1. Safety Information for This Machine
• If the ink cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it in the room temperature
for 3 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.
• Be sure to thoroughly consume the ink in the ink cartridge, once it is opened, within 3 months. If
an extended period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality
would be poor.
• Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridges, flushing cartridges, displacement liquid
cartridges, and cleaning cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
• 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, post-heater, and cure 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, see 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. The use of curled media cannot 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.
• 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 holder.
If any media is left on the roll holder, it can get dusty.
