(4) After changing the settings, press [Save Paper] and press
[Overwrite] button on the screen to confirm it.
(5) Go back to the [Tray Paper Settings] screen, select the tray where paper is fed. On the
[Allocate Paper] screen, select [Allocate from Media Catalog] and select the custom paper
created before and press [Allocate to Tray] button.
Caution: When printing on both sides of a paper with different front and back characteristics, cancel the
auto duplex function and print each side of paper. Before printing, specify print conditions accord-
ing to the condition of each side. There might be the case that print quality may not be satisfactory
when print conditions are not specified properly or when printing on the non-print side of the paper.
This also may cause dirt inside of the machine and other troubles.

Registering paper by the Media Identification Unit
When scanning a paper by the Media Identification Unit, it is possible to search custom paper
whose configurations are similar to those of the custom paper registered in Master Library and
register it.
Use the Media Identification Unit by connecting to the USB slot in the back of the machine.
①Power lamp
Lights up when a USB cable is connected, and the Media Identifica-
tion Unit is ready to start scanning paper.
②Scanning lamp
Lights up when paper is inserted into the scanning area. After the pa-
per is removed, it flashes while paper is being scanned.
③Error lamp
Lights up when an error occurs.
④Paper scanning area
Insert the paper you want to scan here.
(1) Press [Tray Paper Settings] on the operation panel of the machine.
(2) Select [CustomPaper Management.
When paper you want to use is not registered in Master Library
A paper not registered in Master Library cannot output with quality the machine origi-
nally has. Please consult with a sales representative beforehand. For test printing
with a small number of papers, register a paper whose type and weight are similar to
the paper you want to print as custom paper. For cautions when using special types
of paper, see "Characteristics and Conditions of Paper" in "Paper Fundamentals".

Feeding paper
To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it. If you load
paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur.
Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire
stack before loading it into the tray.
(1) Loosen the stack by riffling the sheets. Holding its shorter ends, flex the stack back and
forth to create space between the sheets. Repeat this several times. Fan the stack slowly
so that space can be created between the sheets.
(2) Make sure there is enough space between the sheets, hold the paper with both hands
and use a flat surface to align the long and short sides of the paper.
Cautions when setting paper to Vacuum Feed LCIT RT5120
When setting a paper to Vacuum Feed LCIT RT5120, adjust locations of side and end fences
according to the paper size. Good and bad examples of loading paper are described below. Follow
the "Good example".
Good example
①Back of tray
Set a paper flush against the face plate.
②Side fences
③End fence
Adjust each fence little by little and align the side fence with
the width of the paper. Do not make the width too narrow that
causes "bending" or "wrinkle". Also, make sure that there is
no space between each fence and paper.

Load papers avoiding bending and wrinkle.
Bad example
If the end fence or the side fences are set narrower than the paper size, the paper may be lifted up
or bent. Set each fence according to the paper size.
Feeding paper to long tray
When loading papers that are 420.0 mm (16.54 inches) or longer in the banner sheet tray for wide
LCT, load them as follows:
(1) Check the banner sheet tray for wide LCT.

(2) Press the elevator switch in red frame. LED lamp flashes and goes out after 10 seconds.
(3) Open the cover after LED lamp of the button to move the bottom plate down goes out
completely.
(4) Open the upper cover of the 2-tray.
(5) Hold the paper widthwise and load it little by little.
(6) After loading it, align the side fence to the paper width. Check that the paper is correctly
positioned against the back of the paper tray with the label on which is printed the paper
If you load thin paper or coated paper, load it little
by little. Be careful while you load it so that the pa-
per loaded in the bottom is not dragged.

an extension of the side fence.
(7) When you load a paper that is 420.0-559.9 mm (16.54–22.00 inches) wide, use two short-
end fences. When you load a paper that is 560.0-700.0 mm (22.00–27.55 inches) wide,
use one long-end fence to fit to the paper length.
◎When feeding paper with [paper weight 8] or above
When feeding a paper with paper weight 8 or above, set the attached base in the LCT and
then load the paper.
Set the base so that spaces in the center of the paper feed corner are covered.

"Paper weight" in this machine
In RICOH Pro C9200 Series, paper thickness is referred to as "paper weight". "Paper
weight" is a weight of paper and paperboard per 1 square meter. It is expressed in units
called "g/m2" and is often used in on-demand printing as a measure of paper thickness.
9 types of settings are assigned depending on the paper thickness.
Paper weight Ream weight (based on
the calculation of 109mm
x 788mm)
Paper weight 1 52.3 - 63.0 g/m245.0 - 54.0 kg
Paper weight 2 63.1 - 80.0 g/m254.1 - 69.0 kg <- Factory defaults
Paper weight 3 80.1 - 105.0 g/m269.0 - 90.5 kg
Paper weight 4 105.1 - 163.0 g/m290.5 - 140.0 kg
Paper weight 5 163.1 - 220.0 g/m2140.1 - 189.0 kg
Paper weight 6 220.1 - 256.0 g/m2189.1 - 220.0 kg
Paper weight 7 256.1 - 300.0 g/m2220.1 - 258.0 kg
Paper weight 8 300.1 - 350.0 g/m2256.1 - 309.5 kg
Paper weight 9 350.1 - 470.0 g/m2* 301.0 - 404.0 kg
*For paper of 400.1 - 470.0g/m2, only paper evaluated in advance can be used.

ical values in the direction you want to move the print position (by-axis).
Setting guide for envelope to tray

the guide to the tray when printing on envelopes.
(1) Press the Power button near the tray. When the tray starts to move down, wait for a few
seconds until it stops.
When pressing the power button near the tray, the button lights up in orange.
(2) Attach the support tray by inserting the two protrusions on its underside of support tray
into the holes on the finisher shift tray.
