Ricoh 1060. The Ricoh 1060 is a compact engine designed for lighter duty
use than the 4150 and 4081. You'll find this engine in GCC Technologies'
Personal Laser Printer and Business Laser Printer, IBM's Personal Page
Printer II, and Texas Instruments' OmniLaser 2106. The 1060 departs from
the write-white and OPC belt design found in Ricoh's 4081 and 4150; it's
a write-black engine that uses a disposable drum. Its toner is held in a
separate hopper.

On the IBM 4216-03X printers, these default emulation modes are stored
in a Non-Violatable Random Access Memory (NVRAM). These relatively
expensive chips have the advantage of keeping their content even when no
power is available to them. Unfortunately, the maximum write/read cycle
count is relatively limited. It may only be good for 5000 cycles or
less. Therefore, constantly switching the emulation modes may not be the
best idea in the long run, because it may be necessary to repair the
printer if the NVRAM doesn't work any more.
