Multimedia Printer series
Thank you for purchasing the Multimedia Printer series drive MP5240A (hereafter referred to as "the
drive"). The drive allows you to play DVD-ROM/CD-ROM media, write to and play DVD+R/CD-R
media, write to, play, and edit DVD+RW/CD-RW media that are rewritable.
In order to operate the drive connected with your computer, you need some writing software. For
information about necessary items for connecting with a computer and about the software you use,
refer to the documentation of the software.
The following marks indicate media that can be used with the drive.
This media is read (play)-only.
For DVD-R/DVD-RW media, read/playback is only supported. DVD-RAM media cannot be used.

A technology called JustLink®incorporated that
overcomes buffer underrun problems
Buffer underrun errors that would occur when data transfer falls behind writing operation has been
inevitable for CD-R/RW drives. JustLink®, which we at Ricoh developed on our own, is a technology
that predicts possible occurrences of buffer underrun errors in advance and automatically avoids them.
The MP5240A is the industry's first-ever drive that features JustLink®. With this technology, the
MP5240A ensures stable writing operation even under circumstances where buffer underrun errors
tend to occur with conventional drives.
JustSpeed®(Optimum Write Speed Control
function)
This is a function to automatically set an appropriate media write speed to match the capability of the
media used.

Obey the following cautions when handling the drive or discs.
Cautions During Installation
Install the drive in accordance with the specifications. Be careful to avoid locations
likely to cause vibration or shock.
●
Avoid locations where there is high humidity, excessive dust, or poor ventilation.●
Avoid locations in direct sunlight, with severe changes in humidity, or places where
there are extremely high or low temperature variations.
●
Don't use the drive near radio or television receivers. It may interfere with their
reception.
●
Do not disassemble the drive. Dismantling the drive to attempt repairs or for other
reasons is dangerous because the laser may radiate outside the unit.
●
Cautions During Use
For DVD-R/DVD-RW media, read/playback is only supported. DVD-RAM media cannot
be used.
●
Don't suddenly move the drive from a cold place to a warm place, or suddenly raise the
room temperature. Condensation may occur, causing abnormal operation.
●
Make sure to remove the media before moving the drive. The media may be damaged,
causing data loss.
●
Be careful to prevent foreign objects such as liquids or metal from entering the drive.
Should by chance a foreign object enter the drive, please consult the dealer where the
drive was purchased.
●
Don't use benzene or thinner to clean dirt from the drive. Don't allow chemicals such
as insecticides to contact the drive. Use a soft cloth to wipe the drive, or moisten a
cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water and use it to clean particularly dirty
areas.
●
Don't cutoff the electric power while the drive is operating.●
When connecting two E-IDE devices to the Primary or Secondary connectors, make
sure that the two devices are not both configured as Master, or both as Slave. If they
are both set the same, Windows may fail to run or recognize the drives.
●
The total length of the E-IDE cable should be less than 18 inches (about 45 cm).●
Make sure the power to the host computer is turned OFF before connecting.●

Never insert a damaged disc into the drive.●
In wintertime, don't use a disc soon after bringing in from outdoors. Use it only after it
has reached room temperature.
●
Cautions Concerning Disc Cleaning
Remove the media by pressing the eject button.●
Use compressed air to clear dust from the media. (Spray the compressed air for about
5 seconds).
●
Check to see if there is dirt on the surface of the media. Be careful not to touch the
media with the fingers when doing this. (See Fig. 1)
●
After cleaning the media with compressed air, place it on the media tray and mount
it.(See Fig. 2)
●
We suggest using dry air cleaner as compressed air for cleaning.●
Other Cautions
When moving the equipment, make sure that the media has been removed from the
drive.
●
When connecting connectors, make sure that the power is OFF. If the power is ON,
there is a possibility of short circuit.
●
When not using the drive for a long period, dust may adhere to the disc tray. Before
using the drive again, use dry air cleaner to remove the dust from the tray.
●
Do not use any commercially available cleaning kit, because such a kit may damage
the drive.
●

JustLink®has made auto-avoidance against buffer underrun
errors possible.
●
JustSpeed®Optimum Write Speed Control function.● The drive is a super-combination drive that integrates DVD+RW/+R and CD-RW
capabilities. Capitalizing on Ricoh's expertise accumulated with existing CD-RW and
DVD-ROM combination drives, we have developed some new mechanisms to achieve
incorporation of DVD+RW rewrite capabilities.
●
DVD writing has been made possible by tuning up a two-LD (laser diode) one-lens
pick-up that has one laser diode for CD and another for DVD.
●
With our analog front-end processor LSI for controlling pick-up, seek, and servo
mechanisms, as well as our digital controller LSI for controlling encoding/decoding,
both of which are newly developed, 4x-speed DVD writing which requires even more
precise control has been achieved.
●
The "radial-tilt correction mechanism" incorporated in the drive senses the disc
warpage and inclination and thereby corrects the laser angle so that the laser is always
directed toward the disc surface at the right angle. (It functions only when writing to or
playing DVD.)
●
A high-precision stepping motor is incorporated. This enables precise seeking even on
DVD+RW/+R with a narrow track pitch, and achieved reduction of operating noise
●
As a CD-RW drive, it provide the performance of 24x CD-R write, 10x CD-RW rewrite,
and 40x CD-ROM/R/RW read speeds.
●
As a DVD-ROM drive, it provides a performance of 8x read speed.● An improved anti-heat design means that no cooling fan is needed.● Easy-to-use tray model.● Enhanced-IDE (ATAPI) model● Compliant with industry standard Orange Book Part II (CD-R) and Part III (CD-RW).● Can read not only CD-R and CD-RW discs, but also video CDs, music CDs, photo
CDs*1, and CD-Text
●
The recorded CD-RW media can be played in a DVD player or a multi-read CD-ROM
Player, maintaining future compatibility.
●
Supports random UDF for easy writing to CD-RW discs.● UDMA-capable
*1 Bundled software does not support this writing format.
