Using the Debug Log
D131/D132/D133 5-32 SM
You can select any number of keys from 1 to 10 (or all) by entering the corresponding 4-digit
numbers from the table.
One area of the disk is reserved to store the debug log. The size of this area is limited to 4
MB.
5.7.2 RETRIEVING THE DEBUG LOG FROM THE HDD
1. Insert the SD card into SD slot 2.
2. Enter the SP mode and execute SP5857-009 (HDD for SD (4MB)) to write the debugging
data to the SD card.
3. Use a card reader to copy the file and send it for analysis to your local Ricoh representative
by email, or just send the SD card by mail.
5.7.3 MORE ABOUT DEBUG LOG
SP5857-015: SD to SD (Any)
This SP copies the log on an SD card (the file that contains the information written directly from
shared memory) to a log specified by key number. The copy operation is executed in the log
directory of the SD card inserted in the same slot. (This function does not copy from one slot to
another.)
Each SD card can hold up to 4 MB of file data. Unique file names are created for the data
during the copy operation to prevent overwriting files of the same name. This means that log
data from more than one machine can be copied onto the same SC card.
This command does not execute if there is no log on the HDD for the name of the specified
key.
SP5857-016: Make HDD LogFile
This SP creates a 32 MB file to store a log on the HDD. However, this is not a completely empty
file. The created file will hold the number “2225” as the SCS key number and other non-volatile
information.
Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the HDD when the first log is stored on the
HDD, but this operation takes time. This creates the possibility that the machine may be
switched off and on before the log can be created completely.
If you execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of
time required to acquire the log information and save onto the HDD. With the file already
created on the HDD for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded; a new log file does not
require creation.
To create a new log file, execute SP5857-011 to delete the debug log data from the HDD and
then execute this SP (SP5857-016).
