CHAPTER 1 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

B. Periodically Replaced Parts

Some parts of the machine must be replaced on a periodical basis to maintain the performance of the machine at a specific level regardless of the presence/absence of damage (when they fail, they will affect the performance to a significant degree).

Schedule the replacement so that it coincide with a scheduled service visit.

D.Image Adjustment Basic Procedure

■ Non-AE, Copy Density at 5

Is there a

difference in density

between front

and rear?

Is it low (light)

at the rear?

Turn the adjusting screw at the rear of the primary charging assembly clockwise, and turn the adjusting screw at the front counterclockwise the same degree (1.5 mm max. each).

Make two to three copies of the Test Sheet.

Check the height of the charging wire.

Turn the adjusting screw at the rear of the primary charging assembly counterclockwise, and turn the adjusting screw at the front clockwise the same degree (1.5 mm max. each).

Turn off and then on the machine, and make a copy.

Note 1:

Note 2:

Check the copy paper and the transfer system.

Is the density

of gray scale No. 1

too low (light)?

Clean the standard white plate, mirror, lens, dustroofing glass, scanning lamp, reflecting plate, and heat absorbing glass.

Turn off and then on the machine, and make a copy.

Is 'VDM' 'VDT'

±10 V?

Is 'PLMT' '1'?

Is 'VL1M' 'VL1T'

±10 V?

Is 'VL1M" 'VL1T'

±10V?

Check the potential control system; if normal, replace the photosensitive drum.

Check the scanning lamp and the potential control system; if normal, replace the photosensitive drum.

Increase the value of 'VDT-SW'.

Turn off and on the machine, and make a copy.

Increase the value of 'LIGHT_5'.

Decrease the value of 'LIGHT_5'.

Is the density

of gray scale No. 10

proper?

Is the density

of gray scale No. 10

too high (dark)?

Execute AE adjustment. (See p. 11-9.)

<Pre-Checks>

Solid black

YES

*1*

*3*

*5*

Clean the charging wire.

Make a copy.

If the difference still exists after turning the screw

1.5 mm (each; a full turn causes a 0.7mm difference), check the charging assemblies,

scanning lamp, and scanner for dirt. When turning the screw counterclockwise, take care so that the wire is not 7.5mm or less in height.

7. Adjusting the AE Slope

After executing AE auto adjustment, make a copy of a newspaper (or a rather dark

original). If the copy is foggy or too light, perform the following:

1) Open the front door, and insert the door switch actuator into the door switch assembly.

2) Press the service mode switch over the cover with a clip.

3) Select ‘AE_SLOP’ in service mode ( ).

✽

4) Place a newspaper (or a relatively dark original) on the copyboard.

5) Change the setting using the numeric keypad, and press the user mode key (

✽).

q If you decrease the setting in adjustment mode,

→Copies of a newspaper will be lighter.

w If you increase the setting in adjustment mode,

→Copies of a newspaper will be darker.

Note:

You may press the Copy Start key to make copies.

6) Press the Reset key twice to end service mode.

8. Adjusting the Distance between the Side Guide Plates of the Holding Tra y Assembly

If a sheet of paper of a width different from the specified dimension (because of poor cutting) is used and tends to cause a fault during re-pick up , check the distance between the side guide plates of the holding tray assembly.

1) After copying on the first side of a two-sided copy, slide out the holding tray, butt the

copy paper on the holding tra y against the side guide plate at the rear, and check that

the copy paper is 1.2 to 2.0 mm away (L) from the side guide plate at the front.

2) If the distance (L) is not between 1.2 and 2.0 mm, select 'paper size_PSZ' in service

mode (*3*), and change the setting so that the distance is 1.2 to 2.0 mm.

3) A higher setting will increase the distance between the side guide plates in 0.367 mm

increments.

Caution:

a. Each setting is effective only for the respective size. Adjust for the size suffering

from re-pick up fault only.

a. If no re-pick up fault is noted, it is best to leave the setting as it is. An increase in

the distance between copy paper and the front side guide plate will cause variation in registration for 2nd sides, while a decrease in the distance will affect the alignment of the stack of sheets.

1) Loosen the two mounting screws used to fix the left/right shielding plate in place.

2) Loosen the three mounting screws used to fix the motor unit in place at the front.

Figure 2-18

3) Loosen the mounting screw, and move the assembly in the direction indicated in Figure 2-19; then, fix it in place temporarily.

Figure 2-19

4) Free a length of charging wire (about 5 cm) from the charging wire reel (0.1mm dia.); then, form a loop at its end (2mm dia.)

Reference:

To form a loop, wind the charging wire around a hex key three to four times, and twist the charging wire.

5) Cut the twisted charging wire (excess) with a nipper.

7) After routing the wire for 31 runs, lead it through section B, give it a 1/2 turn, lead it between washer and motor unit, wind it once around the mounting screw clockwise, and fix it in place with the mounting screw.

8) Cut the excess charging wire with a nipper.

9) Tighten the mounting screw loosened in step 8). Take care to avoid deformation (slack) of the charging assembly. Try to tighten the mounting screw (front) on the shielding plate (left, right) earlier.
