CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standard and IEC825. This means that this
machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of
spot damage to the retina.
The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of servicing.
1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a unit, not as individual parts.
2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner cartridge, and drum cartridge.
3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected when removing and installing the optical
system.
4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.
Warning!
This product is a class A product.
If it is operated in households, offices or similar surroundings, it can produce radio interferences at other
appliances, so that the user has to take adequate countermeasures.

1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
This Service Manual uses some pictographs to assure safe opera-
tion.
Please understand the meanings of pictographs before servicing.
WARNING: If this WARNING is ignored, serious injury or death
could occur.
CAUTION: If this CAUTION is ignored, an injury or damage to
property could occur.
A. Warning for servicing
1) Be sure to use the rated voltage and the rated current specified on
the rating label. Avoid complex wiring. It may cause a fire.
2) If smoke or abnormal smell occurs, stop servicing and disconnect
the power plug. It may cause a fire.
3) Be sure to set the ground wire. If not, a fire or an electric shock
may occur. The ground wire is required also for protecting the
machine from lightning.
4) If the ground wire is connected to the following places, an ex-
plosion, fire, or electric shock could result. Be sure to avoid it.
•Gas pipe
•Lightning conductor
•Water pipe (which is not approved as a ground pipe by the
authority), water faucet
•Ground wire for telephone
5) Do not cut or modify the power cord.
Do not put a weight on the power cord. Do not bend or pull it
extremely. These actions could result in fire.
6) Keep the power cord away from a heater or a heated material.
Remove dust from the power plug. If the power plug with dust on
it should be inserted into the power outlet, it may cause a fire or
an electric shock.
7) Do not put a container with water in it, or a small piece of metal on
the machine. If water or a metal piece would drop inside the
machine, it could cause a fire or an electric shock.
8) When touching the power plug, inserting/removing the telephone
line connector, or operating the machine, be sure to dry and clean
your hands to prevent against an electric shock.
B. Cautions for servicing
1) Except when in a communication test or other unavoidable situa-
tions, be sure to disconnect the power plug, the printer cable, the
network cable, and the telephone line from the machine when
servicing.
2) There are several heated areas in the machine, which can cause
a burn if touched. Use great care when servicing.
3) There are some high voltage sections in the machine, which may
cause an electric shock. Use great care when servicing.
4) Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a screwdriver or
other reflecting material in the laser path. Reflected laser beam
can cause injury to your eyes.
5) When servicing with the machine operating, use great care not get
caught by chain, belt, gear, of other driving sections.
6) Do not leave the machine with the cabinet removed. If any other
person than the serviceman would touch the machine, he or she
could be injured by fire or electric shock.
7) Be careful to protect your eyes from toner, developing agent, and
ink. Be careful not to inhale them.
If toner, developing agent, or ink should enter your eyes, wash
them with water and consult a doctor if necessary.
8) There are some sharp edges in the machine. Be careful not to
injure your fingers when servicing.
9) Do not put toner or waste toner or a container with toner or waste
toner from the copier into a fire.
10)When replacing the lithium battery attached to the PWB, be sure
to use the one specified. If the specification of the battery is not
the one spcified, the battery may explode causing a breakdown or
malfunction of the machine.
11)When carrying a part of the unit with a PWB or an electronic part,
be sure to put it in an anti-static-electricity bag. Otherwise a break-
down or malfunction may occur.
C. Note for installation place
The machine performances depend on the environmental conditions
of the installation areas. Avoid installation in the following areas:
1) Avoid high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, low
humidity.
Avoid areas subject to a rapid change in temperature and
humidity.
If installed in such a place, paper may be dampened and conden-
sation may form inside the machine, causing paper jam or dirty
copy. For use and storage of the machine, refer to the specifica-
tions described below.
2) Avoid areas with excessive vibration. It may cause a breakdown
of the machine.
3) Avoid a poorly ventilated area.
This machine uses the static electricity copy process, ozone is
generated in the machine. The quantity of ozone generated is
designed to a harmless level. If, however, the machine is used
continuously in a poorly ventilated place, there may be a smell of
ozone. Therefore install the machine in a well-ventilated area.
4) Avoid area with direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight may deform plastic parts or discolor and spoil
toner, causing dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.
5) Avoid area with ammonium or organic gases.
This machine which uses an organic photoconductor (OPC) drum,
the drum may be damaged by ammonium or organic gases.
Avoid installation near a diazo type copier. It may cause dirty copy
or a breakdown of the machine.
6) Avoid a dusty area.
If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy or a break-
down of the machine.
7) Avoid installation near a wall.
Some machines have an exhaust and intake vent. If the exhaust
or intake is obstructed, it may cause dirty copy or a breakdown of
the machine.
8) Avoid installation on an unstable surface. The machine could drop
or tip over causing an injury or a breakdown of the machine. If the
paper feed desk or an option desk is available, it is advisable to
use it. When using an option desk, be sure to fix the adjusters on
the floor and lock the casters.

