Ricoh (OEM) Printer Setup (1:2)

1.) Open the printer box, remove the cables and other accessories, and place them aside. Next, remove
the printer from the box, and place it on a sturdy work surface with sufficient operational clearances
(the printer weighs approximately 43 lb). Finally, remove the orange adhesive tape and attach the
power cord and the USB cable. DO NOT POWER ON THE PRINTER AT THIS TIME.

2.) Remove the SubliJet-R ink cartridges from their packages. Open the right front cover on the printer, and
insert the cartridges in the order indicated—from left to right (as you face the printer): black (K), cyan (C),
magenta (M) and yellow (Y). Press each cartridge in until it engages securely, and close the cover once
all of the cartridges are in place. Never shake or agitate the cartridges.

3.) Remove the paper tray, pull the cover straight up, and adjust the guides for the paper size you will be
using. Load the paper, put the cover back on, and reinsert the tray into the printer. For larger paper sizes,
refer to the documentation provided with your Ricoh printer for extending the paper tray.

4.) Plug the power cord into a power outlet and plug the USB cable into a 2.0 USB port located on the back of

the computer. DO NOT POWER ON THE PRINTER AT THIS TIME.

5.) Start your computer, wait until Windows is fully operational and proceed to the Ricoh (OEM) driver

download and installation section.

CAUTION

During downtime, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to leave the printer powered ON to allow the Ricoh Automatic
Maintenance Utilities to keep the print head nozzles clear. The Ricoh GelSprinter has been engineered to perform
automatic maintenance at various times in an effort to keep the print head nozzles in top condition. If this mainte­nance cannot be automatically performed, it is possible that the nozzles may suffer permanent effects. As a result,
head cleanings may be unable to restore the print head to optimal operation.

Note: If you experience any communication errors, a powered USB Hub may be required.
