Adding Custom Printers

You can register non-RICOH printers using custom printer definition files created by regional experts.

Important: Before registering a printer, make sure that both your computer and the printer are correctly connected to the network. For details about how to connect the printer to a network, see the printer documentation.

Go to Start ⇒ All apps ⇒ RICOH TotalFlow Prep and click Custom Printer Tool.

The Custom Printer Tool opens in the default web browser.
Add the custom printer definition file for the custom printer that you want to register.
