Ricoh VT3500, Service Manual

Page: 80 / 330

The side pads [A] installed in the front and rear paper side guides prevent
multiple feed. These are especially useful when thin paper is used. After
adjusting the paper side plates to the proper paper width (so that they touch
the paper lightly), move the front and rear side pad levers to the right.
Normally, the side pads pressure should be released by moving the levers to
the left.
The separation plate pressure can be adjusted to match the type of paper
being used. The plate which supports the pressure plate spring [B] can be
moved up or down by turning the eccentric cam shaft [C].
If multiple paper feed frequently occurs, the plate should be moved up.
If paper misfeeds frequently, the plate should be moved down.
