Fusing Unit Entrance Guide - Ricoh MT-C1 Service Manual

6.12.5 FUSING UNIT ENTRANCE GUIDE

The height of the entrance guide [A] can be adjusted.
• Normal or thick paper. For normal or thick paper, the guide should be up with
the screws in the outer holes (this is the standard or default position). Thick
paper does not bend easily and is less likely to crease. The standard position
also allows direct access to the gap between the hot roller and pressure roller.
This prevents thick paper from buckling against the hot roller, which can lead to
blurring at the leading edge of the copy.
• Thin paper. If wrinkling occurs with thin paper, adjust the guide down by
removing both screws and moving them to the inner holes. This lengthens the
paper path slightly to prevent the paper from wrinkling in the unit.
NOTE: 1) Before shipping, the screws are set in the outer holes.
2) If the customer is experiencing problems with paper sizes larger than
A4, then use the inner holes.
