Ricoh IMC2500

Symptom

Under the usage environment of this machine, at the placement location, fluorescent and/or LED lamps flicker.

Cause

The procedure varies by the flicker occurrence timing. So check the occurrence timing, and do the procedure that matches the timing.

Timing	Solutions	Side effect
Recovery from energy saving	Set SP1-135-001 (Inrush Control) to "1 (ON)".	Recovery time from energy saving becomes slower approx. 0.4 sec..
After the recovery from energy saving	Set SP1-135-001 (Inrush Control) to "1 (ON)". Set SP1-135-002 (Flicker Control) to "1 (ON)".	• Recovery time from energy saving becomes slower approx. 0.4 sec.. • In the case of the adhesion amount of an image is large, an offset may occur. • In the case of a fusing offset occurs, in the related SP to fusing offsets, setting valuesmust be changed
	If it has not been improved in the above, do the following procedures in addition; • Stop the lighting of the fusing lamp after the warmup. Set SP1-121-001(Switch:Rotation Start/Stop:Time:After Reload) to"0 sec".	The fusing temperature drops during the operation. After copying starts, the fusing temperature is raised up to a printable temperature. Because of that, copying completion time becomes slower (approx. 1-2 sec.).
Printing	Set SP1-135-002 (Flicker Control) to "1 (ON)".	• In the case of the adhesion amount of an image is large, an offset may occur. • In the case of a fusing offset occurs, in the related SP to fusing offsets, setting values must be changed.
