Additional Functions CAUTION If you enter an incorrect value, ink may be ejected onto the platen without the media. In that case, clean the platen. For cleaning the platen, see the section "Cleaning the Platen" in the manual "Requests for Daily Care and Maintenance". When [Auto Detect Media Width] is set to [Off], set the right-side edge position and width manually. Press [Next] to set [Media Right Side Edge Position] and [Media Width]. In [Media Right Side Edge Position], enter the position of the right-side edge of media with a range of -10 to 10 of the scale on the post-heater. If it is -4 on the post-heater scale, enter "-4".

Additional Functions In [Media Width], enter the media width a range of 297 to 1,626mm (approx. 11.7 to 64.0inches)(for RICOH Pro L5160) or 297 to 1,372mm(approx. 11.7 to 54.0inches)(for RICOH Pro L5130). Additional Drive Mode of Roll-Up Holder Changing Roll-Up Drive Mode [Overview] This section explains the procedures for changing roll-up mode. The machine can offer two roll-up modes for handling wide variety of media from thin films to thick banners. Basically, we recommend using "Inactive" drive mode, the default setting, unless there’s problem on print quality and/or media feeding. However, if the media has not been fed and does not come out from the media output location (Cure Heater) and/or the media rises on the platen (see following figure), media feeding behavior may be improved by selecting "Forced Wind" drive mode. Please use roll-up holder and select appropriate drive mode for improving media misfeed issues. Fig. Photo and schematic illustration of risen media on the platen.

Additional Functions Tab. Advantages and disadvantages when using "Forced Wind" drive mode. [How to operate] 1. Press [Standard Procedure] key. 2. Press [▼] and [Media Settings]. 3. Press [Special Wind Setting]. 4. Select [Inactive] or [Forced Wind].

Additional Functions ⚫ [Inactive] : Roll-up holder rotate as intermittent drive (stop and go) with slackening media while printing or feeding. (Default) *Basically, we recommend using this mode unless there are problems. ⚫ [Forced Wind] : Roll-up holder rotates continuously with tensioning media while printing or feeding. *This mode can improve media misfeed when using thin media such as films. ⚫ After changing roll-up mode, please re-adjust media feed quantity. For details, see "Adjusting the Media Feed Quantity" in the manual "Operating Instructions for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160". ⚫ "Forced wind" roll-up mode is more likely to cause media skewing or floating than "Inactive" roll-up mode. If the print quality issues such as "Uneven Density" caused by skewing occur, please use "Inactive" drive mode. ("Solutions manual for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160" provides the solutions for each print quality issue. Please also refer to it for troubleshooting.) ⚫ The regular print quality cannot be guaranteed when using "Forced wind" roll-up mode. If you may not obtain the print result you expect, make sure to use appropriate media. For details about appropriate media, see "About Media" in the manual "Operating Instructions for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160".

Additional Functions Additional Drive Mode of Roll Holder Changing Roll Holder Drive Mode [Overview] This section explains the procedures for changing roll holder drive mode. The machine can offer two drive modes of roll holder for stable media feeding by loading appropriate back-tension. Basically, we recommend using "Inactive" drive mode, the default setting, unless there’s problem on print quality and/or media feeding. However, when using the media that easily sticks to print and back surfaces each other (see the following figure), the print quality and media feeding behavior may be improved by selecting "Forceless Feed" drive mode. Fig. Schematic illustration of normal media feeding behavior (above) and sticking print and back surface of media (below).

Additional Functions Tab. Advantages and disadvantages when using "Forceless Feed" drive mode. Additional Drive Mode of Roll Holder [How to operate] 1. Press [Standard Procedure] Key. 2. Press [▼] and [Media Settings]. 3. Press [▼] and [Special Feed Setting] 4. Select [Inactive] or [Forceless Feed].

Additional Functions ⚫ [Inactive] : Roll holder rotate as intermittent drive (stop and go) with loading back tension to the media while printing or feeding. (Default) *Basically, we recommend using this mode unless there’s problem. ⚫ [Forceless Feed] : Roll holder does not drive and not load back tension to the media while printing or feeding. *This mode can improve uneven back tensioning caused by stickiness of media surfaces. ⚫ After changing roll holder drive mode, please re-adjust media feed quantity. For details, see "Adjusting the Media Feed Quantity" in the manual "Operating Instructions for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160". ⚫ "Forceless Feed" roll holder drive mode is more likely to cause media skewing or floating than "Inactive" drive mode when using ordinary media (not sticky media). If the print quality issues such as "Uneven Density" caused by skewing occur, please use "Inactive" drive mode. ("Solutions manual for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160" provides the solutions for each print quality issue. Please also refer to it for troubleshooting.) ⚫ In case of sticking on the roll media and not obtaining print quality you expect, please pull out the media once and wind it around the roll core again. Please see "Uneven density (Media is stuck on the platen)" in the manual "Solutions manual for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160". ⚫ The regular print quality cannot be guaranteed when using "Forceless Feed" drive mode. If you may not obtain the print result you expect, make sure to use appropriate media. For details about appropriate media, see "About Media" in the manual "Operating Instructions for RICOH Pro L5130/L5160".
