the network by eliminating those
parts of the address that are alike
for all the machines on the net-
work.
❖❖❖❖Gateway Address
A gateway is a connection or inter-
change point that connects two
networks. A gateway address is for
the router or host computer used

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.

-Small Size Print Area
This printer supports printing on print areas such as “A4 Small” and “Letter
Small” when printing from a Macintosh only with specific versions of the driver.
The LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) driver supports printing on both standard and
small print areas. However, with LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), the small print
area options are not displayed.
With LaserWriter 8.3x (or earlier), select A4, for example, and click [Options] in
the [Page Setup] dialog box, then use the [Larger Print Area] option. Checking [Larg-
er Print Area] produces the same printing result as LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) stan-
dard A4 print area. Unchecking the [Larger Print Area] produces the same result
as the LaserWriter 8.4x (or later) “A4 Small” print area.
