What to do if my Ricoh Printer cannot detect original size?
If your Ricoh Printer cannot detect the original size, it may be because the original is not placed correctly or the machine is unable to detect the size. Ensure the originals are placed correctly. If the issue persists, manually select a paper tray without using [Auto Paper Select], and specify a reproduction ratio without using [Auto Reduce / Enlarge].
Why does my Ricoh Printer say 'Memory is full'?
