Ricoh Ri 100 Operating Instructions Manual page 12

• Printing hundreds of copies in a single day might cause the print head to clog the following day. If
this happens, perform the head cleaning procedure.
• This machine performs regular automatic maintenance, after and during printing, to ensure
consistent print quality. Maintenance is also performed when printing begins after a period of
disuse.
• Color ink may be used even if you print all-black text or if you specify black and white printing. It
may also be used for print head cleaning and refreshing, which are done to maintain machine
performance.
• If the machine will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable or
Ethernet cable, and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you do not use the machine for
three months or longer, clean the internal compartments using the dedicated cleaning cartridge in
advance. For the cleaning method, see page 137 "Clean Internals". Because the machine
consumes a lot of ink for maintenance and print head cleaning when turned on after a long period
of inactivity, we recommend you use the machine at least once a month.
• Do not move the machine while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the machine is on a
level surface and safe from shock and vibration.
• Do not turn the machine off while it is busy. Make sure the machine is idle before turning it off.
