ADJUSTMENT

HOW TO USE THIS SECTION

This section details adjusting items and procedures. Use this section for making adjustments and as a checklist before implementing corrective measures in the field. 1. Does the power supply meet the requirements? 2. Is the power supply properly grounded? 3. Is the machine sharing its power source with another high current consumption machine that draws large currents intermittently? (for example, an elevator, air conditioner, or other source of electrical consumption) 4. Is the installation environment suitable? a. Keep out of High humidity, direct sunlight, bad ventilation, etc.. b. Make sure that the floor where the machine is installed is level. 5. Does the cause of a defective image lie in the original itself? 6. Is the density adjusting control at the proper position? 7. Are the original glass and original cover clean? 8. Is the correct paper being used for the copy? 9. Are the copying materials and parts replaced when they reach the end of their usable life? (developer, drum, cleaning blade, etc.) 10. Is there toner in the machine? The following items should also be observed when repairing the machine. 1. Both AC power lines are disconnected when the main switch of this machine is turned off. However, the optional PTC heater remains ON and keeps high temperature since the interlock switch is turned ON. So, always unplug the machine before beginning work. If absolutely necessary to work with the power on, exercise care not to get caught in gears or scanning operation of exposure unit. 2. Take special care when handling the fixing unit since it operates at extremely high temperatures. 3. The developing unit is surrounded by a strong magnetic field. Keep watches and metering equipment away from it. 4. Avoid scarring the drum with tools or similar objects. 5. Do not touch IC pins with your bare hands.

ADJUSTMENTS WHEN REPLACING PARTS

New means replace with a new unit. Re-set means re-installation. If there is a priority sequence to adjustment, it is indicated as a number inside the circle. When replacing the memory IC, carry out the necessary settings in the 25 mode. In addition, replace developer and adjust L detection. [Copy counter (developer fatigue correction, drum fatigue correction) data are cleared by L detection adjustment.] *1: Excluding the memory IC *2: Before performing HP to Original Lead Edge Distance Adjustment, set the lead edge erasure width adjustment data (at 100% and 50%) to zero. *3: Refer to the specified page of 2223 SHB about the adjustment and the setting of each item.

ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE P BUTTON

Adjustments that can be made with the P button include setting and checking various parameters, and are therefore referred to as "P functions". P functions may be broadly divided into those available to the end-user and those exclusively for the service technician. In this section, the functions available to service technician are explained.
