WARNING
Always obey the instructions listed in IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
when placing the unit. Attempting to clean and replace the lamp in a high location by yourself may cause you to fall, resulting in injury.
If you wish to mount the projector on the ceiling, be sure to ask your sales
representative before doing so. Mounting the projector on a ceiling requires special ceiling brackets (sold separately) and specialized knowledge. Improper mounting could cause the projector to fall, possibly resulting in injury and damage, to the unit.
If the projector is ceiling-mounted, install the breaker for turning off the power in
case of anomaly. Let everyone involved with the use of the projector know that fact.

Precautions
Lamp characteristics may rarely cause the brightness to fluctuate slightly.
• The LCD panel is manufactured using high precision technology. There may be black spots
• (pixels that do not light) or bright spots (pixels that are constantly lit) on the panel. These are intrinsic characteristics of the manufacturing technology and are not malfunctions.
Notes
A lamp is a consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and
• the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. The lifetime of the lamp depends on conditions of use. Although this projector supports a wide range of RGB signals
• supported by this projector (XGA for X3241N, WXGA for WX3231N) will be expanded or shrunk, which will slightly affect image quality. To view high-quality images, set the computer’s external output to XGA for X3241N, WXGA for WX3231N. With some computer models having LCD or similar displays, displaying images
• simultaneously on the projector and the monitor’s display may prevent the images from displaying properly. If this happens, turn off the computer’s LCD display. For information on how to turn off the LCD display, see the computer’s owner’s manual. A “No signal” message will appear if no signal is being input from the connected
• equipment or if signal input is stopped while projecting. If a signal not supported by the projector is input, the “Unsupported signal” message
• will appear.
If an unavailable operation button is pressed, the icon will appear with a beep sound
• (if the beep sound is set to [On]).
Moving pictures played back on computers using DVD software may appear unnatural
• when projected with this projector. However, it is not a malfunction of the projector.

LCD Panels
LCD panels wear out. In order to prolong the lifetime of your LCD panel, take the following precautions:
• To extend the lifetime of the LCD panel, always turn off the power when it is not in use, and make sure that the lamp is off. Keeping the lamp off will also save electricity.
• If the air filter becomes dirty and clogged, the projector’s internal temperature will rise, shortening the lifetime of the LCD panel and causing malfunctions. We recommend regular and thorough cleaning of the air filter
• If the air filter becomes damaged, replace it. Contact your sales representative for a new filter. If you continue to use the projector when its filter is damaged, dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.

Communication mode
The wireless LAN of this projector supports both Ad hoc and Infrastructure Communication modes.
Ad hoc communication mode
This is the transmission mode to communicate between wireless LAN equipment. This mode is applicable, for example, to a presentation in the conference room, as it requires
no other facilities. This function can only be used if the projector is in range of the computer’s wireless signals. Ricoh does not guarantee the coverage of the radio wave in the form of figures. The coverage varies depending on the performance of each wireless LAN equipment, existence of obstacles or other wireless LAN equipment used by nearby working groups, etc. The coverage is generally estimated on the assumption that wireless LAN equipment be used in an unobstructed office or conference room.
Infrastructure communication mode
To LAN Internet, etc.
Hub
Wireless LAN access point
A mixed wireless and wired LAN can be created
via wireless LAN access points. (Communications
between wireless LAN devices are also allowed.)
Connecting to the rest of the world via a wired
LAN or the Internet generally requires a high level
of security.
Use the appropriate transmission mode for your
network environment.
Network/
USB memory
Caution when using the wireless LAN functions
The Wireless LAN in this unit uses the 2.4 GHz waveband. If there is a similar wireless LAN in the area, or a wireless device using the 2.4 GHz waveband, or a microwave oven, the communication efficiency of this apparatus will be reduced, and may become unusable, but it is not a fault. If this happens, check an area away from the current location that will not cause radio interference to medical, industrial and public equipment, and change to it, or stop using the unit.

[Wireless LAN settings]
<Easy Connect (USB memory)> This feature allows users to easily connect the projector to a computer over a network, without making Wireless LAN settings using Network Utility.
<Mode> Your projector is set to Ad hoc in the factory. Change the setting if you want to use the projector in Infrastructure mode.
<SSID> This is an ID code for connecting to specific individuals over a wireless LAN. This may also be called “Network group” or “Network name”. Please read the following carefully.
Note: When you use Ad hoc communication mode, if there is a similar
group (for example, RDPJ1, RDPJ2, etc.) in the possible communication area, it is possible that your projector name will not be displayed in the Network Utility projector list column. If this is the case, set SSID to a completely different character string.
Set the following items if you have set the communication mode to Infrastructure. If you have set the communication mode to Ad hoc for Network Projector setting, the following items should also be set.
<DHCP> If you set DHCP to Use, the IP address of the projector is assigned automatically by the DHCP server. If your network environment does not assign IP addresses automatically, set DHCP to Not use, then set the following items IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway manually.
<IP address> When DHCP is set to Not use, consult with your network administrator for the settings below and set the IP address manually. An IP address is a unique number assigned to a terminal. The format is a string of four dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)
Note: If you set the same IP address for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN,
network function may fail to operate properly.
<Subnet mask> A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal belongs to. (Example: 255.255.xxx.xxx) Note: If you set the same subnet work for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN,
network function may fail to operate properly.
<Gateway> This value specifies the IP address of the device, such as a router, to be used to access servers outside the network. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)

