Job moves to error state with message RPDF008E

If a job goes into an error state and you see message RPDF008E, check how your Ricoh PDF printer is configured.

In the Printer Model property, make sure that the correct value is selected.
Check the Data stream to send property. If it is set to JDF/PDF, the printer must have a supported EFI Fiery control unit or RICOH TotalFlow Print server installed. For a list of control units that support this data stream, see the Ricoh PDF printer readme. On a Linux primary or secondary server, the readme file is in the /aiw/aiw1/pc directory. On an application server, the readme file is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Ricoh\ProcessDirector\pc directory.

If your printer and control unit combination does not support the JDF/PDF data stream, select PostScript in the Data stream to send property.
