The original pushes actuator [A] and the original set sensor [E] is activated. After pressing the start button, the pick-up solenoid [D] is activated and the lift plate [C] lifts the original up until it comes in contact with the pick-up roller [B].
ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT 2.3 ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT 2.3.1 SINGLE-SIDED ORIGINALS B379D506.WMF The DF feed motor feeds the separated original to the first transport roller [A] at maximum speed. When the registration sensor [B] detects the leading edge, the motor stops for a short while.
ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT 2.3.2 DOUBLE-SIDED ORIGINALS B379D204.WMF A858D205.WMF When the registration sensor [B] detects the leading edge of the original, the DF feed motor (which drives the feed roller) and transport motor (which drives the transport roller) both switch off. After a brief interval, the transport motor alone reactivates to drive the first transport roller [A] and second transport roller [G] and the exit roller [F].
ORIGINAL TRANSPORT AND EXIT B379D206.WMF B379D207.WMF The original is then sent to the reverse table [H] a second time to be turned over. This is done so that the duplex copies will be properly stacked front side down in the exit tray [J] in the correct order. 2.3.3 ORIGINAL TRAILING EDGE SENSOR During one-to-one copying, copy paper is fed to the registration roller in advance (while the original is still being scanned), to increase the copy speed.

INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION 4.2 INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION 4.2.1 MAIL TRANSMISSION Sending T erminal SMT P IFAX Server E-mail Router Internet POP/IMAP IFAX Server E-mail Router IFAXD601.WMF Procedure Scanned documents are sent as electronic mail (e-mail). All messages are sent using memory transmission. All e-mail transmissions are controlled using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) procedures.
INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION Errors An error report is generated if an error occurs during communication between the machine and the SMTP server. However, it is possible that the sender will not receive reports of errors that occurred between the SMTP server and the receiving terminal.
INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION 4.2.2 MAIL RECEPTION SMTP IFAX Server E-mail Router Receiving Terminal Internet IFAX Server E-mail Router IFAXD912.WMF This machine supports three types of e-mail reception: • POP3 (Post Office Protocol Ver. 3.) • IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol) •...
INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION Characteristics of POP3/IMAP4 Reception Here are some general characteristics of POP3/IMAP4 receiving: • No MX record registration: There is no need to register the machine in the MX record of the DNS server. • Power can be switched off: As long as the machine is not receiving mail, mail stored in the mail server is not lost when the power is switched off.
The Off Ramp Gateway feature allows expansion for RX mail delivery to a G3 fax. The machine transfers incoming mail is sent to the G3 fax specified by the local part. For example, in a destination address specified as: fax=0454778907@cl01.dom1.ricoh.co.jp the “local part” is 0454778907. • A POP3/IMAP4 server is not required:...

In order to limit access to mail delivery with IFAX, the addresses of senders must be limited using the Access Limit Entry. Only one entry can be registered. 1) Access Limit Entry For example, to limit access to @IFAX.ricoh.co.jp: gts@IFAX.ricoh.co.jp Matches and is delivered.
INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION Handling Mail Reception Errors Errors during POP3/IMAP4 procedures When an error of this type occurs, the machine stops receiving and the message stays in the server. An error report is output. After a prescribed interval, the machine calls the server and starts to receive, starting with the interrupted message.
INTERNET MAIL COMMUNICATION Printing Received Mail To print received e-mail: • The machine detects whether it has received a TIFF-F format image, then prints • Text in US ASCII or ISO 8859 X format can also be printed. When a line of text is longer than the paper width, the excess data will be truncated and lost.
