Frequently Asked Questions - 132 P RICOH
How do I load continuous paper?
Open the rear paper guide, position the paper with holes aligning with the tractor pins, close the tractor covers, and adjust the paper thickness lever. Use the paper feed button to advance.
How do I replace the ribbon?
Turn off printer, open the top cover, remove old ribbon cassette by pulling up, insert new cassette (black side down) until it clicks, close cover. Print a test to ensure proper installation.
What should I do if the paper jams?
Turn off printer, gently remove jammed paper by pulling in the direction of feed, avoid tearing. Check for any obstructions, then power on and clear jam using the panel button if needed.
How do I change the font or character set?
Use the control panel DIP switches or software commands. For DIP switch settings, refer to the manual. Common fonts: Draft, Courier, Roman. Character sets: USA, France, Germany, etc. via ESC/P commands.
How do I connect the printer to my computer?
Use a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) to the LPT port, or a serial cable to COM port. Ensure protocol settings match (baud rate, parity). For modern PCs, use a USB-to-parallel adapter.
How do I perform a self-test?
Press the LF/FF button while powering on. The printer will print a test pattern showing current settings and character sets. Press Online to stop.
Can I print on single sheets?
Yes, use friction feed. Set the paper select lever to single sheet, adjust the paper guides, and insert the sheet until it auto-feeds. Use the paper park feature to switch between continuous and single sheets.
How do I adjust the print head gap?
Move the paper thickness lever to the appropriate setting: for 1 sheet, position 1; for multi-part forms, use a higher number. Ensure even gap to avoid print quality issues.
Why is the printer not turning on?
Check power cord connection, test the outlet, verify the power switch is on. If still off, the fuse may be blown – replace with same rating (e.g., 2A). Contact service if issue persists.
