If toner, developer, or ink enters you eyes, wash it away with water immediately, and consult a doctor if necessary.

8) The machine has got sharp edges inside. Be careful not to damage fingers when servicing.

9) Do not throw toner or a toner cartridge in a fire. Otherwise, toner may explode and burn you.

10) When replacing the lithium battery on the PWB, use only the specified battery.

If a battery of different specification is used, the battery may cause malfunction or breakdown of the machine.

11) When transporting a PWB, be sure to place the PWB in an anti-static bag.

It may cause a breakdown or malfunctions.

2. Warning for servicing

1) Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that

meets the specified voltage and current requirements.

Avoid complex wiring, which may lead to a fire or an electric shock.

2) If there is any abnormality such as a smoke or an abnormal

smell, interrupt the job and disconnect the power plug.

It may cause a fire or an electric shock.

3) Be sure to connect the grounding wire. If an electric leakage

occurs without grounding, a fire or an electric shock may result.

For proper machine functionality, the machine must be grounded.

4) When connecting the grounding wire, never connect it to the fol-

lowing points.

It may cause an explosion, a fire or an electric shock.

- Gas tube

- Lightning conductor

- A water pipe or a water faucet, which is not recognized as a

grounding object by the authorities.

- Grounding wire for telephone line

5) Do not damage, break, or twist the power cord.

Service Manual

Do not put heavy objects on the power cable. Do not forcefully bend or pull the power cable.

It may cause a fire or an electric shock.

6) Keep the power cable away from a heat source.

Do not insert the power plug with dust on it into a power outlet.

It may cause a fire or an electric shock.

7) Do not put a metallic object or a container with water in it inside the machine.

8) With wet or oily hands, do not touch the power plug, do not perform servicing, touch the power plug, insert a telephone jack, or operate the machine with wet or oily hands. It may cause an electric shock.

3. Note for installing site

Do not install the machine at the following sites.

1) Place of high temperature, high humidity, low temperature,

low humidity, place under an extreme change in temperature and humidity.

Paper may get damp and form moisture inside the machine, causing paper jam or copy dirt.

For operating condition, refer to the specifications described later.

2) Place with a lot of vibration

It may cause a breakdown.

3) Poorly ventilated place

An electro-static type copier will produce ozone inside it.

The quantity of ozone produced is designed to a low level so as not to affect human bodies. However, continuous use of such a machine may produce an odor of ozone. Install the machine in a well ventilated place.

4) Place with direct sunlight.

Plastic parts and toner may be deformed, discolored, or may undergo qualitative change.

It may cause a breakdown or copy quality issues.

5) Place which is full of organic gases such as ammonium

The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum used in the machine may undergo qualitative change due to organic gases such as ammonium.

Installation of this machine near a diazo-type copier may result in copy quality issues.

6) Place with excessive dust

When dusts enter the machine, it may cause a breakdown or copy quality issues.

7) Place near a wall

Some machines require intake and exhaust of air.

If intake and exhaust of air are not properly performed, copy dirt or a breakdown may be a result.

8) Unstable or slant surface

If the machine drops or falls down, it may cause an injury or a breakdown.

If there are optional paper desks and the copier desks specified, it is recommendable to use them. When using the optional desk, be sure to fix the adjuster and lock the casters.

Service Manual

1. General

Each adjustment item in the adjustment item list is associated with a specific Job number. Perform the adjustment procedures in the sequence of Job numbers from the smallest to the greatest.

However, there is no need to perform all the adjustment items. Perform only the necessary adjustments according to the need.

Unnecessary adjustments can be omitted. Even in this case, however, the sequence from the smallest to the greatest Job number must be observed.

If the above precaution should be neglected, the adjustment would not complete normally or trouble may occur.

ADJ 1 Process sectio n

1-A 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.

AR-6020 ADJUSTMENTS 5 – 1

3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten the fixing screws of the developing doctor in the sequence of

13233.

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.

1-B MG roller main pole position adjustment

1) Remove the DV front cover, and put the developing tank 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 fix-

NOTE: If a jam error or paper empty occurs during copying in the

adjustment by the simulation, the image data is not saved, and therefore recopying is required.

2-A Image position adjustment 2-A (1)Lead edge image position adjustment

NOTE: This adjustment executes the copy image position and the

lead edge void amount adjustment.

By adjusting the image reading start position and the print start position (the registration roller ON timing) under the 100% printing.

When this adjustment is executed, the current setting value is displayed in 2-digits. (The center value is 50.)

The switching of each setting and display can be made with pressing the [AUTO/TEXT/PHOTO] key.

When the adjustment value is entered by the [Numeric] keys and press the [START] key, the setting value is saved and the machine makes one copy. (The setting value range is from 1 to 99.)

When the [INTERRUPT] key is pressed, the process is interrupted and the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. When the [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated.

When this adjustment is executed with the original cassette tray, the adjustment values of all cassette trays becomes the same value.

(When the adjustment value is increased by 1, the position is shifted by 0.1mm.)

C = 10 x R (mm)

When the C value is increased by 10, the image loss amount is decreased in 1mm.

4) Measure the distance between the lead edge of the paper and the image printing start position (H mm). Then, set the value (A) by calculating with the following formula.

Paper rear edge

A = 10 x H (mm)

When the A value is increased by 10, the image lead edge moves to the paper lead edge in 1mm.

5) Set the lead edge adjustment value (B) to 50 (2.5mm).

When printing is made with bypass tray, use A3 paper with the AB destination or the W-letter with the Inch destination.

When the adjustment value of the print start position is increased by 1, the timing of the registration roller is delayed and the printing image is cut in 1mm. When the adjustment value of the image reading start position is increased by 1, the image reading start position is shifted to home position (towards you) in 1mm.

1) Enter SIM50-01 mode.

2) Set the following setting value to [1] by [Numeric] keys and press the [START] key. Then, print one copy.

Item A: The print start position (The [AUTO] indicator lights. )

Item B: The image lead edge void amount (The [TEXT] indicator lights.)

Item C: The image reading start position (The [PHOTO] indicator lights.)

3) Measure the image loss amount (R mm) of the scale. Then, set the value (C) by calculating with the following formula.

When the B value is increased by 10, the void area is expanded in 1mm.

When the B value is set to less than 25, the void amount becomes 0.

2-A (2)RSPF copy lead edge position

adjustment

NOTE: This adjustment executes the RSPF copy lead edge posi-

tion adjustment.

When the adjustment value of the paper reading position is increased by 1, the timing of the reading start becomes faster and the machine reads the paper faster in 0.1mm amount. When the adjustment value of the paper reading position is increased by 1, the image reading start position is shifted to the reverse direction. The adjustment range is from 1 to 99.
