printer configuration (MP 2000LN2)

[sharpmind]

Guys, do you know how to configure MP 2000LN2 over the network? I have no idea about the printer configuration of this machine. I've done the basic driver installation but the machine does not print.Network is ok coz' i can access the web monitor of the machine.

When you install the correct driver and program the correct IP-settings the machine should print. Maybe the port setting should be set to LPR instead of RAW (Queue name = lp)?

Ah, the LN...

Doesn't use the usual PCL/RPCS drivers, you have to download the DDST driver as that is the only one that'll work with this particular model.

Also if I remember when you install the driver and point it to a standard TCP/IP port, you then have to change the it to print on port 10001 in custom settings (or something similar)

Compared to the normal groundworks PCL/RPCS controller this model is a pain in the arse for networking.

What driver are you using? The "L" model can only use the PCL/DDST driver as it does not have a GW controller.

Ollie, you beat me to it.

from the download section of MP 2000 LN2, i have to download the Network/Twain driver?

how to change it? i have to go to printer properties, select port and then configure port, am i right?from there i have to change it to port 10001?

Download from here (link), I use the DDST driver usually.

Then do the usual, add a printer, standard TCP/IP port and put in the IP address, then configure the port and change it to port 10001.

No, not a TWAIN driver, that's for scanning. Use the DDST driver.

DDST. Say it with me...DDST.

Downloaded the DDST printer driver from Ricoh website and installed it in the computer. Set A4 portrait in the paper tray and the paper size orientation in the printer driver is also the same. Printed the test page but the machine showed"PAPER MISMATCHED, SET A4 landscape." Then I tried printing MS Word document, same thing happen. When the paper is set to A4 landscape, the printer prints automatically.But I want the printer to print in A4 portrait automatically because it reduces the time of printing and drum rotation.Any ideas?

Re: printer configuration (MP 2000LN2)

Does the driver configuration give you the option to change the paper size/orientation for the individual trays? If so, make sure that the paper is correctly listed in the driver for each tray.

There is no option in the driver configuration where we can change the paper size in each tray.

hmm..ok..i know what you want to say..but I already did that.I have sample of the screenshot of the driver window pane.

I already changed that setting, but no luck..I have installed several Ricoh machines over the network and this is my first time to encounter that kind of problem in that model only.

hah! maybe if you install the optional trays you'll get the proper configurations. And or check the destination settings go to 5807-01 check the values.

Try this steps.
1. Right click on the Printer Driver
2. Select Properties.
3. If you have already assigned the IP then click "Configure Port"
4. Check the Port settings to "RAW'
5. Change Raw Settings from 9100, to 10001.
6. OK.

I hope this resolves the problem.


REGARDS.

Try this step.
In the printing preferences
Go to PAPER,
Do not forget to chk the box (Long Edge is Vertical). (If you are using in the machine's tray paper size is A4 and not A4R).
I hope this resolves the problem.
