Do's and Don'ts

CAUTION:

- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

Important

☐ Do not turn the power off while the On indicator is lit or blinking. Doing so may damage the memory.

☐ Before unplugging the power cord or turning off the main power switch, make sure remaining memory space is at 100%, as shown on the display. See p.16 "Turning Off the Power" and p.16 "Turning Off the Main Power".

- When you use this machine for a long time in a confined space without good ventilation, you may detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace comfortable, we recommend that you keep it well ventilated.

- Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot.

- After making copies continuously, the exposure glass may become warm—this is not a malfunction.

- The area around the ventilation hole might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.

- When the machine is not in use and in stand-by mode, you may hear a small noise inside. This is caused by the image stabilization process and is not a malfunction.

- Do not turn off the operation switch while copying. Make sure all copying has finished first.

- The machine might not produce good copy images if condensation forms inside as a result of rapid temperature change.

- Do not open the covers of the machine while copying. If you do, misfeeds might occur.

- Do not move the machine during copying.

- If you operate the machine improperly or a machine failure occurs, settings might be lost. Be sure to make a note of your machine settings.

- The manufacturer shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from mechanical failure, loss of settings, or use of the machine.

RICOH AFICIO MP 1500 - CAUTION: - 1

CAUTION:

- Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

• Temperature: 10-32 °C (50-89.6 °F) (humidity to be 54% at 32 °C, 89.6 °F)
- Humidity: 15-80% (temperature to be 27 °C, 80.6 °F at 80%)
• A strong and level base.
- The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2 inches: both front to rear, and left to right.
- To avoid possible buildup of ozone, be sure to locate this machine in a large well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m^3/hr/person .

Environments to avoid

  • Locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of strong light (more than 1,500 lux).
  • Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heated air from a heater. (Sudden temperature changes can cause condensation to form inside the machine.)
  • Locations close to machines generating ammonia, such as a diazo copy machine.
  • Places where the machine will be subject to frequent strong vibration.
  • Dusty areas.
  • Areas with corrosive gases.

Moving

RICOH AFICIO MP 1500 - Moving - 1

CAUTION:

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

RICOH AFICIO MP 1500 - CAUTION: - 1

CAUTION:

- Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully out. If not, an injury might occur. After moving the machine, return the four handles to their original positions.

Important

☐ Be careful when moving the machine. Take the following precautions:

  • Turn off the main power. See p.16 "Turning Off the Main Power".
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging the cord, thereby reducing the risk of fire or electric shock.
  • Close all covers and trays, including the front cover and bypass tray.

☐ Do not take off the holding stand.
☐ Protect the machine from strong shocks. Impact can damage the memory.

Power Connection

WARNING:

  • Connect the machine only to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord.
  • Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

CAUTION:

- When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

- When the main power switch is in the stand-by position, the optional anti-condensation heaters are on. In an emergency, unplug the machine's power cord.

- When you unplug the power cord, the anti-condensation heaters turn off.

- Make sure the plug is inserted firmly in the wall outlet.

- Voltage must not fluctuate by more than 10%.

- The wall outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily accessible.

Access to the Machine

Place the machine near the power source, providing the clearance areas shown.

Security

Confidential information is always at risk of being copied without permission or subject to unauthorized access through the network. To protect documents from such intrusion, not only can passwords be set, but also the Extended Security function can be used to strengthen security.

For those who require increased document protection, we recommend the Extended Security function.

Primary Security Functions

◆ Protecting Image Data Remaining in Memory

Protects image data remaining in memory. When a copy job is completed, or a job is canceled, the data is secure.

◆ Authenticating Administrator

Protects essential functions for administrating document security using an access code. See p.40 "Key Operator Code".

Operating Environment and Notes

Security for this machine is assured on the premises that the machine is used under the following conditions:

Operating Environment

  • The condition of the machine is normal. (For example, it is not damaged, modified, or lacking components.)
  • The machine is managed by an administrator with thorough knowledge of the machine and capable of providing the proper conditions under which users can use the machine safely.

For Administrator

  • Security of this machine cannot be assured if any hardware component is detached or replaced with an inappropriate component. If these things have the possibility of occurring, other security measures are necessary.
  • Avoid using a single number or consecutive numbers for a key operator code such as “00000000” or “12345678”. Since the numbers like this are easy to guess, using them will not provide the appropriate level of security.
  • User code is a function to help manage the use of the machine. It is not to protect confidential documents from others.
