If documents and reports are not printing from your Ricoh Copier, it may be due to the paper output tray being full. Remove the prints from the tray. Alternatively, there might be no paper left. Load paper into the copier.
What to do if an error has occurred on Ricoh MP 401 spf Copier?
If an error has occurred on your Ricoh Copier, and a function displays the status "Error Occurred" in the [Check Status] screen, press [Check] in the function where the error occurred. Then, review the displayed message and take the appropriate action. You can still use other functions normally.
Why does my Ricoh Copier frequently misfeed?
Frequent misfeeds in your Ricoh Copier can occur if you are using curled paper, which can also cause soiled paper edges or slipped positions during stack printing. Try to straighten out the curl by taking the stiffness out of the paper with your hands. Load the paper upside down so that the curled edges face downward. Also, the tray's side or end fences may not be set properly. Remove any misfed paper and check that the side or end fences are set correctly, ensuring that the side fences are locked.
How to turn on the display on a Ricoh MP 401 spf Copier?
If the display on your Ricoh Copier is off, the machine is likely in Sleep mode. To cancel Sleep mode, press either the [Energy Saver] key or the [Check Status] key.
Why does "Please wait" appear on my Ricoh MP 401 spf?
The message "Please wait" on your Ricoh Copier can appear for several reasons. It might show when you press the [Energy Saver] key, or when the machine is warming up. Wait until the message disappears. Do not turn off the main power switch while the message is displayed. If the machine is not ready in five minutes, turn off the main power switch and make sure the main power indicator turns off. Wait at least ten seconds and then turn the main power switch on again. Also, this message can appear if the current environmental condition is outside the recommended temperature range for the machine. Check the optimum environmental conditions for the machine and move it to a different location, or leave the machine for a while and allow it to adapt to the environment.
Why Ricoh MP 401 spf does not enter Sleep mode?
If the lamp remains lit and your Ricoh Copier does not enter Sleep mode even after pressing the [Energy Saver] key, it could be due to several reasons: The ADF might be open, the machine might be communicating with external equipment, or the hard disk could be active. Close the ADF, check if the machine is communicating with external equipment, or wait a little longer.
What to do if nothing happens when pressing [Check Status] or [Energy Saver] key on Ricoh MP 401 spf?
If nothing happens when you press the [Check Status] key or the [Energy Saver] key on your Ricoh Copier, the main power switch might be turned off. Ensure the main power indicator is off, and then turn on the main power switch.
