Multimedia Printer series
Thank you for purchasing the Multimedia Printer series drive (hereafter referred to as the drive). The drive enables you to play
CD-ROM discs, write once and play CD-R discs, or write, play, and rewrite CD-RW discs.
The following marks indicate media that can be used with the drive.
A new technology called Just Link, that overcomes buffer underrun
problems
Buffer underrun errors which occur when data transfer falls behind the writing operation has been inevitable for CD-R/RW
drives. Just Link, which we at Ricoh developed on our own, is a new technology that predicts possible occurrences of buffer
underrun errors in advance and automatically avoids them. With this technology, the drive ensures stable writing operation even
under circumstances where buffer underrun errors tend to occur with conventional drives.
New technology: JustSpeed (Optimum Write Speed Control) function
When the write speed of 24X is specified, this function checks the media's capability to see if it can be written at above-12X
speeds. If the media is not capable of such speeds, the write speed is reduced to 20x, 16X or 12X.
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, excessive dust, or poor ventilation.
● Avoid locations in direct sunlight, with severe changes in humidity, or places where there are extremely high or low temperature
variations.
● Don't use the drive near radio or television receivers. It may interfere with their reception.
● Do not disassemble the drive. Dismantling the drive to attempt repairs or for other reasons is dangerous because the laser may
radiate outside the unit.
Cautions During Use
● Don't suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm place, 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 E-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 E-IDE cable should be less 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 disc. (Spray the compressed air for about 5 seconds).
● 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.
1)
● After cleaning the disc with compressed air, place it on the disc tray and mount it.(See Fig. 2)
● We suggest using dry air cleaner 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.

This is used to adjust the output volume of the headphone jack. It can't be used to adjust the output volume for
the audio output connectors on the rear panel.
Caution
Turn the volume down before turning on the power. Sudden loud noises can damage your hearing.
4.
Busy indicator
This indicator lights orange when a disc is mounted into the drive. When the disc is being accessed, it flashes or
lights orange. If a disc is not mounted, the indicator does not light even when the power is turned on. When a
illegal disc is loaded or some hardware trouble occurs, the indicator blinks.
5.
Eject button
This is the button used to eject or insert in the disc tray.
6.
Emergency eject hole
This drive has a function that allows the disc to be ejected manually if this becomes necessary in an
emergency such as failure of the drive or a power outage.
Caution
This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will cause
malfunction.

This jumper determines whether the drive is configured as a master or slave. Changing the master-slave
configuration takes effect after power-on reset.
4. IDE Interface Connector
Connect to the IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) interface using a 40-pin flat IDE cable.
Caution
Do not connect or disconnect the cable while the power is on, as this could cause a short circuit and
damage the system. Always turn the power OFF when connecting or disconnecting the cable.
Power Connector
5.
Connects to the power supply (5 and 12V DC) of the host computer.
Caution
Be careful to connect it the proper way.
Connecting the wrong way may damage the system (and is not covered under the warranty).
Emergency Eject
This drive has a function that allows the CD to be ejected manually, if this becomes necessary in an emergency such as failure of the drive or a power outage.
Follow the following procedures in such a case.
Caution
This feature is a last measure to be used only in an emergency. Using it excessively will cause malfunction.
1. Turn the power to OFF.
2. Insert a fine tipped object into the emergency eject hole.
The front door pops open and the disk tray comes partway out.
3. Pull the front door to open it all the way,
then grip the disc tray between thumb and forefinger and gently pull it straight out.
If you cannot get a good grip on the disc tray with your fingers, use a steel binder clip or spring clamp to pull it out.
Emergency Eject Hole
The structure inside the emergency eject hole is as shown below. When
you push a thin, stiff wire into the hole, it presses one of the vanes around
the gear, thus rotating the gear for ejecting the tray. Repeating this action
three times or so ejects the tray out.
If you cannot successfully eject the tray by pushing a thin, rigid object in,
the situation may be as follows. The four vanes may be oriented just at
the angles as shown below.
Back Next
In such a case, push the tip of the thin wire in the following
direction with the wire angled at about 15 degrees so that the tray
can easily be ejected.

Before Installation
Before installing the drive, please note the following points.
● You will need the following:
❍ A Phillips head screw driver of a suitable size to fit the securing screws for the drive unit.
❍ The manual for the computer, to know the location of the IDE connector.
● Turn off all peripheral appliances of the computer, and the computer itself, and disconnect their power cords
from the wall sockets.
● Discharge any static electricity by touching the computer covers etc.
● Before installing the drive, be sure to read the following cautions and information on preparation.

Caution
❍ The drive can be connected as the Master or Slave on an E-IDE (ATAPI) interface.
❍ When several (up to four) E-IDE devices are connected, each must be set in a
unique way.
❍ A hard disk is normally installed as the Primary Master on the E-IDE (ATAPI)
interface. Other E-IDE peripheral devices such as hard drives and CD-ROMs are
then set accordingly.
❍ If two peripheral devices with the same settings are both connected to the Primary
or to the Secondary E-IDE bus, the host computer may fail to run, or may
malfunction, so careful attention is necessary.
❍ Make sure that the host computer is turned OFF when connecting or removing a
jumper.
❍ Must be connect the jumper in the vertical direction. If connected horizontally, the
drive may malfunction or be damaged.
1. Jumper Set Up
❍ Only one jumper should be installed on the jumper connector. If more than one
jumper is installed, the drive may malfunction or be damaged.
