WHERE TO PUT THE PRINTER The printer’s location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance. Warning • Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily. • Only connect the machine to the power source described on this sheet. • Avoid multi-wiring. • Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire. Caution • Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. A fire or an electric shock might occur. • Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, the machine might fall and cause personal injury. • If you use the machine in a confined space, confirm that there is a continuous flow of air.

2. Installing Options

R CAUTION: • Before installing options, the machine should be turned off and unplugged for at least thirty minutes. Components inside the machine become very hot, and can cause a burn injury if touched. • Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard. • When lifting the machine, use the inset grips on both sides. The machine could break or cause an injury if dropped. • It is recommended that at least two persons are used to lift the printer. Oth- erwise, the printer might fall and cause personal injury.

You can increase the functionality of the printer by adding options. The follow-

ing options can be installed on the printer. Reference For more information about the options, see "Options" in the "Printer Refer- ence" included as a PDF file on the CD-ROM. Do not use options other than those specified in this manual. 1.

4. Installing the Printer Driver

and Software This manual assumes that you are familiar with general Windows procedures and practices. If you are not, see the documentation that comes with Windows for details. Installation Method The following table shows how to install the printer drivers and software. *1 Available operating systems are as follows: Windows 95/98/Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 *2 Recommended for most users. *3 Recommended for network printing users. *4 Recommended for expert users. Reference For more information about the printer drivers, see P.3 “Printer Drivers for This Printer”. For installing the printer drivers, see P.38 “Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver”or P.42 “Installing the RICOH-SCRIPT2 Printer Driver”. For more information about the software and utilities, see P.4 “Software and Utilities Included on the CD-ROM”. Important ❒Before starting this installation, close all documents and applications. In a net- work environment, confirm that users who are logged on are disconnected. Be sure to do this when it will create the least interference with other users. ❒After installing a printer driver, you must restart the computer.

Installing the Printer Driver and Software

36 4 Note ❒If the "plug and play" function is started, click [Cancel] in the [New Hardware Found], [Device Driver Wizard] or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box, and then insert the CD-ROM. The [New Hardware Found], [Device Driver Wizard] or [Found New Hardware Wizard] dialog box appears depending on the system ver- sion of the Windows 95/98/Me or Windows 2000. ❒The appropriate language name is used for the CD-ROM folder: ENGLISH (English), DEUTSCH (German), FRANCAIS (French), ITALIANO (Italian), ESPANOL (Spanish), NEDRLNDS (Dutch), NORSK (Norwegian), DANSK (Danish), SVENSKA (Swedish) ❖❖❖❖User Codes User Codes are eight digit codes that allow you to keep track of printing done under each code. To use this feature, the network administrator should assign User Codes and inform users of them before they install the printer driver. • With the IPDL-C printer driver, if you want to set a User Code, you must do it when installing the printer driver. • With the RICOH-SCRIPT2 printer driver, only [Off] or [On] can be selected. The numerical value cannot be changed. If [On] is selected, “99999999” is automatically set as a default. So if you want to distinguish between the RICOH-SCRIPT2 and IPDL-C printer drivers, set the different User Code in the IPDL-C printer driver. • In Windows 95/98/Me, if you want to change the User Code, reinstalling the printer driver is required. • In Windows 95/98/Me, changing the printer name makes the User Code ineffective. If you want to set the User Code again, reinstalling the printer driver is required. - - - -Using the Shared Printer on Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 for Windows 95/98/Me Client If you want to share the printer on Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, install the printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me for an alternate driver. Note ❒When using the alternate driver function with the Windows NT 4.0, use the Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or later. For more information about installing the printer driver as an alternate driver, see P.39 “Windows 2000 - Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver” or P.40 “Windows NT 4.0 - Installing the IPDL-C Printer Driver”.

R CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not fol- lowed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property. • Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex- tension cord. • Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily. • Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or damaged. • To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this man- ual. • Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the following conditions exist: • You spill something into the equipment. • You suspect that your equipment needs service or repair. • Your equipment's cover has been damaged. • Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame. • Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or appropriate col- lection site. • If you dispose of the used toner containers yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.

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. • When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable). • Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the equipment. • Do not eat or swallow toner. • Keep toner (used or unused) and toner cartridge out of reach of children. • For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the equipment or expended supplies at a household waste collection point.
