CAUTIONS and NOTES  
Warning  
Handling of ink cartridges  
Front cover and lever  
• The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that • Never open the front cover or raise the lever during  
the ink recommended by this company is used. For  
safe usage of this machine, use the ink recommend  
by this company  
• Never refill the ink pack and white ink cartridge with  
ink. Refilled ink cartridge can cause a trouble.  
Remember that RICOH assumes no responsibility for  
any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridge  
replenished with ink.  
printing. Opening the cover or raising the lever will  
abort printing.  
Handling of media  
• Use media recommended by RICOH to ensure  
reliable, high-quality printing.  
• Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics  
of the media.  
Set the temperature of the Pre-heater, Print heater and  
Post-heater according to the type and characteristics  
of the media used. Automatic temperature setting can  
be made on the operation panel by setting the profile  
on the dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, refer to  
the instruction manual for your RIP.  
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a  
warm place, leave it in the room temperature for three  
hours or more before using it.  
• Open the ink cartridge just before installing it in the  
machine. If it is opened and left for an extended  
period of time, normal printing performance of the  
machine may not be ensured.  
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark  
place.  
• Store ink cartridges and waste ink bottle in a place  
that is out of the reach of children.  
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink  
cartridge, once it is opened, within three months. If an  
extended period of time has passed away after  
opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would be  
poor.  
• Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the  
media.  
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The  
media can be affected by the room temperature and  
humidity, and thus it may expand and contract.The  
media have to be left in the atmosphere in which they  
are to be used for 30 minutes or more after unpacked.  
• Do not use curled media.  
The use of curled media can not only cause a media  
jam but also affect print quality.  
Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled,  
before using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated  
sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side  
has to face outside.  
• Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long  
time.  
• Neither pound the Eco-cartridge nor shake it violently,  
as doing so can cause leakage of ink.  
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge,  
as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit  
board.  
• Consult your sales or service representative for  
proper disposal of ink cartridge, ink pack, and waste  
ink. Otherwise, commission an industrial waste  
disposal company.  
Protection of media from dust  
• Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated on  
media will adversely affect the media due to static  
electricity.  
• When leaving the workshop after the working hours,  
do not leave any media on the roll hanger. If any  
media is left on the roll hanger, it can get dusty.  
Warning  
Notes on maintenance  
• It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is not dusty.  
• Keep the front cover closed even when the machine is not printing. If not, dust can accumulate on the nozzles  
in the heads.  
• Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a  
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, make sure to wear the attached gloves.  
• Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the capping station and wiper frequently.  
Periodic replacement parts  
• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one periodically by service personnel. Be sure to  
make a contract with your distributor or dealer for After sale service to ensure a long life of your machine.  
Disposition of this machine  
• Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal of this machine. Otherwise, commission an  
industrial waste disposal company.

Heater  
Pre-heater/Print heater/Post-heater are equipped on the Media Transfer Surface.  
The Pre-heater is used for pre-heating of the media prior to printing to prevent rapid changes in temperature.  
The Print-heater improves the image quality in printing.The Post-heater and drying-heater dries ink after  
printing.  
• While the heater is on, the Media Transfer Surface is very hot.When the front cover is to be  
opened or media is to be replaced, lower the heater temperatures and wait until the Media  
Transfer Surface temperature drops;otherwise, you can get burned.  
• When the media is to be replaced with a thin one, lower the heater temperatures and wait until  
the Media Transfer Surface temperature drops adequately.Setting a thin sheet of media while  
the Media Transfer Surface is hot may cause the media to stick to the Media Transfer Surface  
or cause wrinkling or curling of the media.

About the ink that can be used with this machine  
The following three types of ink sets can be used with this machine: 4 color, 6 color, and 6 color+white versions  
4-color version: 2 each of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black ink cartridges are used.  
6-color version: 1 each of Yellow, Orange, Green, and Black, 2 each of Cyan and Magenta ink cartridges are  
used.  
6-color+white version: 1 each of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Orange, Green and Black, and 2 White ink  
cartridges are used.  
White ink is fed from an ink cartridge, but the inks for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Orange, Green and Black are  
supplied from an ink-pack. Set the inks in the eco case before you set the ink cartridge. Also, the white ink is  
contained in a eco cartridge that is shorter in length than the cartridge of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Orange,  
Green and Black inks.  
Slowly shake the white ink cartridge more than twenty times right and left.  
1
To prevent ink from leaking when you shake the Eco-cartridge, wear gloves and firmly cover the A part  
of the upper surface of the cartridge and the B part of the bottom surface of the Eco-cartridge with paper  
towels. Then, shake it more than twenty times right and left so that ink flows inside the cartridge.  
• If you shake it too strong, the pack inside may be damaged and it may cause ink  
leakage. Therefore, perform this carefully.  
• If the remaining amount of ink is less, ink in the Eco-cartridge cannot be beaten enough.  
Tilt the cartridge until it becomes vertical.  
• When you use white ink:

