Before you install any RICOH Transform features:
  • Make sure that your computer meets the additional hardware and software requirements specified.See Primary computer and Data transforms for those requirements. You can install one or more RICOH Transform features on the primary server or on another computer on your network.
  • Make sure that Security Enabled Linux (SELinux) is not blocking any processes residing in any of the subdirectories of /opt/infoprint/itm.
  • The AFP Support feature must be installed on the primary server even if the Transform feature is installed on a computer other than the primary server.
  • The RICOH Transform features are installed in trial mode. To continue using the RICOH Transform features after the trial period, you must purchase each transform that you want to use and a license key for it.

You can either:

      Note:
    • If you are using a Red Hat, CentOS, or Rocky Linux system, the drive might mount automatically.

You must unmount the drive and mount it again with the exec option before you can continue. You can use this command:

      mount -t iso9660 -o remount, exec <mount_point>

      You must remount the drive for every CD or DVD that you insert.

    The media mount point is /media/cdrom.

    On some systems where the media is mounted automatically, the name of the mount point is the same as the name of the CD or DVD.
