Ricoh G-P3, Service Manual

Page: 363 / 413

When paper with a small width (less than A5) is put in the tray, it does not lift the actuator [G] of the paper
width sensor. Because of this, the paper width sensor detects the paper that has a width less than A5.
By-pass Tray Feed and Size Detection
Paper Feed Mechanism
When the paper detection feeler [A] detects a sheet of paper, the by-pass solenoid [B] unlocks the feed
shaft stopper at the left end of the by-pass feed shaft [C].
The by-pass feed shaft has the feed roller [D] and two cams [E]. These cams move the paper support plate
[F] up and down and pushes the sheets of paper against the feed roller.
Paper Size Detection Mechanism
There is no paper size detection mechanism on the by-pass tray in this printer. Paper size on the by-pass
tray can be adjusted with the operation panel or printer driver.
