Separation Roller Adjustment - Ricoh FAX7000L Field Service Manual

Separation Roller Adjustment

The separation torque and pressure can be adjusted to correct double feed or non-feed problems, or to cus-
tomize the machine to meet user requirements if non-standard paper types are frequently used as documents.
Adjustment is done by adding or removing
spacers [A] for torque, or [B] for pressure.
The machine is factory-set with 5 pressure
spacers and 3 torque spacers. Do not use
more than 6 pressure spacers or 5 torque
spacers. Always keep within the shaded zone
on the graph opposite, as close to the center
as possible.
If the user uses thinner paper than usual,
try to remove spacers (both [A] and [B]).
If the user uses thicker paper than usual,
try to add spacers (both [A] and [B]).
Use trial and error until document feed is
satisfactory.
Double feed: Add torque spacers and/or
remove pressure spacers.
Non-feed:
Add pressure spacers and/or
remove torque spacers.
