If you ever get curious and bored - I would be interested to know what 
the Ricoh does if the signal is not EOP.  It's clear that the Ricoh here 
is not expecting any retransmissions of the current page.  And in my 
experience the Ricoh actually prints out the last page anyway - even 
though it sent RTN.  The question, however, is whether this is to be 
interpreted as:

  "Yes, we got the page, but the quality is unacceptable, although we 
printed it out anyway."

OR (like the man page used to say):

   "No we didn't get that page, and we can never get that page or any 
more pages from you."
