Printing to the English Mailroom Printer DEPRECIATED

Please see https://pages.uoregon.edu/burridge/PrinterList.html

The English Department's Ricoh Aficio MP 6001

The English Department maintains a Ricoh Aficio MP 6001 printer in the mailroom on the first floor of PLC. This printer is intended for light printing, scanning, and copier use by English faculty.

For high-volume jobs, please use the Campus Digital Print Center. They are located in the EMU, room 19. They will accept electronic files via e-mail sent to pmcdp@uoregon.edu; be sure to include printing instructions and an index number for billing.

If you want to know all the ins and outs of the Ricoh printer, the manual is at http://www.manualowl.com/m/Ricoh/Aficio-MP-6000/Manual/183623.

For the technically curious, all of the printer drivers for the Ricoh Aficio MP 6001 printer live here: http://www.ricoh-usa.com/downloads/popup/popup_manuals_drivers_download.aspx?path=http%3a%2f%2fsupport.ricoh.com%2fbb%2fhtml%2fdr_ut_e%2frc2%2fmodel%2fmp6001%2fmp6001en.htm. For the folks who just want to install the proper driver, the general instructions for installing and using the English Department's printer are

  1. Get a printing code from the English Main office.
  2. Identify your computer's operating system
  3. Download the corresponding printer driver from Ricoh
  4. Install the printer driver
  5. Configure the printer for printing

Preparation

Please make sure to be connected to UO Secure or wired into the campus network before continuing. The now deprecated uowireless wireless may prevent a successful installation and there have been instances that printing over uowireless does not work.

Also you will need to get a special code before you will be able to use the printer.

Operating System Identification

Apple computers:

  1. Click Apple logo at top left of screen
  2. Select About this Mac.
  3. A new (small) window will appear. The version number is listed in the middle of the window.

Windows computers:

  1. Click on Start
  2. Right-click My Computer
  3. Click on Properties.
  4. A System Properties window will appear. This will tell you the base version of Windows you have.
  5. (Vista and Windows 7) If "64-bit Operating System" is listed next to System type, you're running the 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7. If "32-bit Operating System" is listed next to System type, you're running the 32-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Driver Installation

Apple OS X 10.8 (Mountian Lion) through OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

  1. Download the appropriate driver for your operating system.
  2. Open the .dmg file if it didn't do it automatically.
  3. Double-click on the file PPD_Installer_RI1454E3L.pkg and click through the installation screens. No need to change any of the recommended settings of the installer. You can safely eject the mounted .dmg after the PPD installation is finished.
  4. Go into System Preferences --> Print & Fax. Unlock the gold padlock if necessary, then click on the "+" sign to add a new printer.
  5. Click on IP. Make sure Line Printer Daemon LPD is chosen in the "Protocol" choice. Put in this address: 128.223.108.40 then rename the "Name" field if you like (optional). Location field can be left blank. The "Print Using" drop-down registers RICOH Aficio MP 6001 PS. Click the Add button.
  6. The options are: Large Capacity Tray (Installed); Finisher (Finisher SR4030); All others are (Not Installed). Click Continue. It's now installed, but wait, there's more!
  7. Printing: Start a print job from whatever program you use (Firefox, Word, etc). Expand down all your printer options if not already done and click the drop-down to find and choose Job Log.
    1. Make sure the text box for User ID is blank (or, alternatively, you could put in your UO ID (i.e. burridge) or your campus extension; this would give someone a way to reach you should there be a problem with a print job).
    2. Towards the bottom, check Enable User Code
    3. In the text box for User Code put in your copier ID number that was given to you by Susan.
    You may now make other print preference settings and then print.
    TIPS:
  1. You can save your user code as one of your Presets. After you check the box for Job Log and enter in your code, you can also choose Layout from the drop-down and pick Two-Sided: Long-edge binding (or just check the Two-Sided checkbox). Then from the Presets drop-down choose Save As... and give it a name like Duplex w code or Double-sided w code. If you already have presets, then make the additional change to the Job Log feature with your code and Save over your existing preset name.
  2. If you don't want to use Presets, your accounting code seems to stay in the print setting of the program until you log out or restart the computer.

Apple OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

On the "Select Folder" screen, click Browse and choose a location that you can find easily later, like your Desktop or the C: drive.

  5. Once the printer is installed, you can right-click it and choose Printing Preferences to lock in the accounting code. You can find where it belongs under the Valid Access tab in the User Code field. If you don't put it here, you have to find this same tab before printing in the preferences choices from the program you print from. NOTE: This copier -does not- prompt you for your code like the last copiers. You have to put it in the preferences --> Valid Access tab.

Windows XP (32bit)

  1. Download then Open the Windows XP PCL6 from this URL:
    http://support.ricoh.com/bb/pub_e/dr_ut_e/0001184/0001184494/V1300/r50706en.exe
  2. Click Next on the Welcome screen, accept the agreement and then go Next.

  6. On the next screen that lists all the printer models, click on the "Have Disk..." button, then Browse... button. Locate the folder you extracted in step 2.

In the Printer name screen, we recommend English-Mailroom. Choose "No" for the test page question and decide if you want it to be the default printer or not.
  7. Once the printer is installed, you can right-click it and choose Printing Preferences... to lock in the accounting code. You can find where it belongs under the Valid Access tab in the User Code field. If you don't put it here, you have to find this same tab before printing in the preferences choices from the program you print from. NOTE: This copier -does not- prompt you for your code like the last copiers. You have to put it in the preferences --> Valid Access tab.

NOTES: Your accounting code apparently does not stay in the printer preferences after a computer restart IF you put it only in the Valid Access tab when printing from a program. If you enter your code in the Control Panel --> Printers & Faxes section, it appears to stay even after restarting your computer.
