How to change paper thickness on MPC2051
To change the paper thickness settings on the Ricoh Aficio MP C2051:
1. Access Paper Type Settings:
- Go to the printer’s menu and navigate to the paper type settings.
2. Select the Correct Paper Type:
- Use options such as *Cardstock*, *Coated Paper*, or *Coated Paper: Gloss* if printing on thick paper.
3. Adjust SP Mode Settings (if needed):
- Change *SP 2652 Thick 3: Bias: FC* to adjust the current for the paper transfer roller when using Thick Paper 3 in full-color mode.
4. Ensure Paper Weight Compatibility:
- The printer supports up to 256 g/m² (68 lbs) from Tray 1 and the bypass tray.
- Duplex printing is limited to 105 g/m².

Firmware update
To update the firmware on a Ricoh Aficio MP C2051, follow these steps:
1. Use the Correct Firmware: Ensure you have the correct firmware files for the C2051. The same firmware can also be used for the C2551.
2. File Format:
- If updating via an SD card, use `.fwu` files.
- If updating remotely, use `.rfu` files. Renaming `.fwu` files to `.rfu` will not work.
3. SD Card Requirements:
- Use a small-capacity SD card (preferably 1GB or 2GB). Larger cards, such as 16GB, may not be recognized.
- If the machine does not read the firmware from an SD card, try a different one.
4. Installation Process:
- Copy the firmware files onto the SD card.
- Insert the SD card into the machine.
- Follow the machine’s firmware update procedure.
If the update does not work, ensure you are using the correct file type and a compatible SD card.
