Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ricoh manufacturer part number for M022626?
The Ricoh manufacturer part number is N221414L, also referenced as N221414R. Mimaki uses their own OEM part numbers (M022626, replacing M015068, M016979, and M013497) for this same Ricoh GEN5 MH5420/MH5440 printhead assembly. If you see N221414L or N221414R referenced in technical documentation, this is the same head.
