1. Before You Begin
3. Make sure your ink is 5% or more when you are done printing for the day or plan on
leaving your printer idle for a few hours.
While you can continue to print using cartridges with less than 5% remaining, the machine's
vital automated maintenance sequences require at least 5% or more in order to complete. If
you do not have replacement ink available, you can fill your printer with cleaning fluid. For
details, see page 217, "Preparing Your Printer for Storage/Shipping".
4. Perform a nozzle check daily, so you can spot and quickly address potential issues
with the printer.
5. Check the following websites to ensure that your printer and software firmware are
completely up to date.
Firmware: Ricoh website of the country that you are in
Software: Use latest dated version of the following.
