Fanning The Paper - Ricoh Pro C7500 Operator's Manual

2. Paper Specifications and Adding Paper
• Check the paper setting before printing. If the paper differs from the paper setting, a mismatch error
will occur when you print.
• While printing, do not change the paper size of the tray that is specified as the destination.
• If the surface of the paper is dusty, white spots might appear on prints. To remove dust, fan the
paper thoroughly.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• If long grain paper does not uncurl properly, try short grain paper instead.
• To prevent more than one sheet of paper being fed together in a bundle, fan the sheets thoroughly
before setting them on the paper tray. If more than one sheet of paper is fed together at a time, it
may cause a paper jam.
• If the sheets of paper are in close contact with each other, causing a multi feed to occur, remove
the paper from the tray, fan the paper thoroughly, and then load it on the tray again.
• When loading paper on a tray which has a few sheets of paper, multiple sheets of paper may be
fed at once from the tray. Take out all sheets, fan the sheets, and then load them again.
• When you load paper into the paper tray for the first time or when you change the type of paper in
the paper tray, be sure to specify the appropriate paper settings on the [Media] hub or in the [Tray
Status] tile of the [Home] hub.
See page 154 "Changing Tray Paper Settings".
• You may hear the sound of rubbing paper. This is not a malfunction.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark on the paper tray.

Fanning the Paper

• If you load coated paper, label paper, transparencies, or thick paper of 150.1– 470.0 g/m
(55.1 lb. Cover–172 lb. Cover), it is important that you fan the sheets thoroughly. Misfeeds may
occur if paper is not fanned thoroughly. If the machine feeds several sheets of paper together or it
does not feed paper, fan paper and load it again.
