Befor e You Print
Before printing with the SubliJet-R inks perform a nozzle check using the printer driver to ensure you have all
colours printing.
1. Navigate to the ‘Printers’ configuration window in your operating system. Right click on ‘RICOH
Afici oSG3110DNw RPCS-R’ and choose 'Printing Preferences'.
2. Click the ‘Maintenance’ tab.
3. Select ‘Nozzle Check’ and follow the prompts.
4. The pattern should look like the one shown below (Figure 19).
5. If you have breaks in t he nozzle check pattern (Figure 20) run the cleaning process (no more than three
times) followed by a nozzle check pattern after each.
Important: Do not over-clean the Ricoh as this just wastes ink and in most cases, the nozzle check pattern
will deteriorate rather than improve.

General Printer Maintenance
• It is advisable to alw a ys leave your printer turned on when not in use, this will enable the automatic
maintenance mode to function which will ensure you printer works flawlessly time after time.
• If you are not going to print regularly then perform a nozzle check or send a small test print to the printer
every 2-3 days. This helps to prevent ink from drying on the bottom of the print head.
• NEVER allow the printer to sit with the print head away from the docking station. If the print head is
anywhere other than the docking station (furthest to the right of the printer) then the bottom of the print
head is not being cappe d off and is open to the air. This will always allow ink to dry on the bottom of the
print head and prev e nt the noz z les working correctly.
• DO NOT remove the cartridges from the printer unnecessarily. If you are having problems printing, follow
the guidelines in the following page first . Cart ri dg e s should only be removed as the LAST resort as this will
introduce air into the system and can make it even more difficult to get the printer working co rrectly.
• NEVER perform huge amounts of continuous head cleans. If a printer is not working within 3-4 head cleans
there is usually something wrong.
• I have actually had c ustomer call me after ‘head cleaning 50-60 times without success’ – result: probably a
dead printer .
