Manuals For This Printer - Ricoh GelSprinter GX e5550n User Manual

• This printer is designed to have an operational life of 5 years or be good for 200,000 pages.
• Depending on your printing document, the ink collector unit may fill up sooner than normal.
An "Ink Collector almost full" message appears shortly before the ink collector unit is full. Although
the printer remains usable until the unit is completely full, contact your sales or service representative
as early as possible (charge incurred).
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being removed
from their packaging.
• Cartridges that are no longer usable for printing reserve a small quantity of ink for maintenance usage.
• Print cartridges and supplies comply with the manufacturer's safety specifications. To ensure safety
and reliability, use genuine print cartridges and supplies.
• Single-sided copies are printed at higher density than duplex-printed copies.
• For print quality and consistency, this printer always uses all the available ink colors (black, cyan,
yellow, and magenta) to produce print images. Even if your print image is black and white or [Black
and White] is selected in the printer properties dialog box, all ink colors will still be used.
• Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a color ink such
as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white. If a message
prompting you to change the print cartridge appears, change the cartridge as soon as possible.
• 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 printer 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 printer performance.
• If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and unplug
the power cord from the wall outlet. Because the printer consumes a lot of ink for maintenance and
print head cleaning when switched on after a long period of inactivity, we recommended you use the
printer at least once a month.
• Do not move the printer while it is powered. Even when it is off, make sure the printer is on a level
surface and safe from shock and vibration.
• Do not switch the printer off while it is busy. Make sure the printer is idle before switching it off.
• Condensation can form inside the printer if it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Allow any
condensation to fully evaporate by not switching the printer on for at least an hour after moving it.
