  Note: (*v3) 
    For these Device classes a "Java-less" version (IBS v3/v4) is available. 

  Note: (*J!) 
    For these models no SDK/J is pre-installed, and no "Java-less" version of IBS 
    is available; therefore, an Java option SD card is required on the device. 
	
  Note: (*EOL) 
    This Device class is no longer supported, as it has reached its end of life. 

================================================================================
[Distribution]

This medium contains material needed for installation. 

For SAP systems, the latest Device types supporting IBS can also be downloaded 
from the World Wide Web. Please contact Technical support. 

================================================================================
[Limitations] 

For limitations refer to the Limitations section in the User's Manual - Part I. 
In addition, observe the following. 

================================================================================
[Installation]

The product consists of 3 components. 
For installation on the device and of IBS-CC, refer to IBS User's Manual - Part I. 
For installation on the issuing system, refer to IBS User's Manual - Part II. 

Please observe also any applicable Installation Notes below. 

================================================================================
[Installation Note (*i1)] 

If a firmware version, as required per IBS Service Manual Appendix A.3, is 
 not yet available for download, please contact Technical Support. 

================================================================================
[Installation Note (*j02,*j07,*j13,*j14,*j16,*j18,*j20,*j21)] 

For IBS v3/v4: 
IBS-CC automatically chooses the correct PJL file for each device model. 

================================================================================
[Installation Note (*F1)]  

For the installation of IBS on a device of Device class 
{ [DC103], [DC110], [DC112], [DC114], [DC116], [DC117], [DC118], [DC119], [DC120],
  [DC121], [DC122], [DC123], [DC124], [DC125], [DC126], [DC129], [DC130], [DC133],
  [DC134], [DC135], [DC140], [DC141], [DC142], [DC145] }, note that 
the HD Directory List (part of the PCL Config. Page) may fail to list both the 
Status Indication Files and the folder "0:\pcl\ibs\" and its contents. In that case, 
these cannot be used to check the status nor as a criterion for successful 
installation.  
For more information, refer to [LIM44D] in the IBS User's Manual - Part I. 

================================================================================
[Installation Note (*F2)]  

For printing from recent Windows systems, it is recommended NOT to use the RPCS 
Windows v4 Print Class driver. Instead, consider using one of the Ricoh 
Universal Drivers (Windows v3 driver), e.g. PCL6. If still RPCS is desired and 
used, note that a service call would occur on the device with IBS installed. 
To work around that, a special "convert.ini" needs to be installed, which will 
enforce passthrough mode. It is shipped as "RPCS_Passthrough.ini" in the "\tools\" 
folder. It can be installed on the device via drag-&-drop onto "_upload_file.BAT" 
(after configuring the device's IP address). 
Please refer also to limitation [LIM47D] in the User's Manual - Part I. 
This only applies to convert v11.10 and lower. 

================================================================================
[Installation Note (Barcode & OCR Package (BOP))]  

From IBS v4.1, the legacy font-based "Barcode & OCR Package" is integrated with 
IBS-CC. Install IBS-CC, then refer to "Readme BOP.txt" in its "BOP" sub-folder.
