This problem is usualy related to the laser unit/Polygon mirror motor. Ask your local technician to replace the polygon mirror motor, this part is normally cheap.

open the right cover where you normally remove the paper jams,then open front cover/door where you put toner,lift the green handle up,push green lock towards the right side while pulling the hopper out,then theres a connector beneath the PCU,pull it then pull out the PCU,use the same same procedure to put it in,start with the PCU,return the connector and put in the hopper,then close all doors/covers
Aficio MP161 Toner bottle doesn't turn to add toner.
How many copies on that machine? The photoconductor unit on that model only goes 45,000 copies. If the machine wont tone up and the pcu is old i would replace it and calibrate to see if the problem goes away. The pcu is cheap for that model. Start there would be my advice.
Where to find the meter
Hello!
You need to print a configuration page.
Press and hold the Cancel button for about 5 seconds.
A configuration page prints out.
I have copier it given
overload of the main motor or fusing unit (SC 500)
Look at your fusing unit, (rollers, thermistor, lamp, gears...)
and don't forget to reset SC code in SP mode.
Good luck

I'haven't driver usb for Aficio
Hello!
The driver in not diferent for TCP/IP or USB. The driver is the same.
You just need to configure the LPT port and connect your machine to that port (usb port)
If you do not have the drivers you can download it for free from

I have a Ricoh 161 but after a firmware update
You can not stop a firmware update.
Did you turn the machine off while the firmware update? If you did that your NVram is broken
I think that the only chance you have is with a new NVram. Sorry but you will have to put a new NVram.
Can not scan to pc,
Hello!
You can make scan-to-folder with this machine.
First you need to create users and then put the path to the folder of each user (user=Pc).
Befor you put the path to the folder you need to create new folders on each PC.
Do not forget to:
1 - share that folder with full permissions.
2 - Log in authentication for each PC.
If you have any question reply to me.
I will be glad to help you.
WHATS THE NAME OF THE CABLE USED TO CONNECT A
Hello!
This will depend on the connection type you want to make.
If you have a switch you need a straight UTP cable. But if you want to connect the machine directly to the PC you will need a crossover cable.
Do not forget that your machine model uses network scaning (I am talking about scan-to-folder). For that you need to creat a shared folder (in your PC with full permitions) and a user (in the machine) with the correct path.
If you have any doubt reply to me. I will be glad to help you
See you

Plug in a telefone in the fax board and dial the number you whant to send the fax.
