A new model "Tequila (A289)" designed for the Latin American market will be launched in September 98. Tequila is a slightly modified version of the already existing model "Grand Kingfisher (Ricoh FT4018/Gestetner 2718z)", especially designed to meet the needs for the Latin America market.

There will be two destination codes depending on the input voltage: -14 is for 120V areas, and -24 is for 220V areas. Inch units are the default units for both destination codes.

This RTB clarifies the differences between the base copier and Tequila (based on the style of the service manual). Also note that the following information is based on the Grand Kingfisher 120V (inch size) machines.

SYMPTOM

1. Toner drops onto the copy.

2. Dirty background on copies (Occasional)

3. Image density too high (Occasional)

CAUSE

1. Too much toner is supplied to the development tank due to misdetection by the toner

density sensor.

2. Used toner accumulates in the IU (Imaging Unit), preventing proper recycling.

ACTION REQUIRED

Please follow the procedure as shown below.

1. Remove the IU from the machine.

2. Completely remove the recycled toner in the toner collection coil and the toner recycling

belt area.

3. Install the IU in the machine.

4. Remove the toner bottle from the machine.

5. Make 20, A4 sideways, skyshot copies (solid black copies).

6. Set an original and make some copies to confirm that copy quality is normal.

7. Change the toner supply mode from “0” to “1” using SP30.

8. Make some copies while monitoring the TD sensor output (SP55).

9. Input the value obtained in step 8 in SP53 – TD Sensor Target Control Voltage

Adjustment.

10. Install the toner bottle in the machine.

11. Set an original and make some copies to confirm that copy quality is normal.

Note: When the developer is replaced, please observe the following for efficient troubleshooting:

1) Do SP66.

2) Do not change the settings of SP30 and SP53. (SP30 must be at “1”. TD

Sensor control voltage must be kept at the same level in SP53, as entered in step 9 above.)
