#Toner ricoh aficio sp 1000sf software
If I had been installing the software on a working system, however, I would have been stuck at that point, needing to call Ricoh's tech support to verify that indeed I should run the wizard. Without them I had no idea whether this was supposed to happen (Ricoh says it was), and whether or not to cancel the wizard, knowing that it might be necessary to run it, but also knowing that with some AIOs letting it run could cause problems.īecause I was on a test PC that I could reformat and start over with if something went wrong, I took a chance and told Windows to go through the automatic installation. This is a case where written instructions could have helped. After installing the software in Windows XP and then rebooting, Windows launched the New Hardware Found wizard. There's also an additional, unusual step. (Hint to printer manufacturers: A picture isn't worth 1,000 words if it doesn't tell you what you need to know.) The setup itself includes the usual steps of removing packing materials, loading paper, plugging in cables, and then installing the software. The quick-start page consists almost entirely of numbered line drawings (I counted a grand total of three words of text) whose meanings aren't all entirely obvious. Setup is a little less straightforward than it should be, however. And since it weighs only 29 pounds, one person can easily move it into place. At 18.1 by 17.6 by 15.2 inches (HWD), you can keep it on or near your desk without feeling overwhelmed. The SP 1000SF is suitably small for a small office or personal AIO.