Caution in handling of ink cartridges  
• If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes with a lot of clean running water for at  
least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the eyess to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult  
a doctor as soon as possible.  
• Depending on how the machine is used, the [INK END] message may be displayed even if the  
[INK NEAR END] message is not yet displayed. The remaining amount of ink in a cartridge is  
calculated based on the printed data and the estimated amount of ink used by maintenance  
processes, and may not show the actual amount of ink in the cartridge.  
• Use genuine ink cartridges for this machine. This machine functions by recognizing the  
genuine ink cartridges. In case of troubles caused by modified ink cartridges or the like, it shall  
be out of the warranty even within the warranty period.  
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature  
for three hours or more before using it.  
• Make sure to store ink cartridges in a cool and dark place.  
1
• Store ink cartridges and waste ink bottle in a place that is out of the reach of children.  
• Request an industrial waste processor for processing of the ink cartridges that are no longer  
required.  
• Do not shake ink cartridges violently. This may result in ink leakage from the Eco-cartridges.  
• Do not refill the ink in the ink-pack and white ink cartridge. This may result in troubles.  
RICOH will not bear any responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridges  
refilled with ink.  
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridge. This may cause damages on printed  
circuit boards.  
• Do not disassemble the white ink cartridge.

Caution in handling of medias  
Pay attention to the followings for handling of medias.  
When handling media, wear the gloves.  
If you touch the media with your bare hand, the media may be stained due to fingerprints or oil of your  
finger. Be careful about it.  
Do not leave the media with the heater ON for a long time.  
Waviness may occur on the media and it may cause media clogging.  
When the pinch roller is at the lower position, even if it is for a short time, impression produced by the  
pinch roller is left depending on the media material. Perform test feeding (  
media status.  
P.2-19) to check the  
Use media recommended by RIOCH to ensure reliable, high-quality printing.  
Set the heater temperature to meet the characteristics of the media.  
Set the temperature of the Pre-heater, Print heater and Post-heater according to the type and  
characteristics of the media used.  
Automatic temperature setting can be made on the operation panel by setting the profile on the  
dedicated RIP. For setting on the RIP, refer to the instruction manual for your RIP.  
Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the media.  
Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The media can be affected by the room temperature  
and humidity, and thus it may expand and contract.  
The media have to be left in the atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30 minutes or more after  
unpacked.  
Do not use curled media.  
This may result in paper jamming.  
If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside.  
Be careful to dusts on the edge face of the medium.  
Some rolls have dusts contained in the package gathered on the edge surface of the roll. If you use as  
it is, the drawing quality may be degraded due to nozzle missing or ink drops. Be sure to set the roll  
after removing dusts adhering on the edge face of the roll.  
• Use a media wider than 450 mm when performing the ink drop position correction for bidirectional  
printing. Correcting the ink drop position for bidirectional printing cannot be performed on narrower  
media. Use unidirectional printing in such a case. Also, select [STRONG] in the [VACUUM] setting if the  
media is not securely adhered to the media transfer surface when using a media such as narrow media.

Cautions about Turning the Power OFF  
Q Do not turn the main power switch OFF.  
When the main power switch is ON, the power periodically turns ON and the nozzle clogging prevention  
function (flushing function) operate.  
When the main power switch has been turned OFF, the auto maintenance functions, such as flushing, do  
not operate, and this may cause nozzle clogging.  
Q Keep the front cover and the maintenance cover closed.  
If the cover is opened, the auto maintenance function such as the flushing function does not work.  
Q Turn the power OFF after having checked the position of the head.  
If the power is turned OFF in a state where the head has not returned to the capping station, the head  
dries, which may cause nozzle clogging.  
In this case, turn the power ON again and check that the head has returned to the capping station, and  
then turn the power OFF.  
Q Do not turn the power OFF during printing.  
The head may not return to the capping station.  
Q After having turned the power switch OFF, turn the main power switch OFF.  
When turning the main power switch off for moving the machine or for solving the error or the like, press  
the power switch on the front of the machine, check the display is turned off on the operation panel, and

• Take care not to drop the media on a foot or so when the media is set. It may cause an  
injury due to the media.  
• There is a cutter inside the machine for cutting the print media. Do not touch any  
parts other than the ones described in this manual when loading and replacing paper,  
removing jammed paper, and cleaning the media transfer surface.  
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught inside the machine and injured when replac-  
ing paper.  
• Be careful not to get your fingers caught inside the machine when opening and clos-  
ing the cover of the paper feed section.  
• Hold the roll paper horizontally with both of your hands. When the roll paper is set in  
the paper holder, the paper may fall off from the folder and cause injury if you hold  
the holder vertically.

