Ricoh 6054 Printing question.

[svolte]

Does anyone know how many print jobs can this device print out at single pdf print job?

I have client who trying to print up to 1490 prints on single print job (pdf).

It prints like half and times out, or sometimes it starts to print again.

In theory there is no page size limit.

Which pdf viewer are they using?

Try setting to spooling the complete job before printing setting.

They are doing over night prints of over 1500 pages from single pdf file. Single pdf has 1500 pages.

Sometimes it stops and starts to print from beginning or create paper jam. -I noticed when it prints it prints them in batches.

Some are non pdf files that’s kind rare.

It’s Adobe reader - free one

How can I set the spooling jobs before printing? Is this inside to do on clients side or printer? Is this under printing preferences or under Adobe?

Do you think bypass tray can handle this much? Any difference between bypass tray and regular print trays?

Thanks

Overnight unsupervised large print jobs are just asking for trouble. According to Murphy, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Print jobs that restart from the beginning are often a power interruption or flaky door switch. Jams at power on, J001, are not listed in jam history SP7507 but are totaled in SP 7504-001.

copier tech's suggestion might help. Another thing that might help is to print to the document server then spool out as a copy job. If it is something that can be broken into suctions then only those sections that have changes since the last printing need to be to the document server the next time.

Try updating the driver, if that doesn't help switch to one of Ricoh's other drivers. Make sure they're not using the Ricoh class driver, also check to see what printer port they are using. The WSD port is no good, use the Standard TCPIP port. As always, update the firmware. Print the SMC report and look for any error codes that might give you clues to the problem.

It’s using Ricoh PS universal driver 4.9v - currently is using equitrac ports, I can try reducing to tcp/ip.

I can get Ricoh to update the firmware this week.

Maybe document server or spooling job first before printing could help.

The universal driver could be part of the problem. Unless you are pooling the 6064 with other printers, you do not need a universal driver, PS universal print driver provides significant compatibility with various printing devices, users can enjoy the simple management and easy operation with a single driver.In addition the current version of the driver is 4.32.0.0. That puts you 23 updates behind. That many updates tells me Ricoh has had unending problems with that driver. Try using the regular PS3 driver Ver 1.6.0.0. Been out now for over a year with no updates.

Along with making sure the port is TCP/IP, make sure the port is set for LPR mode instead of RAW with the queue name lp (as in line printer). It generally seems to help with some print issues, and was hammered into us years ago in Ricoh training to always use LPR.

Which version of Equitrac Office or Express are you running, and are all of its patches up to date?

Also, what version of PCC is installed on the MFP?

BTW…With that old a version of the Universal PS driver, I’m surprised you’re getting any output at all with a model that relatively new.
