1-4-1 Precautions for assembly and disassembly
(1) Precautions
• Be sure to turn the main switch off and disconnect the power plug before starting disassembly.
• When handling PCBs, do not touch connectors with bare hands or damage the board.
• Do not touch any PCB containing ICs with bare hands or any object prone to static charge.
• Use the following testers when measuring voltages:

1-4-2 Procedure for assembly and disassembly
(1) Adjusting the margin for printing
Perform the following adjustment if the printer leading edge margin for duplex copying (second face) is not correct.
Procedure
Start
Enter maintenance mode.
Enter “402” using the numeric
keys.
Press the start key.
Figure 1-4-1
Select “TRAIL 2” using the
cursor up/down keys.
Press the interrupt key.
Press the start key to
output a test pattern.
Is the margin correct?
Yes
Press the stop/clear key.
Exit maintenance mode.
End
Press the start key.
The new setting is stored.
No
Change the value using the
cursor left/right keys.
Setting range: –5.0 to +10.0
Reference: 4.5
Changing the value by 1 moves the margin by
0.5 mm.
Increasing the value makes the margin wider
and decreasing it makes the margin narrower.

(1) Paper conveying operation in the feedshift section
In duplex mode, when the reverse face of the paper is copied, the feedshift solenoid (FSSOL) turns on and the feedshift
guide of the copier operates to switch the paper path to the feedshift section. When the trailing edge of the paper passes the
paper conveying switch (PCSW), the feedshift motor (FSM) reverses, rotating the right eject roller in the reverse direction to
switch back the paper into the duplex unit.
If the job separator tray is selected for the copy eject location, copied paper is conveyed through the feedshift section to the
job separator tray without being switched back.

2-1-2 Duplex unit
The duplex unit consists of the components shown in Figure 2-1-4. In duplex mode, after copying on to the reverse face of
the paper, the paper is reversed in the feedshift section and conveyed to the duplex unit. The paper is then conveyed to the
copier paper feed section by the upper and lower duplex rollers.
