3. Useful Functions
This chapter describes useful functions such as how to register Custom Papers and use the remote
desktop function.
Registering Custom Paper
Using the paper settings function of the machine, you can specify the paper type, size, weight and
various other properties of paper that you want to use and register the settings as "Custom Paper". Also,
you can achieve satisfactory printing results easily by specifying the paper settings for a commercially
available paper brand that is widely used from the Master Library.
• The Color Homing function stabilizes color deviations during a print run. For details about the Color
Homing function, see the operating instructions of the function, or contact a Ricoh service
representative.
Overview of Paper Settings
Tray paper settings
You need to specify the paper sizes and types for paper trays in order to properly print on the
paper loaded in the paper trays. You can configure these settings in the tray paper settings.
The machine has functions such as a master library and custom paper settings that make it easy to
configure the tray paper settings.
You can specify the tray paper settings in the following ways:
• Assign a custom paper to a paper tray
• Manually specify a paper size and type for a paper tray
Master library
The master library contains settings such as paper types, paper weights, and machine operating
conditions (for example, paper feed, toner transfer, and toner fusing conditions) that are
customized for each major commercially available paper products and also for each major paper
types.
To use the settings in the master library, you must first select the name or type of your paper from
the master library. The paper settings will be registered to a custom paper. The master library
makes it easy to get the best results from your paper.
Custom paper
You can register each type of paper that you use as a "Custom Paper" by setting a name, size,
type, weight, and other advanced settings in "Tray Paper Settings".
