At the production line, the output power of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.33 MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is maintained constant by the operation of the Automatic Power Control (APC). Even if the APC circuit fails in operation for some reason, the maximum output power will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1 MICRO­SEC. giving an acceptable emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.
Caution
The fusing unit is hot. Exercise care when inspecting it.
Do not switch the printer rapidly on and off. After turning the printer off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
Printer power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

(5) Selection between the ON LINE mode
and the OFF LINE mode (AL-840 only)
In the ON LINE mode, the ON LINE lamp lights up to show that the machine is ready for receiving print data from the host. During copying, the machine is in the OFF line mode and the ON LINE lamp goes off. During printing, when copy interruption is made, printing is interrupted and the ON LINE lamp blinks. When a certain time passes after completion of copying, the machine go back to the ON LINE mode and printing is resumed. In any case, copying takes priority over printing. The timing to going back to the ON LINE mode after completion of copying can be set by the user program. When the clear key is pressed twice, the machine goes into the ON LINE mode immediately.
(6) Paper width detection and machine
operation (AL-800/840)
This machine is designed to detect only the following two sizes: Max. paper size and Min. paper size shown in the table below. Imaging (main scanning direction void area and image length) is per­formed according to the paper size the machine detects, Therefore, if the SIM 26-6 set value is not matched with the paper specification, the image position on the paper is shifted to cause a trouble.

Copy magnification ratio adjustment (AL-800L)
The copy magnification ratio must be adjusted in the main scanning direction and in the sub scanning direction. To adjust, use SIM 48-1.
(1) Outline
The main scanning (front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment is made automatically or manually.
Automatic adjustment: The width of the reference line marked on the shading correction plate is scanned to perform the main scanning (front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment automatically.
Manual adjustment: The adjustment is made by manual key opera­tions. (In either of the automatic and manual adjustments, the zoom data register set value is changed for adjustment.)
The magnification ratio in the sub scanning direction is adjusted by changing the carriage (scanner) scanning speed.
(2) Main scanning direction magnification ratio

1) Set a scale to the center of the paper lead edge guide as shown below, and cover it with B4 or 8 1/2" x 14" paper.
2) Execute SIM 50 - 01
3) Set the print start position (AE lamp ON) (A), the lead edge void amount (TEXT lamp ON) (B), and the scan start position (PHOTO lamp ON) (C) to 0, and make a copy of a scale at 100%.
4) Measure the image loss amount (R mm) of the scale image. Set C = 10 X R (mm). (Example: Set the value of C to 30.) When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
5) Measure the distance (H mm) between the paper lead edge and the image print start position. Set A = 10 X H (mm). (Example: Set the value of A to 50.) When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is shifted to the paper lead edge by 1mm. (Default: 50)
6) Set the lead edge void amount to B = 50. When the value of B is increased by 10, the void amount is increased by about 1mm. For 25 or less, however, the void amount becomes zero. (Default: 50)

48 01 Magnification ratio adjustment and black level adjustment in the front/rear (main scanning) direction and in the scan (sub scanning)
direction (1) Front/rear direction magnification ratio auto correction: The width of the reference line marked on the shading correction plate is
scanned to perform the front/rear (main scanning) direction magnification ratio automatically. In addition to the automatic magnification ratio adjustment, the OC/document center offset value and the image scan start position are also set automatically. Moreover, the black level auto correction is performed simultaneously. Since there are other simulation codes which can be set manually, the OC/document center offset value and the image scan start position which are set automatically in this simulation can be checked with the corresponding code.
OC/document center offset SIM50-10 Center offset adjustment Image scan start position SIM50-01 Lead edge image position
(2) Front/rear direction magnification ratio manual correction: The front/rear (main scanning) magnification ratio is adjusted by key
input. (The adjustment is made by changing the set value of the ZOOM DATA register for AISC.)
(3) Scanning direction magnification ratio correction: The scanning direction magnification ratio in the OC mode is adjusted by key
input. (This adjustment is made by changing the scanning speed.) (Operating procedure) When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed in two digits (Center value: 50). Press the copy mode select key to switch the setup mode and the setup display.
In the case of the front/rear direction magnification ratio and black level automatic adjustment:
To perform the automatic adjustment, put a gray gradation chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) facedown at the left center of the platen so that the side of density 10 (black side) comes on the left side of the OC section. The black level adjustment is the same as SIM63-02 operation.

Default of all items: 50
In the front/rear direction magnification ratio auto correction:
(1) When the calculation result of the scanning correction value is ±5% or more, "- -" is displayed.
(Cause) Improper position of the reference line on the white plate, improper installation of the lens unit, etc.
(2) In case of scanning error of the reference line, the jam lamp lights up.
(Cause) CCD error, no white plate, etc.
If the automatic correction of the magnification ratio is not effective, use the manual correction.

Operation/ Procedure
Used to adjust the copy density. (The print density in each mode and the overall print density (overall setting of the specified density gradient) can be adjusted.
By adjusting the exposure level of the center density, the other copy density levels (density levels 1, 2, 4, 5) can be automatically calculated and adjusted. The gamma curve (gradient) is fixed and cannot be changed. By changing the adjustment value, however, the gamma curve is shifted (with the fixed gradient). Therefore, the overall copy density is changed. The above adjustment is made for each copy mode. Each copy mode and each copy density level (5 steps) have their own gamma curve (gradient). The adjustment value can be set in the range of 0 ~ 99.
1) Select the picture quality mode with the copy picture quality mode select key. (The currently set copy density adjustment level is displayed on the copy quantity display.)
2) To change the copy density, change the adjustment value and press the start button. (The adjustment value is stored and a copy is made.) To decrease the copy density, decrease the adjustment value, and vice versa.
