CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standard and IEC825. This means that this
machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot
damage to the retina.
The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of servicing.
1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a unit, not as individual parts.
2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner cartridge, and drum cartridge.
3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected when removing and installing the optical
system.
4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.
Warning!
This product is a class A product.
If it is operated in households, offices or similar surroundings, it can produce radio interferences at other
appliances, so that the user has to take adequate countermeasures.

(16) SPF scan position auto adjustment
[Function]
Used to adjust the SPF scan position automatically.
[Operation]
1) With the SPF or the OC cover open, place a chart of black background on the OC glass. (In the SPF standard model, the SPF
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 fluo-
2) Enter SIM53-08, and press [START] button.
<Note>
• After completion of the SPF scan position auto adjustment, the SPF
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 SPF scan, the center area is scanned in the main
scan direction. Be careful to prevent external light from entering the
scan area.
3) Check that the lead edge is not shifted. (Both surfaces)
Place only the black

rescent lamp, etc.
Outline of SIM: The optical unit is shifted to recognize the boundary between the OC glass and the SPF glass cover.
With the same position as the reference, the SPF scan position is
automatically adjusted.
(If the original lead edge adjustment has been made properly, even
when the scan position is shifted, it is followed automatically.)
For the SPF standard-provision
machine, check that the black
chart covers the SPF glass.
