Ricoh Aficio MP 2000 printing landscape then portrait.

I didn't mean a driver issue, most applications have their own print settings I.e. Adobe Reader or Word when you print using these you will normally see a tick box called " collate " on the first page after pressing print this plays havoc with any device and overrides any driver command.

On the PCL drivers for this model, there is a check box in Printing Preferences for "Ignore Application Collate".

Thank you guys for your input. I will try your suggestions and see if they work. I am pretty sure that every setting was set to a default but it doesn't hurt to look at them again just to make sure. Just by chance, do you think it could be a problem with the formatter / PWB??

Thanks

If it were a board fault I'd more expect to see completely random output as opposed to just normal rotate sort. It'll be a silly driver setting somewhere, or something in user tools.

I have in a few cases had a faulty paper out switch cause a paper tray to go into paper out for a few seconds after feeding a sheet of paper. This could cause a machine to feed from one tray, then think it is out of paper and switch to the other tray.

+1 I've had this.

So, to see if this is the issue, could one possibly take all the paper from other trays to see if one tray with one kind of paper will do the trick? Does this even make sense?

Thanks

Hello Fellow Techs,

I have a Ricoh Aficio MP2000 Copier. Every time I print a multi-page document It prints a landscape print out then a portrait print out. now the printouts are not duplicate it just alternates the paper. I tried reloading the driver, and tried different pc's still the same issue. The driver was retrieved from the OEM website (just an FYI) any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I've had this happen, It was a driver issue. If you are using the PCL 6 try the PCL 5, or vise versa

This thread is 5 years old, your pic is not MP 2000, driver is Konica, and why would you use bypass.
