Environmental Advice for UsersUsers in the EU, Switzerland and NorwayConsumables yieldPlease refer to either the User’s Manual for this information or the packaging of the consumable.Recycled paperThe machine can use recycled paper which is produced in accordance with European standardEN 12281:2002 or DIN 19309. For products using EP printing technology, the machine can printon 64g/m2 paper, which contains less raw materials and represents a significant resourcereduction.Duplex printing (if applicable)Duplex printing enables both sides of a sheet of paper to be used. This saves paper and reducesthe size of printed documents so that fewer sheets are used. We recommend that this feature isenabled whenever you print.Toner and ink cartridge return programToner and ink cartridge for recycling will be accepted free of charge from users in accordance withlocal regulations.For details about the return program, please refer to the Web page below or consult your serviceperson.https://www.ricoh-return.com/Energy efficiencyThe amount of electricity a machine consumes depends as much on its specifications as it does onthe way you use it. The machine is designed to allow you to reduce electricity costs by switching toReady mode after it prints the last page. If required, it can immediately print again from this mode.If no additional prints are required and a specified period of time passes, the device switches to anenergy saving mode.In these modes, the machine consumes less power (watts). If the machine is to print again, it needsa little longer to return from an energy saving mode than from Ready mode.For maximum energy savings, we recommend that the default setting for power management isused.Products that comply with the Energy Star requirement are always energy efficient.10 meihua-p2_mf2_com_user_guide_00106386_eng.xmlDraft 2013/03/26

Cautions When CleaningClean the machine periodically to maintain high print quality.Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not sufficient, wipe with a soft, damp cloth that hasbeen wrung out thoroughly. If you still cannot remove the stain or grime, use a neutral detergent, wipeover the area with a thoroughly-wrung damp cloth, and then dry wipe the area and allow it to dry.• To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzineand thinner, or spray insecticide on the machine.• If there is dust or grime inside the machine, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.• You must disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year. Clean away any dust andgrime from the plug and outlet before reconnecting.

Paper Feed ProblemsIf the machine is operating but paper will not feed or paper jams occur frequently, check the condition ofthe machine and paper.Problem SolutionPaper does not feed smoothly. • Use supported types of paper. See page 31 "SupportedPaper".• Load paper correctly, making sure that the paper guidesare properly adjusted. See page 36 "Loading Paper".• If the paper is curled, straighten the paper.• Take out the paper from tray and fan it well. Then,reverse the top and bottom of the paper, and put it in thetray.Paper jams occur frequently. • If there are gaps between the paper and the paperguides, adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.• Avoid printing on both sides of paper when printingimages that contain large areas of solid color, whichconsume a lot of toner.• Use supported types of paper. See page 31 "SupportedPaper".• Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings onthe paper guide.Multiple sheets of paper are fed atone time.• Fan the paper well before loading. Also make sure thatthe edges are even by tapping the stack on a flat surfacesuch as a desk.• Make sure that the paper guides are in the right position.• Use supported types of paper. See page 31 "SupportedPaper".• Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings onthe paper guide.• Check that paper was not added while there was stillsome left in the tray.Only add paper when there is none left in the tray.Paper gets wrinkles. • Paper is damp.

Problem Solution• If there are gaps between the paper and the paperguides, adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.The printed paper is curled. • Load the paper upside down in the paper tray.• Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.Images are printed diagonally to thepages.CER091If there are gaps between the paper and the paper guides,adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.Removing Printing JamsFirst, try removing the paper automatically. If this fails, remove it manually.• Jammed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.• Toner on prints made immediately after clearing a paper jam may be insufficiently fused and cansmudge. Make test prints until smudges no longer appear.• Do not forcefully remove jammed paper, as it may tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the machinewill cause further jams and possibly damage the machine.• Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint anypages that did not print out.Automatically removing the paper jammed inside the machine1. Open and close the maintenance cover once.The machine will then slowly eject the jammed paper. After the jammed paper is ejected, remove it.If the jammed paper is not ejected, open the maintenance cover again and remove jammed papermanually.Paper Feed Problemsmeihua-p2_mf2_com_user_guide_00106448_eng.xml 145Draft 2013/03/26

If the problem is not resolved, closeunneeded processes too.• Check that the latest printer driver is being used.A print job is canceled. • Set I/O Timeout to a larger value than the currentsettings.There is considerable delay betweenthe print start command and actualprinting.• Processing time depends on data volume. High volumedata, such as graphics-heavy documents, take longer toprocess.