specified range, then fix the doctor fixing screw with screw lock.
*When inserting a thickness gauge, be careful not to scratch the
developing doctor and the MG roller.

(2) MG roller main pole position adjustment
1) Remove and separate the waste toner box and put the developing
unit on a flat surface.
2) Tie a string to a needle or a pin.
3) Hold the string and bring the needle close to the MG roller
horizontally. (Do not use paper clip, which is too heavy to make a
correct adjustment.) (Put the developing unit horizontally for this
adjustment.)
4) Do not bring the needle into contact with the MG roller, but bring it
to a position 2 or 3mm apart from the MG roller. Mark the point on
the MG roller which is on the extension line from the needle tip.
5) Measure the distance from the marking position to the top of the
doctor plate of the developing unit to insure that it is 18mm.
If the distance is not within the specified range, loosen the fixing
screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjust-
ment plate in the arrow direction to adjust.

(3) Developing bias voltage adjustment
Note: •Use a digital multi-meter with an internal resistance of
10MΩor more.
1) Set the digital multi-meter range to DC700V.
2) Put the test rod of the digital multi-meter on the developing bias
voltage output check pin.
3) Turn on the power.
4) Adjust the adjustment volume VR31 so that the output voltage is
within the specified range shown below.

Developing bias voltage DC-400±8V VR31
(4) Grid bias voltage adjustment
Note: •Use a digital multi-meter with an internal resistance of
10MΩor more.
1) Set the digital multi-meter range to DC700V.
2) Put the test rod of the digital multi-meter on the grid bias voltage
output check pin.
3) Turn on the power.
4) Adjust the adjustment volumes (VR51, VR52) so that the output
voltage is within the specified range. (The voltage is outputted in
the grid bias high output mode during warming up, and in the grid
bias low output mode after completion of warming up.)

B. Mechanism section
(1) Image lead edge position adjustment (SIM 50-1)
a. OC image lead edge position adjustment
Note: In advance to this adjustment, the sub scanning magnification
ratio adjustment must be performed.
1) Set a scale on the OC table as shown below.
2) Make a copy.
3) Check the copy output. If necessary, perform the following adjust-
ment procedures.
4) Execute SIM 50-1.
5) Set the OC lead edge position set value (Exposure display
<AUTO> ON) to “99.”
The OC image scanning start position is shifted inside the docu-
ment edge.
6) Set the main cassette lead edge void adjustment value (Exposure
display <PHOTO> ON) * to “1.”
The lead edge void becomes the minimum.
7) Set the print start position value (Exposure display <EXP1> ON)
to “99”and make a copy.
The print start position is shifted inside the document edge.
8) Measure the image loss R of the copied image. Enter the set
value of the image scanning lead edge position (Exposure display
<AUTO> ON) again.
•1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.127mm shift.
•Calculate the set value from the formula below.
99 - R/0.127 (mm) = Image loss set value <R: Image loss meas-
urement value (mm)>
Example: 99 - 4/0.127 = 99 - 31.5 = about 67
Note: If the set value is not obtained from the above formula,
perform the fine adjustment.
