Printer Id - Ricoh G031 Service Manual

4.2.5 PRINTER ID

Overview
The user can buy fonts and install them in the printer hard disk. The font software
uses the printer ID to prevent the fonts from being downloaded to several printers
illegally. The fonts must be downloaded to one printer only.
The original printer ID is stored in the NVRAM on the printer control board in the
factory. The serial number of the printer control board is used for the ID. When the
printer control board is replaced in the field, the old NVRAM is installed on the new
board. In this case, the printer ID does not need to be restored.
When the NVRAM is cleared or changed because of a hardware problem, the
original printer ID must be restored.
Restoring the Printer ID
The printer ID can be stored using the service program mode as follows.
1. Turn on the printer while pressing the "Online" key and
"Escape" key together to enter the service menu.
