Before You Print

Before printing with the SubliJet-R inks perform a nozzle check using the printer driver to ensure you have all

colours printing.

1. Navigate to the ‘Printers’ configuration window in your operating system. Right click on ‘RICOH

AficioSG3110DNw RPCS-R’ and choose 'Printing Preferences'.

2. Click the ‘Maintenance’ tab.

3. Select ‘Nozzle Check’ and follow the prompts.

4. The pattern should look like the one shown below (Figure 19).

5. If you have breaks in the nozzle check pattern (Figure 20) run the cleaning process (no more than three

times) followed by a nozzle check pattern after each.

Important: Do not over-clean the Ricoh as this just wastes ink and in most cases, the nozzle check pattern

will deteriorate rather than improve.

General Printer Maintenance

•It is advisable to always leave your printer turned on when not in use, this will enable the automatic

maintenance mode to function which will ensure you printer works flawlessly time after time.

•If you are not going to print regularly then perform a nozzle check or send a small test print to the printer

every 2-3 days. This helps to prevent ink from drying on the bottom of the print head.

•NEVER allow the printer to sit with the print head away from the docking station. If the print head is

anywhere other than the docking station (furthest to the right of the printer) then the bottom of the print

head is not being capped off and is open to the air. This will always allow ink to dry on the bottom of the

print head and prevent the nozzles working correctly.

•DO NOT remove the cartridges from the printer unnecessarily. If you are having problems printing, follow

the guidelines in the following page first. Cartridges should only be removed as the LAST resort as this will

introduce air into the system and can make it even more difficult to get the printer working correctly.

•NEVER perform huge amounts of continuous head cleans. If a printer is not working within 3-4 head cleans

there is usually something wrong.

•I have actually had customer call me after ‘head cleaning 50-60 times without success’ – result: probably a

dead printer.
