∗ To p m ar gi n

The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made according to the set value.

∗ Left margin

Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted. Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed. If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.

(7) Print reference

This machine employs the center reference system. Since the digital copier is not provided with the tray size detection feature, formatting and center distribution are performed not by the actual paper size but by the paper size specified by the computer.

2) Tie a needle or pin on a string.

3) Hold the string and bring the needle close to the MG roller horizontally. (Do not use paper clip, which is too heavy to make a correct adjustment.) (Put the developing unit horizontally for this adjustment.)

4) Do not bring the needle into contact with the MG roller, but bring it to a position 2 or 3mm apart from the MG roller. Mark the point on the MG roller which is on the extension line from the needle tip.

5) Measure the distance from the marking position to the top of the doctor plate of the developing unit to insure that it is 18mm.

If the distance is not within the specified range, loosen the fixing screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjustment plate in the arrow direction to adjust.

(15) RSPF scan position auto adjustment

[Function]

Used to adjust the RSPF scan position automatically.

[Operation]

1) With the RSPF or the OC cover open, place a chart of black background on the OC glass. (In the RSPF standard model, the RSPF glass surface is included.)

∗ Use a black chart (UKOG-0011QSZZ) or prepare a chart as shown

below. Chart size: 310 x 470, prepared with cutting sheet No. 791 (Black) or an equivalent one.

Reason: To prevent erroneous detection by disturbing light of a

2) Enter SIM53-08, and press [START] button.

<Note>

• After completion of the RSPF scan position auto adjustment, the

RSPF lead edge adjustment must be executed. (Both surfaces)

• There must be no other sheet than the black chart on the glass sur-

face.

• Especially when in RSPF scan, the center area is scanned in the

main scan direction. Be careful to prevent external light from entering the scan area.

fluorescent lamp, etc.

Outline of SIM: The optical unit is shifted to recognize the boundary between the OC glass and the RSPF glass cover. With the same position as the reference, the RSPF scan position is automatically adjusted.

3) Check that the lead edge is not shifted. (Both surfaces) (If the original lead edge adjustment has been made properly, even when the scan position is shifted, it is followed automatically.)

Place only the black chart on the OC glass.

For the RSPF standard-provision machine, check that the black chart covers the SPF glass.

Placing the black chart The black chart must cover this area.

4) Change the adjustment value of the RSPF scan end position. (Change the adjustment value of SIM50-6-3 from 50 to 36.)

Change the number of steps for Pin off – scan end position from 1,014 to 986. Be sure to execute this adjustment because an image may be cut off during FAX transmission though copying is normally performed.

5) Change the initial value of the RSPF exposure adjustment (SIM46-

20) from 50 to 53. (For the CCD exposure adjustment with RSPF, use the value of the OC adjustment value +3.) There are suffixes of –1 SPF and –2 RSPF. Change each of them.

C. Image density (exposure) adjustment

2) Place three or more sheets of A3 (11" x 17") paper on the test chart.

3) Execute SIM 46-2.

4) After warm-up, shading is performed and the current set value of the density (exposure) level is displayed on the display section in 2 digits.

For mode selection, use the [10-key].

5) Change the set value with the [10-key] to adjust the copy image density.

2. Enter the set value with the 10-key.

To support an individual necessity in paper and the environment, it is variable in the range of 5 to 30uA in the increment of 1uA in each mode.

When changing +V2, check with +V1 unchanged. If there is any trouble in the half tone image of graphics, keep the relationship between +V1 and +V2 at the default and change it.

When the image quality is deteriorated because the user selects the OHP mode and use other than the recommended OHP, decrease the transfer current to adjust deterioration of black background picture quality. If some of characters are not printed, increase the transfer current.

This setting is changed in linkage with SIM 26-6 destination setting.
