ricoh sp5200s

[stobby2]

got small issue with sp5200s. Our guy is away so hopefully someone will know this. When photocopying the copy is very slightly too short so the top is exactly in line (vertically) but at the bottom the copy is slightly shorter by about 2mm. The copy then has a thin line at the bottom of the sheet from left to right presumably due to the copy length. I have been through the settings but cannot find anything on this. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Re: ricoh sp5200s

you will need to adjust the DF registration in service mode. You will find it under system sp > peripherals (from memory i think)

Am I right to assume that this only happens through the ADF? Magnification is ok from the glass?

Adjust ADF magnification adjustment under SP6

Cheers Kimi. I generally deal with Canon and Sharp so not used to this model. Now l know what l am looking for, shouldn't be a problem
Thanks again

Wonderful, except that's not your problem.
You clearly stated that the image is reduced, so adjusting registration won't resolve that.

Oh well. Back to the drawing board. The length of the image is the problem. It does not actually show when you look at the image. looks fine however if for example you copy the print count sheet the bottom horizontal line is approx 1 to 2 mm higher than the original if you hold them up to the light and you end up with another horizontal line just below it. On normal print this is fine. I had forgotten to check this on the glass so will check that out tomorrow as well
Thanks again

No No. Far from it. I will be trying your solution tomorrow. Just that l had a reply from someone else saying that your solution would not work. He has stated the following:

Be assured we appreciate any help from you guys offered and have sorted numerous problems thanks to this site.

On the contrary. I will be following your advice tomorrow!

You might have far less problem by looking at the green cards, total posts and rep power when you have 2 people giving conflicting advice.

There 2 registration settings for the ADF, lead edge and trail edge. Lead edge set the synchronization between the lead edges of the original and copy paper. Trail edge adjusts the speed of the original across the slit glass.

You need to adjust DF magnification not registration.

Many thanks for the info. Will be checking this out tomorrow. I Hate working on machines i am not trained on. Quite often when Messing about with settings you are not familiar can end up making things worse. I will be trying your suggestions and hopefully can sort it easily. If not have to wait for our Ricoh guy to come back
Again. Many thanks for your assitance

Re: ricoh sp5200s

Try this on you line. SP2103 1-4 set all 4 to 2.0

Hope it helps.

He clearly said that the copy is reduced by 2mm +/-
Those settings are for setting the erase margins and are entirely unrelated
