Safety Information When using your equipment, the following safety precautions should always be followed. Safety During Operation In this manual, the following important symbols are used: R WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instruc- tions are not followed, could result in death or serious injury. R CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or dam-...
Page 5 RCAUTIONS • Protect the equipment from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow, and so on. • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the equipment. While moving the equipment, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the equipment.

Low-power mode (Energy Saver mode). This printer automatically lowers its power consumption 60 minutes after the last operation has been completed. To exit Low-power (Energy Saver) mode, press any key on the operation panel. To change the setting of the Energy Saver mode, see page 99.
Page 7: Color Guide
CMY color model. When mixed in equal proportions the CMY color model produces black. Note CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. Your printer uses CMY toner plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing.
Page 8 Color Guide The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta, and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa. Two colors of one model are mixed to produce the color of the other model (mixing blue and green produces cyan, for example).
Page 9 Printed Color Your printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model. Note Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black, but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce a muddy or dark brown.
Page 10: Example Of Color Adjustments Using The Printer Driver
Quality Settings Resolution Resolution is the number of dots the printer can print within one inch. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the printed image. Resolution is expressed in units of dpi, which stands for dots per inch.
Page 11 Toner Saving Turning on Toner Saving reduces the amount of toner used for printing. This setting does not help to improve printout quality, but instead is used when printing preliminary drafts of a document. Limitation • Turning on the Toner Saving can cause output to become blurred and re- sult in very thin lines not printing at all.
Page 12 Color Settings The colors produced by the printer do not exactly match those you see on your monitor. This is because the computer uses the reflected color model (RGB) while the printer uses the emitted color model (CMYK). For details, see => P.iv “Color Printing Basics”.
Page 13 Brightness This setting controls the overall brightness of the image. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side increase brightness, while moving it to the minus (-) side decreases brightness. Contrast This setting controls the range between the darkest and lightest shade of an image.
Page 14 Color Balance These settings let you control the relative intensity of the individual colors of the additive color model (red, green, blue). Note The position of the color bar also affects the complementary color relation- ship. Red, for example, is printed using magenta and yellow toner, so in- creasing the level of red also decreases the level of cyan.

RICOH-SCRIPT2 prints text, graphics, images, and just about any other type of complex data. - Interpreter An interpreter is software that analyzes PostScript data and converts it to print- able data. RICOH-SCRIPT2 converts PostScript data into data that can be print- ed by your printer.
Page 246: Printing With The Ricoh-Script2
Monochrome/Color printing RICOH-SCRIPT2 supports monochrome and full color printing. Image printing modes RICOH-SCRIPT2 supports two different image printing modes. One is suit- able for printing photographs, and the other for text. Built-in color profiles RICOH-SCRIPT2 comes with three color profiles (Photograph, Presentation, and Solid Color).
