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 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.

[How to operate]
1. Press [Standard Procedure] key.
2. Press [▼] and [Media Settings].
3. Press [Special Wind Setting].
4. Select [Inactive] or [Forced Wind].
CIP Training L5160/L5130
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 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).
