Symptom Corrected / Other Changes:
When an SC or other error occurs in a mainframe connected to an NRS system, the machine does not report the error condition.
Version change only
When a Ricoh toner bottle with a broken toner key is set in the machine, the “Set the toner bottle” message is not displayed.
l Other Changes:
1. The following Sp modes have been added.
SP5-993-001: Dew Removal [ON or OFF/OFF/-]
Performs a free-run on the laser optics unit to ensure that dew does not form on the components of the unit.
“ON”: Performed every time the main power is turned on.
SP5-994-001: CTL-Fan: [ON or OFF/ ON/-]
Stops the controller fan or lets it continue at job end.
“OFF”: Stops the fan 5 seconds after job end.
Note: If the HDD is installed, do not turn this SP OFF.
l Symptom Corrected:
1. Character display error (Finnish, Portuguese).
2. Translation error (Spanish): “[ Imprimir resumen à Reanudar impr ]”.
3. When a network error occurs and Email alert is ON, the Menu key cannot be used (max. 20 minutes).
4. The machine lets the operator print label sheets in duplex mode.
The following Sp mode has been added to reduce banding:
0: OFF
1: ON
Note: When this Sp is ON, the machine feeds a sheet into the development unit only after the sheet before it leaves the fusing unit. The print time for one sheet is 3.75sec longer than normal mode.
1. Machine sometimes does not recover from an error condition induced by a paper jam that occurs at paper end, even when the jam itself is cleared.
2. Print jobs set with Letterhead ON sometimes do not start if the machine is in the toner near end condition.
3. A single-page image is sometimes separated and printed onto two pages (For example with the first printed in CM and second printed in YK) when the job is performed with Slip sheet mode ON just following the paper end condition if the machine is in the toner near end condition.
