ricoh 1045 copies are enlarged front to rear

[hoff247]

image is not skewed. Been in the copier business for a while now, this is just the first ricoh i have worked on. On the toshibas there is a code to reduce image size front to rear that is what I was checking for. I will see copier again tomorrow and will check some things you guys mentioned.

If your losing 1/4 page something is hosed - its not going to be a software adjustment unless somebody really wants to mess with your head. Easy way to check is to print a full SMC report SP5990 - anything non-default will be marked with a "*", and I think that model also prints a page with all the non-defaults

You'll also have a list of the codes if you can make it out - some of them are useless unless you have the manual.

I used to work on analog Toshiba (Lanier branded) which were great machines. Unfortunately Toshiba was late to the market with their digital lineup (unless you count what lanier sold as a 6838d) and we were never really impressed with them. Neither were our customers. And I think the FC-22 was intended to drive people insane - of course I'll say the same for the MP4000

here is a copy of a seldrum test chart I made in the copier. Its the same from glass or doc feed. Running paper LT. If your familiar with this test chart there is some info missing from the top and bottom of the chart.

I can't tell from your scan whether the image is enlarged and runs right up to the edge of the page with no voids, or if the image is slightly enlarged with standard 2mm voids, or if the image is 100% with 10mm voids.

The second case would be just an adjustment of magnification (2909-1 or 2909-2). The last case is the easiest, just adjust the voids back down to 2mm (2101-1 through 2101-7).

In the first case, if both are out of wack I'd have to conclude that someone is indeed messing with your head. How could both get so far out of adjustment, unless it was on purpose? =^..^=

Me neither - could you post at least a 300dpi image and mark the leading edge.
