Ricoh pre-IMC Models with Physical Function Buttons

The instructions below are for Ricoh models ending in “0”, “1”, or “2” (i.e., MPC205 or MPC3502, etc.). These devices are characterized by physical buttons for function selection to the left of the touchscreen.

Logging In

1. If the touchscreen is dark, press and hold the round <Main Power> button until you hear a beep, then let go.

2. When the touchscreen reads “Touch here or swipe card to begin”, touch the screen on the copier.

3. Using the keyboard on the touchscreen, enter your CruzID (your official UCSC email is CruzID@ucsc.edu; do not enter your full email address!) as your Username. Press <Ok> in the upper right corner of the touchscreen.

Enter Pharos username on Ricoh touchscreen to log in.

4. Using the keyboard on the touchscreen, or the numeric keypad to the right of the touchscreen, enter the last four digits of your Faculty/Staff employee ID number, or of your Student ID number, as your Password. Press <Ok> in the upper right corner of the touchscreen. Attention students: Your Student ID number is printed on the right side of your ID card. It is the middle seven digits, between the hyphens in the library barcode.

Enter Pharos password/PIN on Ricoh touchscreen to log in.

5. Select the charge method you’d like to use for your job. All faculty and staff users will charge a FOAPAL. Student users can select a FOAPAL (if they’ve been given permission), but more often will use their Student Billing Services account; this account charges to their Student Bill at Student Business Services.

Please note: Personal accounts are no longer enabled, so that button should be greyed out. If it is not greyed out and you try to select it, you will be forced to log in again after the system logs you out.

Staff/Faculty select their FOAPAL to enable device
SBS users select their funding source to enable device

Once you select your FOAPAL or your SBS account you will be logged in and ready to release Secure Prints, or select the Copy, or Scan physical function buttons so you can make copies or scans.

Logging Out

When you are finished, press the physical <Other Function> button to the left of the touchscreen, it will return you to the “Job Name” screen. You can then <Logout> on the bottom right of the touchscreen to log out of your account.
