20 Most Recent Ricoh Aficio 1018D Copier - Page 4 Questions & Answers

It depends, you will need the drivers either from the CD or from a folder on a network share no matter how you setup the printer when you're printing directly to the printer.

But if you attach one Windows machine to it and then share it, the computer will install the driver automatically when you attach to the shared printer on that machine as long as the operating systems share the same driver.

Furthermore, you can also install the driver for other operating systems in the printer properties.

Hi there,

Can you explain further details of the problem with your Aficio 1018D copier? Is "sc650" an error code you are getting?

Looking forward to help you.

Polygonal mirror motor error.
You will have to replace the Polygonal mirror motor.

Sir,
You can fax or print with the aficio 1018d provided that you have the fax and printer options. these connection points are located at the back of the machine.

TRY TO CHECK & CLEAN THE CHARGING ASSEMBLY THEN AFTER THAT CHECK THE DRUM CLEANING BLADE

This manual can be downloaded free at http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/manuals/bw/aficio1018.pdf

this is an older model copier, however try going to www.savin.com and click downloads then drivers. there will be a tab for drivers, this is 10.5 though not snow leopard. Ricoh/Savin/gestetner and Lanier are all the same copier, but savin site has more mac info than Ricoh site. Usually I have better luck using already installed Mac drivers than Gutenprint, if you type in the ip it should give you a list of preinstalled Mac drivers. I believe the Ricoh 1018 corresponds to a Savin 2518 if that helps. Also use print daemon, not ipp. hope this helps somewhat as Macs are difficult with options and such on most printers. also must use PS3 for best results.

change the claw finger or maybe there some group of toner deposit near your roller unit

you have a fuser code. power cycle the machine. use the red off/on switch. turn off for 30 sec. turn back on. if code is still there have a tech fix it. could be bad thermistor, measures tempature. bad lamp, creates heat. thermofuse, protects from met down,. bad power supply, supplies power. bad main pcb, controls everything. most likely needs fuser rebuilt

Four things to look for here.....

1. Did you remove the inner top of the toner bottle? The clear one. That will create a mess. Only remove the black cap.

2. The seal between the toner hopper and the top of the photoconductor unit has been damaged. Need to replace or fix this. You can see the seal around the hole in the pcu when you pull the toner hopper out.

3. The claws in the toner hopper that grab the top of the toner bottle are bound up or the release mechanism (green handle area) is messed up. Clean if you can or replace worn parts.

4. If the copies are getting light, then the plastic 'scoopers' inside of the toner hopper are damaged. You will need to disassemble the receptacle the toner bottle fits into and repair the 'scoopers'. If they are still there, just glue them back on.

Enter SP mode - Clear (yellow) key, 1 0 7 and hold and press stop (orange) key for 3 seconds.
Enter SP 5-810 (SC code reset) and
select “1”. Then switch off and on the machine.
If error still there, probably you have one of the following faulty;

Fusing thermistor open or defective,
Fusing lamp open or
Power supply board defective.
Please, first check fusing lamp and thermostat for open circuit.
Good luck and please rate me, thanks.

It could need a fan replacement. Possibly the bearing is going out on it causing the squealing noise

not sure if you are talking about two papers jammed in different locations or at different times?

first thing would be to clean the tires that pick up the paper, if too smooth then replace. sounds like a timing issue.paper getting stuck halfway in the fuser c(if no other paper jammed) can be Seperation is off causing the paper to rise onto the drum creating a time lapse, paper tansport belt (in the machine after the drum) is not turning ok, or as simple as wrong size paper Letter in machine but says Legal 8 1/2 x 14

Press the User Tools/Counter button.

Press System Settings.

Press Timer Settings.

Press the time button and make your changes.

I'm not familiar with your exact model but for small ricohs....Sc101 means that the standard white level was not detected. When you first turn on your machine the scanner scans a white plate (you will find this plate under the glass or frame near the park position of the scanner (facing down towards the scanner).The scanner will try to take a quick scan of this white plate so it knows the difference between white and black.
You will get this error if anything is preventing the scanner from seeing this plate (exposure lamp not working, Blocked scanner, or more likely a dirty white plate.
Remove the glass, get a mirror and try to find the plate and then clean it with windex. When you turn on machine the scanner will try to scan this white plate( make sure scanner is not getting hung up on anything.
For original size your machine may use paper size sensors that look like small black boxes with two black eyes (under the glass looking up towards the original) make sure these eyes are clean.

Regarding your doc feeder I need more info ( does it attempt to work, etc) describe what it does when you try to use it.
