Cause
Since a mixture of the toner and paper dust accumulates on the tip of the hot roller
stripper, a gap develops between the stripper and hot roller surface. Under this condition,
the copied paper is not separated by the hot roller stripper, leading to jams in the fusing
unit (the paper gets caught on the tip of the hot roller stripper).
Contents of Change
To reduce the amount of toner and paper dust attracted to the hot roller stripper, the
material of the stripper will be changed from PPS to PEK.
To increase the contact pressure between hot roller and stripper, the tension of the hot
roller stripper spring will be changed from 150 mN to 300 mN.

Cause:
Jams in the fusing unit area (C-jams) are cleared by opening and closing either the front or
right door, even when the jammed paper has not been removed. This in turn causes jams
to reoccur when the next print job is done.
Countermeasure
The following will prevent C-jams from being cleared by opening and closing the front
door:
1. The front door push switch, switch bracket, and tapping screw have been deleted.
This switch was then added to the right door switch assembly, making a total of 4.
2. The length of the fastening screw for the right door microswitch has been increased.
3. The length of the front-upper DC harness has been increased and the harness has
been rerouted to the right door microswitch assembly.

Symptom
The connection between the toner supply unit and toner bottle is loose, which causes the unit to
separate from the bottle when the unit is pulled out. Toner then spills out onto the toner supply unit
and sometimes onto the front cover as well.
Countermeasure
A seal has been added to the inside of the toner supply unit to minimize the freedom of movement
of the toner bottle. This will tighten the hold of the toner supply unit on the bottle, preventing any
separation of the bottle from the unit.

Symptom
SC322/326 is generated at installation.
Cause
Most likely, the lasers in some machines tested at the factory had passed through the
lower end of the Laser Synch. Detector, very close to the edge. Then, during transport,
the LD unit housing was slightly deformed or shifted due to some form of shock or shaking.
As a result, the position of the laser was shifted outside the detection range.
Countermeasure
1. The detection width of the Laser Synch. Detector has been increased from 2.3 to 3.0
mm.

However, the factory will not supply this unit without the developer.
• The Development Unit for the NAD (A2327460) can also be used with the Adonis-P if
the three components listed below are installed.
NOTE:
When installing these three components in the A2327460 unit, you can either use the
components from the original development unit (G0353050) or newly purchased
components.

Symptom:
Bands of low image density appear at approximately 5mm intervals.
This is especially noticeable with half-tone areas.
Cause:
The supporting tension supplied by the ribs of the idler gear was slightly high, causing the
gear diameter to become slightly warped.
Countermeasure:
To ensure that the idler gear diameter is uniform, the gear ribs will be removed.
