The label () in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface
•poorly ventilated
A. Warning for servicing
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
B. Cautions for servicing
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during
prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the
power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the
following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this
condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave
the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before
use.
Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•exposed to direct sunlight
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection and disconnection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet
is properly grounded.
Note : Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

A.Process section
(1) Developing doctor gap adjustment
1) Loosen the developing doctor fixing screw A.
2) Insert a thickness gauge of 1.5mm to the three positions at 20mm
and 150mm from the both ends of the developing doctor as shown.

3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten the
developing doctor fixing screw. (Perform the same procedure for the
front and the rear frames.)
4) Check the clearance of the developing doctor. If it is within the
specified range, then fix the doctor fixing screw with screw lock.
*When inserting a thickness gauge, be careful not to scratch the
developing doctor and the MG roller.
(2) MG roller main pole position adjustment
1) Remove and separate the waste toner box and put the developing
unit on a flat surface.
2) Tie a string to a needle or a pin.
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.

Note:In advance to this adjustment, the sub scanning magnification ratio
adjustment must be performed.
1) Set a scale on the OC table as shown below.
2) Make a copy.
3) Check the copy output. If necessary, perform the following
adjustment procedures.
4) Execute SIM 50-1.
5) Set the OC lead edge position set value (PHOTO indicator ON) to [1]
The OC image scanning start position is shifted inside the document
edge.
6) Set the 1st tray lead edge void adjustment value (TEXT indicator
ON) * to [1]
The lead edge void becomes the minimum.
7) Set the 1st tray print start position value (AUTO, 1st tray indicator
ON) to [1] and make a copy.
The print start position is shifted inside the document edge.

the developing bias, the main charger, and the grid are outputted. Since, in that case, laser discharge
is required when the motor stops, the polygon motor is driven simultaneously. Check if the
developing unit is installed or not. If it is not installed, the above high voltage is not outputted and only
the motor is rotated. After completion of 30 sec operation, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.

[Adjustment procedure]
(1) Set the print start position (A) (AUTO exposure ON), the lead edge void amount (B) (TEXT ON),
and the scan start position (C) (PHOTO ON) to <1>, and make a 100% copy.
(2) Measure the image loss (R mm) of the scale. Set as C=10 x R (mm). (Example: Set to 40.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
(3) Measure the distance between the paper lead edge and the image print start position.
Set as A=10 x H (mm). (Example: Set to 50.)
When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is shifted toward the paper lead
edge by 1mm. (Default: 50)
(4) Set the lead edge void area as B=50 (2.5mm). (Default: 50)
When the value of B is increased by 10, the void is increased by about 1mm.

Printing of the front surface in the S-D mode and printing of the even pages in the D-S mode are
performed as reverse memory copying from the rear edge of the document.
When, therefore, the printing position adjustment of output image is required, perform the adjustment
as follows:
The image direction in reverse memory copying is shown in the figure below. That is, when the
document scan direction is as shown with the arrow, the output image is printed from the rear edge
of scanning. If, therefore, the print edge section is shifted, set the reference chart with the reference
position at the rear edge and use this simulation to change the set value in order to adjust the print
lead edge position.
Since printing is started at the print start position and performed from the last, saved data in the
memory to the head data, the lead edge position of an image is adjusted by changing the last data
position saved in the memory.

When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed.
When the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key is pressed, the following set items are changed sequentially.
Enter an adjustment value with the Numeric keys and press the [START] key, and the entered value
will be saved and a copy will be made. (Adjustment range: 1 ~ 99, Default: 50)
When the [CA] key is pressed, the entered value is saved and the simulation is terminated.
Supported for the installed models only. Skipped for the models without installation.
Place the white chart so that it covers both the SPF scan glass and the OC glass. Close the OC
cover. When this simulation is executed, the current adjustment value is displayed as the initial
display. When the [START] key is pressed, the mirror unit scans from the home position to the SPF
scan position with the current adjustment value displayed, and the SPF glass cover edge is
calculated from the difference between the SPF glass cover edge and the OC side document glass
CCD output level.
*The default is 50, the adjustment range is 1 ~ 99, and the adjustment unit 1= about 0.127mm.
If the adjustment is completed normally, the adjusted value is displayed. If not, the Misfeed indicator
lights up with the current set value displayed. When the [START] key is pressed again with the
Misfeed indicator ON, the execution is repeated again. When the [Interrupt] key or the [CA] key is
pressed during execution, "- -" is displayed and the operation is canceled. The mirror returns to its
home position and the simulation mode is terminated. In the case when the [Interrupt] key is
pressed, the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. In the case when the [CA] key is
pressed, all the lamps are turned off.

Every time when HSYNC is detected, the ZOOM indicator is lighted for 100msec.
(Operating procedure)
When the [START] key is pressed in the sub code input standby mode, the mirror base unit moves to
the white plate for shading and the copy lamp is lighted. Until the light quantity of the copy lamp is
stabilized, the sub code of "01" is displayed on the 7-seg display. When the light quantity of the copy
lamp is stabilized, it is revised every second, and the level of one pixel at the CCD center where no
correction is made is detected for 10 sec, and the detected level is displayed in hexadecimal on the
7-seg display. After completion of 10 sec detection, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.
The SPF white correction start pixel position is automatically adjusted.
This is performed after replacement of the lens. Open the SPF unit and press the [START] key, and
the position (which pixel) of the white sheet for SPF exposure correction in the SPF position is
displayed on the 7-seg display.
If the value is 93 ~ 229, it is displayed on the 7-seg display and is written into the EEPROM.
If the value is 0 ~ 92 or 230 ~ 999, it is displayed on the 7-seg display but is not written into the
EEPROM.
If the value is 1000 or above, "-------" is displayed on the 7-seg display and is not written into the
EEPROM.
The pixel position -34 written into the EEPROM is considered as the SPF white correction start pixel
of the machine.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
