    Re: Ricoh MPC 4502 and MPC 5503 long time for working

    I promised to keep you informed.
    Well, i is not clear if the problem is still there.
    Customer is not complaining.
    I think it went away automatically or perhaps the fusing reset did it.

    Only a thought could be this

    Switch to this mode to enhance noise reduction.

    In silent mode, scanning and copying/printing is slower than usual.
    1. Press [Home] () at the bottom of the screen in the center.
    2. Flick the screen to the left, and then press the [User Tools] () icon.
    3. Press [Machine Features].
    4. Press [System Settings].
    5. Check that [General Features] is selected.
    6. Press [Silent Mode].
    7. Press [On].
    8. Press [OK].
    9. Press [Exit].
    10. Press [User Tools] () on the top right of the screen.
    11. Press [Home] () at the bottom of the screen in the center.

    Just a suggestion.
    Check the resolution for copies and prints.
    1,200 dpi takes quite a bit longer than 600dpi.

    Why hasn't this happened before than? Half of the worlds Ricohs would go slow, no?
    There was a message from Ricoh warning us for hacking via printers.
    We need to delete the old driver and put the new instead.
    Could this be an issue?
    Not to hijack the thread but I've been to a partner invitation for introducing a new line of their products and one of the speaker considers himself as an "ethical hacker".
    He tried to hack a Ricoh device by using the PJL on a word document then was able to control the printer and penetrate within the system.
    Though it was a demo, I was surprised it is possible.

    Back to the topic, machine has a setting in SP mode for reaching the temperature for it to start printing. fusing ready temp as far as i remember.

    After putting in a referbished F.U. + done the reset procedure (new unit cheat with a switch plugged in the F.U. connector) it makes no difference at all. The developerbox is over its lifetime, so it will be replaced soon.
    I'll keep you informed.

    I would do as sim suggested

    Update all firmware
    Backup address book
    Memory clear all BUT NOT 1 & 2
    format hdd

    Then start from fresh with dhcp on so picks up all network information print info then add as static ip and enter all information from print out. Load on pc not wsd and use ricoh driver the restore address book

    Is "Anti-Curl" turned on? That will make these machines take forever for Pg. 1 to print.
    SP-1113-001
    0 : Off
    1 : On (No decurl)

    Have had machines that take a while to "warm up", especially on the xx02's.
    If it's a print job taking forever, then as suggested by a couple on here, change your driver to PCL6 and make sure it is using the IP address for the Port and not WSD.
    Fusing sleeve has two non-contact thermistors instead of pressure roll, which uses two contact type thermistors.
    When press. roll shaft has been affected by worn bearings, temperature readings could be vary during warm up.
    Thermistor surface also gets worn.
    Another important coefficient is what is the weather like in Sicily or anywhere else at north hemisphere...

    What's the count on your fuser sleeve and Press Roll?
    What's the count on your development units? Have seen it take a long time to run Process/ Calibration due to dev. units being shot/ toner density being light. Make sure your ID sensors are clean too.

    Did you try the memory clear of Copier application as Slim suggested?

    Well, i have the same problem with an MP C4502, it takes too long to copy-let's start from this function at first.
    So far, thinking that it may be a fuser control problem, i have cleaned press. roll thermistors, triple heater continuity has been checked,
    bearings and pressure roll have been replaced, they get worn very soon.
    Firmware is up to date, SP adjustments are at default.
    i didn't perform any reset routine-as Slimslob suggests-yet.
    I think it's an interesting idea.
    Totoro maybe points a solution, also!!

    *Before change hdd you do imh clear?
    *It says print 1min (warmingup)?
    *Ck the fuser temp
    *Ck the error hist for a lead
