(Document Server) 
The machine is now set to record the debugging information automatically on the HDD (the 
target selected with SP5857-002) for the events that you selected with SP5858 and the 
memory modules selected with SP5859. 
Please keep the following important points in mind when you do this setting: 
ƒ  Note that the number entries for Keys 1 to 5 are the same for the Copy, Printer, 
Scanner, and Web memory modules. 
ƒ  The initial settings are all zero.   
ƒ  These settings remain in effect until you change them. Be sure to check all the settings, 
especially the settings for Keys 6 to 10. To switch off a key setting, enter a zero for that 
key. 
ƒ  You can select any number of keys from 1 to 10 (or all) by entering the corresponding 
4-digit numbers from the table. 
ƒ  You cannot mix settings for the groups (COPY, PRINTER, etc.) for 006 to 010. For 
example, if you want to create a PRINTER debug log you must select the settings from 
the 9 available selections for the “PRINTER” column only. 
ƒ  One area of the disk is reserved to store the debug log. The size of this area is limited 
to 4 MB. 
5.9.2 RETRIEVING THE DEBUG LOG FROM THE HDD 
Retrieve the debug log by copying it from the hard disk to an SD card. 
1.  Insert the SD card into the service slot of the copier. 
2.  Enter the SP mode and execute SP5857-009 (Copy HDD to SD Card (Latest 4 
MB)) to write the debugging data to the SD card. 
3.  Use a card reader to copy the file and send it for analysis to your local Ricoh 
representative by email. You can also send the SD card by regular mail if you 
want. 
5.9.3  RECORDING ERRORS MANUALLY 
SC errors and jams only are recorded to the debug log automatically. Please instruct the 
user to do the following immediately after occurrence to save the debug data for any other 
errors that occur while the customer engineer is not on site. Such problems also include a 
controller or panel freeze.   
 
ƒ  You must previously switch on the Save Debug Feature (SP5857-001) and select 
the hard disk as the save destination (SP5857-002) if you want to use this feature. 
1. Press 
  (Clear Modes).on the operation panel when the error occurs.

2.  On the control panel, enter “01”. Then hold down   for at least 3 seconds until 
the machine beeps and then release it. This saves the debug log to the hard disk 
for later retrieval with an SD card by the service representatives. 
3.  Switch the machine off and on to resume operation. 
The debug information for the error is saved on the hard disk. This lets the service 
representative retrieve it on their next visit by copying it from the HDD to an SD card. 
5.9.4  NEW DEBUG LOG CODES 
SP5857-015 Copy SD Card-to-SD Card: Any Desired Key 
This SP copies the log on an SD card (the file that contains the information written directly 
from shared memory) to a log specified by key number. The copy operation is executed in 
the log directory of the SD card inserted in the same slot. (This function does not copy from 
one slot to another.) Each SD card can hold up to 4 MB of file data. Unique file names are 
created for the data during the copy operation to prevent overwriting files of the same name. 
This means that log data from more than one machine can be copied onto the same SC 
card. This command does not execute if there is no log on the HDD for the name of the 
specified key. 
SP5857-016 Create a File on HDD to Store a Log 
This SP creates a 32 MB file to store a log on the HDD. However, this is not a completely 
empty file. The created file will hold the number “2225” as the SCS key number and other 
non-volatile information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the HDD when 
the first log is stored on the HDD (it takes some time to complete this operation). This 
creates the possibility that the machine may be switched off and on before the log can be 
created completely. If you execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly 
reduce the amount of time required to acquire the log information and save onto the HDD. 
With the file already created on the HDD for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded. 
A new log file does not need to be created. To create a new log file, do SP5857-011 to 
delete the debug log data from the HDD. Then do SP5857-016. 
SP5857-017 Create a File on SD Card to Store a Log 
This SP creates a 4 MB file to store a log on an SD card. However, this is not a completely 
empty file. The created file will hold the number “2225” as the SCS key number and other 
non-volatile information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file is created on the SD card 
when the first log is stored on the SD card (it takes some time to complete this operation). 
This creates the possibility that the machine may be switched off and on before the log can 
be created completely. If you execute this SP to create the log file beforehand, this will 
greatly reduce the amount of time required to acquire the log information and save onto the

SD card. With the file already created on the SD card for the log file, the data only needs to 
be recorded; a new log file does not require creation. To create a new log file, do 
SP5857-012 to delete the debug log data from the SD card. Then do SP5857-017.
