1. Note for servicing

Pictogram
The label (	) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the

following:

: Caution, risk of danger : Caution, hot surface

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

•poorly ventilated

•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.

2.Copier adjustment

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.

Developing doctor gap

Both ends (20mm from the both ends) : 1.5 +0.1- 0.15 mm

C (Center) (150mm from the both ends) :1.55 +0.15- 0.2 mm

(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.

AR-5520 ADJUSTMENT 6-1

(3)Developing bias voltage check

Note:Use a digital multi-meter with an internal resistance of 10MΩ or more.

1)Set the digital multi-meter range to DC700V.

2)Put the test rod of the digital multi-meter on the developing bias voltage output check pin.

3)Turn on the power, execute SIM25-1.

Mode	Specification

Developing bias voltage	DC - 400±10V

(4) Grid bias voltage check

Note:Use a digital multi-meter with an internal resistance of 10MΩ or more.

1)Set the digital multi-meter range to DC700V.

2)Put the test rod of the digital multi-meter on the grid bias voltage output check pin.

3)Turn on the power.

(The voltage is outputted in the grid bias High output mode during warming up, and in the grid bias Low output mode when warming up is completed.)

B.Mechanism section

Note: If a jam error or paper empty occurs during copying in the adjustment by the simulation, the image data are not saved, and therefore recopying is required.

(1) Image position adjustment

a.OC image lead edge position adjustment (SIM 50-1)

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.

5mm

4mm

*The dimension varies depending on the model.

8)Measure the image loss R of the copied image. Enter the set value of the image scanning lead edge position (PHOTO indicator ON) again.

•1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.1mm shift. •Calculate the set value from the formula below. R/0.1(mm) = Image loss set value

<R: Image loss measurement value (mm)>

5mm

0mm

*The scanning edge is set.

(A line may be printed by scanning the document edge.)

Mode	Specification

Grid bias LOW	DC - 380±8V

Grid bias HIGH	DC - 525±10V

Example: 4/0.1 = 40 = about 40

Note:If the set value is not obtained from the above formula, perform the fine adjustment.

AR-5520 ADJUSTMENT 6-2

9)Measure the distance H between the paper lead edge and the image print start position. Set the image print start position set value

(AUTO, 1st tray indicator ON) again.

•1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.1mm shift. •Calculate the set value from the formula below. H/0.1(mm) = Image print start position set value

<H: Print start position measurement value (mm)>

0mm

*Fit the print edge with the paper edge, and perform the lead edge adjustment.

Example: 5/0.1 = 50 = about 50
