Training Information
Service training (self-paced) should be completed before the first machine is delivered to users. The training will be performed
based on local training strategies for this product.
Due to the many servicing similarities between the J012/J013/J014/J015/J016 and the
J001/J003/J007/J010/J011 predecessor models, Service Professionals currently certified on the predecessor models have
been automatically certified by Ricoh University on the new GelSprinter series.
It is strongly recommended that all the information provided in this J012/J013/J014 and J015/J016
Service Documentation Update Package be thoroughly reviewed by all automatically certified
Service Professionals prior to performing any service. It is also strongly recommended that Service
Professionals review this material while they have access to a J012/J013/J014 or J015/J016 preferably with all options.
This update package is intended only for Service Professionals who currently hold certification on the J001/J003 and
J007/J010/J011 products (predecessor models). Service Professionals who are not currently certified on any of the
predecessor models can achieve certification on the J012/J013/J014 and J015/J016 by completing the GelSprinter series Selfpace CBT/WBT.
Call avoidance is a key of the training to minimize the service cost.
