Chapter 4: Printer Operation
1: First Time Start up Sequence
When you first setup the printer, please refer to the procedures in Chapter 2: Start Up of a New Printer.
2: Power up Sequence
The power up sequence consists of two power switches. First turn on the main power switch on the rear
of the printer. Next press the Control Panel <POWER> button to turn on the printer. A splash screen will
appear on the display showing the Ricoh logo and the power up sequence will begin. The Print Table will
move forward to the Load Position. When the power up sequence is properly completed, the following
display (in Figure 4.2-1) will show in the LCD.

3: Power down Sequence
The power down sequence is the reverse of the power up sequence. Make sure the Print Head Carriage
is over the Maintenance Station. If it is not power the Printer off in the back and restart to return all
components to home position. Power the printer down from the Control Panel power key and then the
power switch located on the back. It is recommended that the printer be kept powered on at all times
when ink is loaded in the system, even if the printer is not used, unless the printer is filled with cleaning
solution and is in storage. Keeping the printer powered on prevents the Print Head from drying. A
minimal amount of ink is used to keep the Print Head wet. If the Print Head dries up, the Head Cleaning
operation to restore it will consume more ink than keeping the Print Head wet during idle times. In
certain cases, the dried Print Head may not recover.
