Decal - Paper Set Direction
The finisher stacking ability depends on the paper load orientation (face-up or face-down).
For some paper brands, face-up produces better stacking and for other brands, face down
is better. The above decal instructs customers on loading paper in order to prevent
unnecessary service calls. Therefore, please use this decal for operator training.

SYMPTOM
The end fence may detach due to vibration during transport.
CAUSE
The diameter of the holes in the paper guide fence for inserting the end fence was slightly
too large (i.e. Knob Screw with Rubber Tube). This is a side effect from the previous
modification (MB No.004).
SOLUTION
Final countermeasure on the production line
The diameter of the holes in the paper guide fence for inserting the end fence has been
decreased from 5.5 mm to 4.5 mm. Please refer to MB No. 006.
Temporary countermeasure on the production line
1.5 mm
Rubber ring
An extra rubber ring (1.5 mm) has been attached to the end fence to prevent it from
dropping. This rubber ring is made by cutting the Rubber Tube (B3032788) in the
production line to a thickness of 1.5 mm.

Note: When the new paper guide fence (B3032789: MB No.006) is installed in machines
with the extra rubber ring, it is not necessary to remove the rubber ring from the end fence.
Note:
We have applied the temporary solution at the factory from the same cut-in serial numbers
listed in MB No.004, except for the machines listed below. These units have already been
shipped and do not contain the countermeasures. However we estimate the occurrence
rate to be very low. Please reattach the end fence if it has come off during transport.

1. Using the mainframe paper trays, make more than 10 copies of a given paper brand
2. Compare the curl of the two bunches of paper by placing them on a flat surface.
3. If the face-down bunch shows less curling, write in the brand name on the face-down
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for all the brands of paper normally used by the customer.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 for LCT paper feed.
6. Attach the two decals [A] to the copier paper feed tray and LCT as shown.
Note: Two decals can be attached to each copier feed tray. However, there is only room
for one decal on the LCT. Therefore, attach the LCT decal with more brand names onto
the LCT itself. Attach the other to one of the areas labeled [B] below, whichever the
customer prefers.

label (and vice-versa).
Note: With the LCT, the paper is not inverted as it is when fed from the copier trays.
Therefore, the same brand of paper should yield opposite results. Please confirm this
when testing with the LCT and write in the brand name on the appropriate label.
