Paper Cassette - Ricoh B286 Service Manual

Paper Feed and Registration
Manual Feed Table
The manual feed table (bypass tray) is the main station for paper supply for this machine.
(The roll feeder and paper cassette are options.) Because of this, the manual feed table is
not a "bypass" tray, although the name for the manual feed table is "bypass tray" in the
User Tools menus.
The manual feed table feeds one pre-cut sheet.
Roll Feeder
The cutter cuts the paper after the machine feeds the specified paper length. The RF exit
sensor monitors paper feed.
The start time of the cutter is controlled by the cutting mode set by the user at the operation
panel:
! Preset 1. Cuts a preset SEF length. The size of the original is ignored.
! Preset 2. Cuts a preset LEF length. The size of the original is ignored.
! Synchro. Cuts the copy paper to the same length as the original.
! Variable. Cuts the copy to the length that was input at the operation panel.
After the last cut of a job, the feed roller changes direction and feeds the leading edge of
the paper to its home position. This makes sure that the paper path is not blocked when
paper feed starts for the next job.

Paper Cassette

The optional universal-type paper cassette, installed in the bottom of the roll feeder, feeds
cut sheets.
Paper Width and Type Settings
After a roll is installed, the width of the paper and the type of paper must be set. For more,
see section 1.2 "Main Machine Installation (B286)."
