      Leah VegaAug 20, 2025
      If misfeeds occur frequently with your Ricoh Printer, make sure that you are loading paper only as high as the upper limit markings on the side fences of the paper tray, or the markings on the paper guides of the bypass tray. Exceeding the printer's capacity can cause misfeeds.
