1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface
A. Warningfor servicing
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
B. Cautions for servicing
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during
prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the
power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the
following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this
condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave
the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before
use.
Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•poorly ventilated
•exposed to direct sunlight
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection and disconnection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet
is properly grounded.
Note : Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

[6]ADJUSTMENTS
1.Adjustment item list
2.Copier adjustment
A.Process section
(1) Developingdoctor gap adjustment
1) Loosen the developing doctor fixing screw A.
2) Insert a thickness gauge of 1.5mm to the three positions at 20mm
and 150mm from the both ends of the developing doctor as shown.
3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten the
developing doctor fixing screw. (Perform the same procedure for the
front and the rear frames.)
4) Check the clearance of the developing doctor. If it is within the
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.
<Adjustment specification>
(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 adjustment
plate in the arrow direction to adjust.

(3)Developingbias voltage check
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, execute SIM25-1.
<Specification>
(4) Grid bias voltage check
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.
(The voltage is outputted in the grid bias High output mode during
warming up, and in the grid bias Low output mode when warming up
is completed.)

B.Mechanism section
Note: If a jam error or paper empty occurs during copying in the
adjustment by the simulation, the image data are not saved, and
therefore recopying is required.
(1) Image position adjustment
a.OC image lead edge position adjustment (SIM 50-1)
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
adjustment procedures.
4) Execute SIM 50-1.
5) Set the OC lead edge position set value (PHOTO indicator ON) to [1]
The OC image scanning start position is shifted inside the document
edge.
6) Set the 1st tray lead edge void adjustment value (TEXT indicator
ON) * to [1]
The lead edge void becomes the minimum.
7) Set the 1st tray print start position value (AUTO, 1st tray indicator
ON) to [1] 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 (PHOTO indicator ON)
again.
•1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.1mm shift.
•Calculate the set value from the formula below.
R/0.1(mm) = Image loss set value
<R: Image loss measurement value (mm)>
Example: 4/0.1 = 40 = about 40
Note:If the set value is not obtained from the above formula, perform the
fine adjustment.
