Can this machine be used as a standalone printer ( connect a cat 5 cable from laptop to ricoh ethernet port or does it require a router for use?) I have tried this approach but my laptop cannot see the copier

Hi,
To my understanding since this model is a print server by itself, should you want to connect it straight to a laptop and not through a hub or router, perhaps you can try using a cross-over cat5 networking cable instead of the regular straight through.
Additionally, the IP adds of the printer and laptop should be near (192.168.15.16/printer and 192.168.15.xx/laptop).
Alternately, the printer will allow also connections by parallel, USB and bluetooth.
Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards.