Set the media feeding  
Correct the feeding rate of media.  
If the correction value is not appropriate, stripes may appear on the printed image, thus resulting in a poor  
printing.  
• When you have changed the media type, check the pattern and perform adjustment depending on the  
status.  
• When you have changed the temperature of the heaters, make sure that the [CONSTANT] lamp lights  
up and that the preset temperature is reached, and then start the correction.  
• When using a roll medium, rewind the medium by hand before printing so that it is not loose. When  
the roll medium has not been rewound tightly, it may cause image quality to deteriorate.  
• When printing with a take-up device, set the media first and then perform media correction.

• Two bands are printed in the correction pattern.  
• Make adjustment so that an even color density is obtained in the boundary between the two bands.  
• If the correction pattern that has been printed on a media such as transparent film is difficult to  
discern, feed the media forward so that the printed area is out of the drying heater, place a sheet of  
paper on the back of the media, and then rewind the media.  
• When making adjustment to the media-feeding rate, use of a magnifying glass is recommended.

Correct the ink drop position for bidirectional printing  
When the condition for printing (media thickness/head height/etc.) has been changed, perform the following  
operation to correct the ink drop position for bidirectional (Bi) printing and obtain the proper printing result.  
Example of a Drop Position correct Printed Pattern  
• The correction pattern for aligning the ink drop position cannot be printed on a media whose width is  
less than 450 mm. Print quality cannot be guaranteed in such a case. Use unidirectional printing.

Maintenance  
Maintain the machine regularly or as necessary so that its accuracy will be maintained and it can continue to be  
used for a long time.  
Precautions for Maintenance  
Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this machine.  
• When using Cleaning Fluid for maintenance, be sure to wear the supplied protective glasses.  
• The ink contains organic solvent.When cleaning the machine, be sure to wear gloves so that  
no ink will make direct contact with your skin.  
• Never disassemble the machine.Disassembling it can result in electric shock hazards or  
damage to the machine.  
Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power switch and main power switch, and unplug  
the power cable;otherwise, an unexpected accident may occur.  
• Prevent moisture from entering the machine.Moisture inside the machine can cause electric  
shock hazards or damage to the machine.  
• To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the machine to eject a small amount of ink  
(flushing) regularly when a printing (outputting) operation has not been performed for a long  
time.  
• When the machine is not to be used for a long time, turn off only the power switch on the front  
side, leave the main power switch at the side turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the  
power cable connected.  
• If organic solvent ink is mixed with water or alcohol, coagulation is generated.  
Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, wiper, caps, etc. with water or alcohol.Doing so can  
cause nozzle clogging or machine failure.  
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical agent containing an abrasive.Such materials  
can deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.  
• Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside the machine. Doing so can cause printing  
failure.

Troubleshooting  
Media get jammed / media is soiled  
• Do not open or remove the cover or screws other than the ones described in this manual. The  
machine contains parts that are charged with high voltage and cause electrical-shock hazard. For the  
checkout, maintenance, or repair of the machine's internal parts, contact your service representative.  
• Never disassemble or remodel the machine. Doing so may result in fire or electrical-shock hazard.  
• There is a cutter inside the machine for cutting print media. Do not touch any other parts other than  
the ones described in this manual when replacing media or removing jammed media. Doing so may  
result in injury.  
• Be careful not to get your fingers get caught inside the machine and injured when removing jammed  
media.  
• Always wear gloves when removing the jammed media if the ink on the media has not yet dried. Also,  
be careful not to touch the wet printed surface with your clothes.

• In order to remove the jammed media, open the front cover, pull out the media from the front side of  
the machine, and then cut the media.  
• Be careful not to rip the media and leave a small piece of it inside the machine when removing  
jammed media. If a piece of media is left inside the machine, it may cause paper jam to occur again. It  
may also cause the machine to malfunction.  
• Be careful not to let the ink on the printed side of the jammed media to come in contact with the  
interior surface of the machine. It may cause the back side of the media to get dirtied. If the back side  
of the media gets dirtied after removing a jammed media, clean the media transfer surface.  
For the procedure for cleaning the media transfer surface, see P.4-3 "Cleaning the Media Transfer  
Surface".  
• If media jam occurs repeatedly, consult your service representative.  
• A media being jammed or dirtied may be caused by the problem of the media itself or how it has been  
set.

• When an ink precipitates, the nozzle may be clogged and it can not draw normally.  
• Make sure to perform periodical maintenance to avoid precipitation and to keep white ink in good condition.  
• Perform the maintenance below before working once a week.  
• Use the specified ink cartridge.  
• When you use white ink:
