1. Note for servicing

Pictogram

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.

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.

2) Open the original cover and make a normal (100%) copy.

3) Measure the width of the black background at the lead edge and at the rear edge.

Paper exit direction

La: Lead edge black background width Lb: Rear edge black background width

If the width (La) of the black background at the lead edge is equal that (Lb) at the rear edge, there is no need to execute the following procedures of 4) ~ 7).

La = Lb

6) Execute the main scanning direction (FR) distartion balance adjustment previously described in 2) again.

(4) Sub scanning direction (scanning direction) distortion

adjustment

When there is no skew copy in the mirror base scanning direction and there is no horizontal error (right angle to the scanning direction), the adjustment can be made by adjusting the No. 2/3 mirror base unit rail height. Before performing this adjustment, be sure to perform the horizontal image distortion adjustment in the laser scanner section. This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:

•When the mirror base wire is replaced.

•When the copy lamp unit or No. 2/3 mirror unit is replaced.

•When the mirror unit rail is replaced or moved.

•When a following copy is made.

When La < Lb Shift the mirror base B rail downward by the half of the difference of Lb - La. Example: When La = 12mm and Lb = 9mm, shift the mirror

base B rail upward by 1.5mm.

When Lc > Ld Shift the mirror base B rail downward by the half of the difference of Lc - Ld.

When Lc < Ld Shift the mirror base B rail downward by the half of the difference of Ld - Lc.

When moving the mirror base rail, hold the mirror base rail with your hand.

La = Lb, Lc = Ld

5) After completion of adjustment, manually turn the mirror base drive pulley, scan the mirror base A and mirror base B fully, and check that the mirror bases are not in contact with each other.

* If the mirror base rail is moved extremely, the mirror base may be in

contact with the frame or the original glass. Be careful to avoid this.
