How to disabel the copy function?

[Guest]

I have a Ricoh MP5500; is there any way to disable the copy function from this printer. In my office we only use the printer and scanner function. Can disable the copy function be possible?

Enable user codes for copying but don't enter any code for users.

there is a way, enter service mode 5 118 enable (copy disabling) Japan only but it works, but you must be a tech to enter service mode.

I agree with faxman, just put in user codes for the copying. That would be, from a user standpoint, the easiest thing to do. Then, you have control over who can make copies (if they ever need to) and can keep an eye on copy volume.

If it is done from service mode, there will be no way to use the copying feature. At least with the codes, it will restrict all but those with rights.

Try this:

Press the [User Tools/Counter] key
Touch [System Settings]
Touch the [Key Operator Tools] tab then touch [Next] to view the second page of this menu
Touch the [Address Book Management] key then touch the user key whose User Code that you want to change
Go to Step 7 if you want to change Name and Title details of the user
Go to Step 8 if you just want to change a user's User Code

View the displayed Program/Change Address Book menu and :
touch [Change] and enter a new User (Destination) Name from the display keypad (touch [OK] to finish)
the User (Destination) Name box will now show the new name
do the same to change the name of the title that you want to appear on the Key Display (if you decide to skip this step, the User (Destination) Name will be used by default)
select the Title Key - your user/destination will be stored under the selected title letter or number

Touch [User Code] if you have enabled User Code Management and want to assign a different 8-digit code that the new user must enter before operating the machine:
touch [Change]
enter a new 8-digit code from the blue numeric keypad then touch the Hash key
touch to select or de-select the functions whose access that you want to restrict with the User Code
Touch [OK] then touch [Exit]
Press the [User Tools/Counter] key to exit from the User Tools menu
If displayed, touch [Exit] at the dialog box which alerts you that the Destination List
