This section provides detailed information about the
adjustment items and procedures. Before addressing
customer complaints, perform the following checks:
1. Check whether the power supply voltage meets
the specifications.
2. Check whether the power supply is properly
grounded.
3. Check whether this machine shares the power
supply with any other machine that draws large
current intermittently (e.g., elevator and air conditioner that produce electrical noise).
4. Check whether the installation environment is
good.
a. The machine must be installed in a properly ven-
tilated area not exposed to high temperature,
high humidity, and direct sunlight.
b. The machine must be installed on the horizontal
floor.
5. Check whether original has a problem to cause
the defective image.
6. Check whether the selected density value is correct.
7. Check whether the surface of the platen glass
and the slit glass are clean.
8. Check whether correct paper is used for copying.
9. Check whether copying materials and parts
(e.g., developer, drum, and cleaning blade) are
replenished and replaced when they reach the
end of the useful life.
10. Check whether toner remains.
When servicing the machine, observe the following
precautions:
1. Only either side of the AC line is shut off when the
SW1 (main) of this machine is turned off. Always
unplug the power cord before starting the service
work. If it is necessary to service the machine
with the power on, take care not to be caught in
the scanning gear of the exposure unit.
2. Special care should be taken when handling the
fixing unit because it operates at extremely high
temperatures.
3. The developing unit has a strong magnetic field.
Keep watches and measuring equipment away
from it.
4. Take care not to damage the drum with tools and
so on.
5. Do not touch IC pins with bare hands.
WHEN REPLACING
PARTS
Adjustments (including checks) and settings are not
only required when a customer complaint about the
copy image quality is received, but also after replacing
or reassembling parts.

Caution: Replacing the image control board
• When a damaged image control board is replaced, the memory board on this board must be used on
the new image control board.
Only when the memory board is damaged, use a new memory board. Since the new memory board
does not have adjustment data, the above adjustments are required. Before making the above adjustments, make the “47-92(output)” setting to make the new memory board effective.
• After making any adjustment, make the “47mode-96(output) setting”. After made the “47mode-96(output)” setting, the adjustment data is saved.
• However, the “47mode -92” and -96" settings are protected to prevent them from careless operation.
In order to make “47mode -92” and -96" settings using the saved adjustment data, the protection must
be disabled. For the unprotection method, contact the service section of the authorized distributor.

This bit is used to keep the cleaning blade off the drum to protect the drum and cleaning blade during transportation
of the main body.
To keep the blade off the drum, set this DIP switch to 1, open the front door to turn OFF the interlock, and start
up the 47 mode. The blade switching operation is performed at this time. If blade 1 is used, do not forget blade
charge and 36 mode blade set mode at reinstallation. This DIPSW will be reset to 0 automatically.

*7 Regular toner supply amount
When copying the original which black ratio is low
(less than 1 %), gray background image is
caused because the toner density of developer
increases. In this case, changing this bit to 1,
decreases the amount of toner supplied regularly, thus preventing gray background image.
Note: When copying the original which black
ratio is normal, changing this bit to 1
causes the image to be lighter.

This paper has only little difference in paper quality between the front and the back side, and has
much strength.
(2) Paper for printing books
This paper has lower paper density than highquality paper. Cream color is often used as a suitable color for books.

This paper is high and standard-quality paper, to
one side of which 10 grams/m
