Originals; Misfed Paper - Ricoh VT6000 Manual

Originals

If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the
original, make at least a 5 mm, 0.2", margin at the leading edge; otherwise, the
paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might become dirty and
cause black lines on prints.
If you use originals that have bold letters or solid images at the leading edges,
you might get prints with dirty edges. In this case, insert the widest margin first, or
raise the printing speed.
If you use paste-up originals, make sure that the pasted parts hold firmly to the
base sheet. If the thickness of the paste-up originals is more than 0.2 mm, 2/250"
and the space between the pasted parts is less than 2 mm, 2/25", a shadow
might appear on the print.
Under the following conditions, the machine might not detect the original on the
exposure glass. If you press the Master Making key again, the machine will start
making a master anyway:
•
When you set a dark original on the exposure glass.
• When the original is not centered according to the size marks on the left
scale.
• If you do not open the platen cover at an angle of more than 25 degrees
with the exposure glass when you replace originals.
• If the machine is installed under a strong light.

Misfed Paper

After removing the misfed paper in the paper feed section, press the drum rota-
tion button until the beeper sounds. Then, press the Reset key.
When printing a large solid area on A3, 11" x 17" paper, the sides of the print
tend to curl up after the print is fed out to the paper delivery table. The next sheet
that feeds out pushes against the curled sheet and a paper misfeed occurs. In
this case, slow the printing speed down (Setting 1 or 2).
