    Question Build job on Ricoh?

    We recently got a Ricoh MP C4504ex which was promised to do all the things our old Sharp could do. The installation was yesterday and the trainer was no help at all, I don't think he knew what I was talking about. Does anyone know of a way to build a job on this copier/printer? Specifically I need to print/copy a job using different paper trays, to produce a packet with different color and size pages. The whole idea behind this is to a avoid printing or copying the job in pieces and then having to collate the package by hand.

    Thats where the IT comes in...
    That is an issue only for highly trained IT'ers!
    It needs to be programmed in your computer application program itself...
    That's no issue for pussy's...

    Thanks, Mark, at least you made me laugh about this horrible situation. I think I am going to miss that Sharp that was replaced...but seriously? Or are you shinin' me on?

    Job build is just called other things on Ricoh boxes.

    The sections I think you are needing are:

    Covers
    Designate
    Chapters
    Slip Sheet


    Chapter contents - - Copy/ Document Server

    These are also available in the print driver advanced.
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

    Yes, I tried those and it won't let me change paper drawers. I did attempt to figure this out for myself before posting the question.

    The term that Ricoh uses is Batch.

    Methinks you need to call the company and have your salesman return and walk you through the steps to do what you are wanting to do. It IS possible he has no clue about programming the type of job you need, so ask them to send someone that actually knows something about this machines operation. Cover and slip sheets are possible, although a finished job with various paper sizes may be a bit of a challenge. Don't let a salesman take your money and run and leave a tech to clean up his mess.
    NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING

    Yes, batch does not allow a change of paper trays.

    When using cover/slip/designate chapter you should be able to pick different paper trays in the printer driver and I know you can from the machine when making copies. HOWEVER, you will need to make sure that you are using preferably the driver specific to the machine MPC##04ex or the Ricoh Universal print driver and NOT a "Ricoh class driver/Ricoh class driver plus" driver.

    I think there has to be something wrong because not only can't I switch trays, batch doesn't work. As soon as I scan the first couple of sheets it starts printing the pages.

    We have an ROI and I have NO choices in the print driver.

    I guess our IT department are going to have to work with Ricoh to fix this.
