    Ricoh MP5001 ADF stops

    I only service a couple of these machines so I am not real familiar with there quirks . I have a 5001 that won't auto feed paper through ADF. If you choose a cassette it works fine. So it's got to be a size detection sensor on the ADF or some adjustment I'm not aware of. thanks

      Typically just dust built up on the paper size sensors on the ADF feed tray - especially in DustZona.
      Clean em.

        Is this like the older machines that had document size sensors in the DF entrance? If so, it might not hurt to clean those sensors, or at least make sure they are operating properly.
        Weirdest thing that, at least on the older machines with document size sensors in the ADF entrance tray, if those sensors got coated with enough dust, the sensors would falsely detect that the original documents were larger than they actually were.
        I haven't seen machines for a couple of years though, so I'm probably wrong. Sorry about that.

          Let me be a little more specific as to my first reply. They ADF is where you feed in your originals. By choose a cassette I am assuming that you are talking about choosing one of the paper trays. The ADF handles originals. The cassettes/paper trays do not. They handle the paper you copy/print on. So dustzona, WTF are you talking about?

            The way I read it APS is not working on the DF, probably a dirty sensor.

              Then why did he say "If you choose a cassette it works fine"?

                I think He means, if you choose "Tray One" and then hit Start, it will pull the original and make a copy, but with Auto Tray Select highlighted, it must not.

                    If the doc feed doesn't feed the original only when you are trying to copy from the bypass feed, it is probably likely that the paper sensor in the bypass feed is either stuck or faulty.
