    Agreed, you don't know how long that unit has been sat on a shelf being bounced around, could be years.
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

    Parts were discontinued for that printer in 2011, and the unit shown here could well have been manufactured many years before that, so I agree with Slim that this unit wasn't purchased from Ricoh direct, or a dealer, but rather Ebay or someplace like that.
    Who knows where it's been, and what's happened to it over the last decade of bouncing around from dealer to dealer and liquidator to liquidator.
    It's not overly surprising that it looks the way it does, and I imagine that returning it might not be an option. If not, you can just try to clean it up as best you can and then run some pages to clean up the drums, etc. It will likely make awful prints at first, but might improve as it runs a little.
    TIP: toner particles are extremely fine. Tech vacuums have very specialized filters.
    Toner will go right through the filter of a regular household vacuum and a shop vac is entirely out of the question. Compressed air is also not going to help your cause if you spray it in the wrong areas. So be careful how you choose to go about cleaning the units
    I agree...no way this was shipped from Ricoh.
    Don't buy Craigslist parts people
