Multimedia Printer Series
Ricoh developed the world's first rewritable CD, the CD-Rewritable, and it
has become a commercial success.
The Multimedia Printer Series Drive (the CD-R/RW Drive) can do much more
than read and write the usual CD-R discs. When you load it with a rewritable
CD-RW disc, you can record, read, and edit any kind of data, because these
discs allow you to rewrite information that has already been recorded.
Features:
# Ricoh's original completely sealed flexible-door construction pro-
vides high reliability.
# Running OPC*1 gives a flatter writing signal that improves reliabil-
ity.
# An improved anti-heat design means that no cooling fan is needed.
# Easy-to-use tray model.
# Enhanced-IDE (A TAPI) model
# Can read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs,
music CDs, and photo CDs.
# Can read data at 6x speed (900KB/sec data transfer rate) and write
data at 2x speed (300KB/sec data transfer rate).
# The recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player or
multiread CD-ROM player, maintaining future compatibility .
# Supports random UDF for easy writing to CD-RW discs.
*1 Continuously monitors the signal level during recording and ad-
justs the laser power to compensate when the disc is dirty, insuring
a flat signal.

(EIDE/ATAPI) Setup
Before installation, set the jumper on the jumper connector on the rear panel.
The drive can be connected as the Master or Slave on an EIDE (ATAPI)
interface. When several (up to four) EIDE devices are connected, each must
be set in a unique way. Specific knowledge of hardware and software is
necessary to install the drive.
We cannot guaranty against direct or indirect damage resulting from improper connections. Ask your supplier for details of the installation procedure.
If two peripheral devices with the same settings are both connected
to the Primary or to the Secondary EIDE bus, the host computer may
fail to run, or may malfunction, so careful attention is necessary .

2. Handling Procedures
Obey the following cautions when handling the drive or discs.
Cautions During Installation
• Install the drive in accordance with the specifications. Be careful to
avoid locations likely to cause vibration or shock.
• Avoid locations where there is high humidity, much dust, or poor
ventilation.
• Avoid locations in direct sunlight, with severe changes in humidity,
or places where there are extremely high or low temperatures.
• Don't use the drive near radio or television receivers. It may interfere
with their reception.
• Dismantling the drive to attempt repairs or for other reasons is dan-
gerous because the laser may radiate outside the unit. Do not disassemble the drive.
Cautions During Use
• Don't suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm one, or
suddenly raise the room temperature. Condensation may occur, causing abnormal operation.
• Make sure to remove the disc before moving the drive. The disc may
be damaged, causing data loss.
• Be careful to prevent foreign objects such as liquids or metal from
entering the drive. Should by chance a foreign object enter the drive,
please consult the dealer where the drive was purchased.
• Don't use benzene or thinner to clean dirt from the drive. Don't allow
chemicals such as insecticides to contact the drive. Use a soft cloth to
wipe the drive, or moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with
water and use it to clean particularly dirty areas.
• Don't cutoff the electric power while the drive is operating.
• When connecting two IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary
connectors, make sure that the two devices are not both configured
as Master, or both as Slave. If they are both set the same, Windows
may fail to run or recognize the drives.
• The total length of the EIDE cable should be no more than 18 inches
(about 45 cm).
• Make sure the power to the host computer is turned OFF before
connecting.
• Never insert a damaged disc into the drive.
• In wintertime, don't use a disc soon after bringing in from outdoors.
Use it only after it has reached room temperature.

Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning
• Remove the disc by pressing the eject button.
• Use compressed air to clear dust from the drive. (Spray the com-
pressed air for about 5 seconds). (See Fig. 1)
• Check to see if there is dirt on the surface of the disc. Be careful not
to touch the disc with the fingers when doing this. (See Fig. 2)
• After cleaning the disc with compressed air, place it on the disc tray
and load in the drive.
We suggest using Perfect Duster II (80z.) as compressed air for
cleaning.

Other Cautions
• When moving the equipment, make sure that the disc has been re-
moved from the drive.
• When connecting connectors, make sure that the power is OFF. If
the power is ON, there is a possibility of short circuit.
• When not using the drive for a long period, dust may adhere to the
disc tray. Before using the drive again, use dry air cleaner to remove
the dust from the tray.
