tried - yes, succeeded - no

You MUST choose some specific file format AND image resulution but even with a proper file (according to the user manual) I couldn't set up a logo - if if I can get the image uploaded via web interface with no error (you'll actually get an error if you choose an improper resolution). I didn't digged deeper since the possible reolution you can use (again: according to the user manual) is kind of a joke. I set these machines up like the old one since I don't see the advantage having a home screen in order to switch functions - maybe it's useful if extended features are installed but not if you have a basic setup you can program on the function buttons below (copy/doc server/fax/scan..).

Hi there!
The image must be smaller then 45KB, 324 x 66 pixel (exactly!!)
It must be on the SD-card in a created folder custom_ui\image and named insert.JPG

Greetings...

Thanks for the info: I have used a file like you have described with no joy, although i was trying to do it via the browser, i will try with sd card in a named folder as you say.

Our Ricoh sales rep person did it to the machines in our showroom. It took him quite some time too! I'll give him a call tomorrow, but I think that he'd used the RTFM installation process (no offence intended, I really think that he did.)

Re: Ricoh mpc 3502 home screen logo

I couldn't for the life of me get it to load through the SD card, but had no problem loading with the WIM. I'm wondering if there is some sort of post processing that is done when using the WIM to make it fully compatible. One thing I didn't do when editing the logo was to 'flatten' it when done, not sure if that would make any difference. I might try GIMP and see if the results are any different.

There is a post on the RUK tech forum about this

Re: Ricoh mpc 3502 home screen logo

Thanks for the help, i managed to get it to work by saving it in paint and adding .jpeg and the end of the file named "insert"

May have been photoshop causing the issue.

Re: Ricoh mpc 3502 home screen logo

Hello to all!
I tryed with GIMP with success.
-The logo must have exacltly 324x66
-96 dpi
-When you save it you need to save it in Jpeg format
- Then press "advance optinons" and desable all optins.
- Save it and you are done.

I added the logo by WIM

Bump for an older thread. I am still battling with this not working. Tried both .jpeg and .jpg files, have updated firmware. Image is exactly 324x66. Loading from the SD reader apparently works, but the image does not show up in home.

Re: Ricoh mpc 3502 home screen logo

In todays world you think that these sort of company logo could be pre installed or have acces to a directory where the logo needs to be put....

Ricoh should do this with all machines, and have there top 10000 Partners/Re-sellers/Distributers Preloaded. And then should you need to put your own logo in, Then a simple directory path copied and pasted via USB

Re: Ricoh mpc 3502 home screen logo

I know this is really old, but... the trick is that the image must be less than 15kb ON THE DISK. If you resize it at 15kb, the actual space consumed on the disk might be 17kb and it won't work. You can check this by looking at the image properties in Windows.

The right size, dimensions and format named "insert", and it works from WIM.

With the new SOP panels you have create your own screen wallpaper using the SOP designer tool.
