Unexpected Situations
Before you contact Ricoh, it may be best to touch base with your supervisor.
- In case a Ricoh representative/technician comes to UBC, you should do the following:
- Consult previously-submitted ticket (look in the “tickets” folder and subfolders in the [[1]] account)
- Check Teams to see if a fellow CLCA has posted more information about this ticket/incident
- Check any other means of communication (staff blog etc.) to see if there is more information
- Adapt to the situation! There are procedures or information that you might not familiar with, and if are confronted with this problem, you could contact your supervisor.
TO REPORT A PROBLEM...
Call
- There is a sticker on the front of the machine with the phone number (1-800-267-9469) for service from Ricoh (our printer manufacturer) as well as the serial number. Have the serial number ready when you call.
- Make sure to double check the serial number with the printer name ex) RC1 (or device that is experiencing an issue) is correct.
- When calling Ricoh from the help desk phone, make sure to add "9" at the start of the phone number on the sticker. Otherwise the call cannot be completed.
- Jot down the name of the person who is helping you (this will come in handy later).
- Inform the phone representative of your issue.
- Double check that the location they have on file for our machine IS the Chapman Learning Commons, Level 2 or 3, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
- Before ending the call, request a ticket number. Each call Ricoh receives is assigned a unique ticket number. This number may not be provided by the call centre unless it is requested. If you have any issues with obtaining a ticket number, please ask for the name of the representative you’re speaking to (if you don’t already know it).
