15: Printing is Too Slow


Verify the Quality mode you are printing in. The three modes available are Draft, Speed, and
Fine. The Speed and Fine modes increase the printing resolution and lay down more ink and
increase the printing time.

Do not run too many programs on your computer at the same time. Close any application
programs not related to running the Ri printer.

Delete unnecessary files to make room on your hard disk drive.

Check your graphics application programs to see if there is any setting which may slow down the
computer. Close graphic files and applications that you are not currently printing.

Reboot your computer to free up resources.

The computer may not have enough memory. If the problem persists, consider increasing the
RAM in the computer.

The computer may not have sufficient capacity to run the application and/or RIP program. If this
is the case, consider upgrading your computer to one with higher speed and capacity.
16: When the <PRINT> Button is Pressed, the Obstruction Sensor is
Triggered

Remove everything on the Print Table, and send a short print job from the computer. When the
Print Ready LED lights up, press the <PRINT> button. If the Obstruction Sensor is triggered
immediately, the Obstruction Sensor may be faulty or the Print Table may be set too high. Try
one or more of the following solutions.

Adjust the Print Table height to the correct level. (See Chapter 4: Printer Operation, Section 5,
Adjustment of Print Table).

Contact a certified RICOH Ri 3000/Ri 6000 Technician.

17: Print Table Does Not Travel All the Way to the Front or Rear

Fully power down the printer off and move the Print Table by hand. Move the table all the way to the
front (Load Position) and then push it all the way to the rear (Home Position). Pull and push firmly but do
not force it. Check behind the table when it is out for obstructions. If lubrication is needed, do not
attempt to lubricate it without the assistance of a certified RICOH Ri 3000/Ri 6000 technician.
