Ricoh Aficio GX7000 User Manual

• When using the printer for the first time, install the Print cartridges supplied with the printer.
• As soon as you install the supplied print cartridges, the printer begins feeding ink to the print
heads. Be sure not to reinstall used print cartridges.
Using Print cartridges
• Print cartridges should be used up before their expiry date, ideally within six months of being
removed from their packaging.
• Do not open the package of a Print cartridge until the cartridge will be installed in the printer.
• Do not touch the print cartridges' ink inlets or chip contacts.
• Do not shake Print cartridges strongly. Ink may leak out.
• Do not take apart Print cartridges.
• Do not open the right front cover except when installing Print cartridges. Do not turn off the power
or unplug the power cord during the process of installing the cartridges.
• Always confirm the color of a Print cartridge before installing it.
• Do not remove a Print cartridge once it has been installed unless necessary.
• Do not remove a Print cartridge while printing is being performed. Printing will stop.
• For print quality and consistency, this printer always uses all the available ink colors (black, cyan,
yellow, and magenta) to produce print images. Even if your print image is black and white or
[Black and White] is selected in the printer properties dialog box, all ink colors will still be used.
• Printing stops if one of the print cartridges becomes empty. If a cartridge containing a color ink
such as cyan, yellow, or magenta becomes empty, you cannot print, even in black/white. If a
message prompting you to change the print cartridge appears, change the cartridge as soon
as possible.
Storing Print cartridges
• Store print cartridges at a temperature of between -20 and 43°C.
Ink consumption
• To protect the print head and ensure print quality, the printer performs periodic maintenance
and print head cleaning when it is switched on and before printing. Both of these operations
consume ink.
• The amount of ink consumed during cleaning depends on the cartridge size.
