scanning, they may

get a strong light from the scanner lamp in their eyes.

 To prevent this, the lamp power is less during pre-scanning

(default: 60%).

 However, with the reduced setting, sometimes the machine

cannot detect the original size.

 If this happens, increase the setting using SP4-309-004.
