What to do if my Ricoh Copier cannot detect original size?
If your Ricoh Copier cannot detect the original size, ensure originals are placed correctly. Select paper manually, avoiding the Auto Paper Select function and Auto Reduce/Enlarge. For non-standard originals, input both horizontal and vertical sizes. Also, you can place the original on the exposure glass. Finally, ensure that originals are actually placed on the copier.
Why does my Ricoh MP 1813L Copier say 'Check original orientation'?
