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 dangerous 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.

•If two different devices with the same SCSI ID are connected to the SCSI bus, the system may fail to function. Be careful that none of the SCSI IDs are the same when installing the equipment.

•Keep the total length of the SCSI cable within 6 meters.

•When connecting the SCSI cable to the drive, make sure the power is OFF.

•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.

ii

Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning

•Remove the disc by pressing the eject button.

•Use compressed air to clear dust from the drive. (Spray the compressed 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 mount it.

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 removed 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.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Multimedia Printer Series (Compact Disc Recorder/ReWriter) MP 7060S series (abbreviated CD-R/RW drive).

Be sure to read this manual carefully before using this product.

This manual explains everything you need to know to operate this product. Keep it in a safe place and refer to it whenever necessary.

Writing software must be installed in the host computer in order to write on the CD-R/RW discs. Refer to the software manual for details.

Multimedia Printer series

The Multimedia Printer Series Drive (the CD-R/RW Drive) can do much more than read and write the usual CD-R discs. When loaded with a rewritable CD-RW disc, you can record, read and edit any kind of data. This is because the CD-RW discs allow you to rewrite information that has already been recorded.

Features:

zRicoh’s original completely sealed door construction provides high reliability.

zRunning OPC*1 gives a uniform writing signal that improves reliability.

zAn improved anti-heat design means that no cooling fan is needed.

zEasy-to-use tray model.

zUses the world standard SCSI II Interface.*2

zCompliant with industry standard Orange Book Part II (CD-R) and Part III (CD-RW).

zCan read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs, music CDs, photo CDs, and CD-Text

zCan read data at 24x speed (3.6MB/sec data transfer rate) and write data at 6x speed*3(900KB/sec data transfer rate).*3

zThe recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player or a multiread CD-ROM Player, maintaining future compatibility.

zSupports random UDF for easy writing to CD-RW discs.

*1 Continuously monitors the signal level during recording and adjusts the laser power to compensate when the disc is dirty, insuring a uniform signal.

*2 The SCSI interface board is not included with this product. You need to purchase it separately.

*3 Can write to CD-RW discs at 4X speed (600 KB/second data transfer rate).
