You need to do a firmware update. Get the machine ip address. Login, default is admin as the username. I get my firmware on the My-Ricoh site but you 'll need to be registered on that site. Call your local Ricoh agent to come do a firmware update on the machine. Alternatively you can download a scan to pdf program and then go to google and type MP1600 network twain driver. But the machine needs to be connected to the network. It's a network printer.

the most common problem on this device would be client/operator error, incorrect removeal of paper jams will result in a broken "fuser exit actuator" luckily this part is cheap and readily available

The toner sensor needs to be replaced or at the very best you have toner spilled inside or a bad cartridge.

Bad news if you're after firmware for the Corby 2GB MP301 mp3 player - the company's gone bust and the website no longer has downloads or support.

I haven't been able to locate the firmware to download.

The good news though is that someone's selling new Corby 2GB MP301 players for $14.97 with free shipping (but only until 19 Feb 2014). Maybe that's the way to ease your pain?

You will need a service technician to update the firmware. He will have to download from Ricoh's service website.

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.
