Compatibility Confirmation Before Ordering
Send the old printhead label, printer model, current ink type, cable photos and nozzle test before purchase. Do not replace Gen5 with Gen6 or Gen5i unless your printer supplier confirms the conversion.
Installation & Handling Notice
Printheads are precision components. Use trained technicians, antistatic handling, correct cables, clean ink path, matched waveform, stable negative pressure and proper maintenance procedure. Do not touch the nozzle plate or electrical contacts.
FAQ
Can I choose by the name Gen5, Gen6 or Gen5i only? No. Always confirm the exact Ricoh model code on the old printhead label, such as MH5420, MH5440, MH5320, MH5340, TH5241, MH2420 or GH2220.
Can one Ricoh printhead replace another Ricoh model? Not automatically. Cable, board, firmware, waveform, ink path, ink port and printer settings may differ.
