Question
- How do I print to a Ricoh printer using a print code?
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Ricoh printer
- Windows 10/11
- Mac OS X/macOS
Resolution
Windows 10/11:
- Open the Control Panel.
- Select "Devices and Printers".
- Right-click on the Ricoh printer that you want to use a print code with and select "Printing Preferences".
- Select the "Detailed Settings" tab at the top of the "Printing Preferences".
- Select "Job Setup" from the "Menu" section.
- Enter the print code in the "User Code" field.
- Click apply.
IT Pros: You can verify the print job completes via Ricoh's Web Image Monitor by entering the IP address in a browser. Then check Print Job --> Printer Job --> Printer Job History and check the status is not access restricted, which means it printed successfully with the entered print code.
macOS:
- Open Microsoft Word.
- Create a blank document, click on "File", and select "Print".
- A Print dialog box will appear. Scroll down, open the "Printer Options" submenu, and select "Job Log".
- The Job Log section will appear. Check "Enable User Code" and enter the print code.
- In the dropdown menu under "Presets", select "Save Current Settings as Preset..."
- There will be a box where you can rename the preset. Give the preset a descriptive name and click OK.
- Make sure the preset is selected when you choose to print to the Ricoh.
- NOTE: Some applications may require additional steps to access the macOS system print dialog.
- Adobe Acrobat: Click on "File" and select "Print". Select the "Printer..." button in the bottom left of the dialog box that appears.
- Chrome: Click on "File" and select "Print". Select the "More settings" submenu and then "Print using system dialog..."
