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.

NOTE
When the life is reached during copying or
printing, the job is completed and then the
machine is stopped.
The machine operation is not stopped. (However,
the print density is lowered.)
(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.
The copy conditions can be set after turning on the power or during
resume operation from the energy save mode. Pressing the start key
allows copy reservation. After making a copy reservation, when the
copier warmup is completed, copy is started.
Once a copy reservation is made, the copy conditions cannot be
canceled unless the clear key is pressed.
(8) AE level adjustment procedure
Select the PHOTO mode with the copy mode select key, press and
hold the key for 5 sec, and the mode display will change from PHOTO
to AUTO blinking and the currently adjusted level will be displayed on
the exposure level display.
Under this state, operate the density adjustment key to adjust the
auto density level. When the auto density level is adjusted, the manual and the photo density levels are also shifted accordingly.
When the copy mode select key is pressed after adjustment, the
mode display changes from blinking to lighting. Then the density level
setting is completed.

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

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)

4801Magnification 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.)

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.