[Security for wireless LAN settings]
• <Network authentication>
Set the authentication to enhance network security. Select a method identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be connected with.
<Encryption> Set Encryption according to the setting you made for Network authentication, as follows. When you have set Network authentication to Open or Shared, select WEP for Encryption. When you have set Network authentication to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, select TKIP or AES for Encryption.
Note:
Network authentication is factory-set to None. If you use the projector with this setting left unchanged, security may be compromised due to access by a third party within the projector’s coverage.
<Key index> When you have set Encryption to WEP, Key index must be set. By default, “1” is selected. Select a key index identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be connected with. Note: Since the range of key index varies by product type (1 to 4 or 0 to 3), make
settings with attention.
<Network key>
When you have set Encryption to [WEP]:
For use at an encryption level of 64-bit, specify a string of 5 arbitrary characters or a
string of 10 characters in hexadecimal notation. For use at the 128-bit level, specify a string of 13 arbitrary characters or a string of 26
characters in hexadecimal notation.
When you have set Encryption to [TKIP]/[AES]:
Specify a string of 8 to 63 arbitrary characters or a string of 64 characters in hexadecimal notation.
Note 1: Alphabetic characters (A to F, a to f) used in hexadecimal notation are not
case sensitive; the uppercase characters and their lowercase equivalents are handled to be identical.
Note 2: The longer the strings of characters set for the Network key, the stronger the
encryption becomes, and hence the harder it will be for a third party to decipher your communications. However, the setting of larger encryption may slow down communication speed.
Note 3: To set a higher security level, specify a longer string of characters. For
higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary and change the key sometimes.
<Setting initialization> This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults.

[Wired LAN settings]
<DHCP> If you set DHCP to Use, the IP address of the projector is assigned automatically by the DHCP server. If your network environment does not assign IP addresses automatically, set DHCP to Not use, then set the following items IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway manually.
<IP address> When DHCP is set to Not use, consult with your network administrator for the settings below and set the IP address manually. An IP address is a unique number assigned to a terminal. The format is a string of four dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)
Note: If you set the same IP address for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN,
network function may fail to operate properly.
<Subnet mask> A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal belongs to. (Example: 255.255.xxx.xxx) Note: If you set the same subnet work for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN,
network function may fail to operate properly.
<Gateway> This value specifies the IP address of the device, such as a router, to be used to access servers outside the network. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)

Lamp replacement

A lamp is a consumable item. If used for extended periods, images will appear dark, and the lamp could burn out. This is characteristic of a lamp, and is not malfunction. (The lifetime of the lamp depends on condition of use.) If this happens, replace it with a new one.
WARNING
If the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it is strongly recommended that you
contact your sales representative when the lamp has to be exchanged. Do not attempt to replace the lamp by yourself.
If you uncover the lamp while the projector is mounted on a ceiling, there may be a danger of damage from falling pieces of glass if the lamp is broken, resulting in possible injury. In addition, working at high elevations can also be potentially hazardous. Do not attempt to replace the lamp by yourself.
Always use lamp “PJ Replacement Lamp Type1” (sold separately) when
replacing the lamp.
Using a lamp other than the one specified may cause a malfunction or damage to the unit due to the difference in the connector shape or the lamp rate.
CAUTION
If you have been using the projector, the lamp will be very hot, and may cause
burn injuries. Wait 1 hour or longer for the lamp to cool before replacing it.
If the lamp should break, please handle with care to avoid injury due to broken
pieces and contact your sales representative for repair service.

Notes and Precautions
The [Lamp time] item in the Status display menu indicates the time of lamp use. (Use
• it as a rough estimate or guide for lamp life.) Please replace the lamp after 2000 hours of use if [Lamp power] in the Default setting
1 menu is set to [Standard], or after 3000 hours of use if [Lamp power] in the Default setting 1 menu is set to [Low].
There may be cases where the lamp stops working before the above mentioned period
• expires or before the replacement message is displayed. Attach the outer lamp cover correctly so that it is secure and not loose. If it is not
• attached correctly, the projector may fail to turn on or the lamp may fail to come on. Always replace the lamp with a new one.
• The lamp is made out of glass. Do not touch the glass surface with your bare hands, bang
• it, or scratch it. Since dirt, jolts, scratches and other similar particles may affect the lamp.
About lamp replacement messages

Notes
• When dirt and dust build up in the air filter, the air circulation inside the projector is affected and the internal temperature will rise, causing the projector to stop working or malfunction.
• Push the air filter fully in. If the projector is used with the air filter only partially inserted, dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.
• If you wash the air filer with water, make sure you dry it thoroughly before replacing it.
• If the air filter becomes damaged, replace it. Contact your sales representative for a new filter. If you continue to use the projector when its filter is damaged, dust and dirt will enter the interior and this could cause the projector to stop working or break down.
