The Ricoh's regular tray does not support custom-size paper, like 9x12 or 9.5x12.5. The only way to print on those sizes is to use the bypass tray. Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 29 Nov 2006, at 12:44 AM, Raymond Horton wrote: I like my Ricoh AP2610 very much.

Hmm, I have been spending five minutes experimenting and I see the problem to which you are referring. The Ricoh doesn't want to accept custom sizes in the regular tray if it knows about them, but will print to them if it thinks it is another size... Depending on the project, one might be

Andrew There are three models of the 5100. The DTN is the model that has the duplexer. The TN has everything but the duplexer and a bit less ram, and the N is a bare bones model with no print server card and only one tray besides the multipurpose tray. The legal sized duplexing issue

Hi Johannes, I have to say, I'm a little nervous about buying used or refurbished. But, that aside -- does anyone know offhand the differences between those two models? Is it just the speed (PPM)? Cheers, - Darcy - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Brooklyn, NY On 28 Nov 2006, at 2:31 AM, Johannes

Darcy, I shared your reluctance to buy a used unit, but last Friday was the first anniversary of my buying an HP 5siMX from a local volume dealer here in Indianapolis. I also prematurely retired a Ricoh. I paid $375 for the 5si and it's still going strong. It has the duplexer in it, and it

Hello Darcy, I work with two 5000s and a 5100. The 5100 is faster and the 5000 are older, other than that there are really no differences that I can tell. I have had some font issues where the 5100 would not print properly but the 5000 would printing the same document. I've also had it the other

If anyone has any info about whether there is in fact a new-and- improved, more robust duplexer for the LaserJet 5200, I'd be very much obliged. The ability to duplex 100# offset (i.e. 40 lb. bond) paper is a very big priority for me. It sounds like I may be better off simply buying a new

Hi Lee, I'd be very surprised if the duplexer for the 5200 involved any substantial engineering changes from the 5100 duplexer. In any case, it's rated for a max paper weight of 120 g/sq.m., which is equivalent to 32 lb. bond or 80 lb. offset, so I suspect the 100 lb. offset paper (148

I like my Ricoh AP2610 very much. I don't own the duplexer, and I don't use the bypass tray for large paper, or even for letter-sized paper. For double-sided printing, no matter what the quantity, I simply load the paper, after printing one side, into the regular tray. Works quite well.
