2) Close the front cabinet.

3) Select the developing unit to be adjusted.

4) When the [EXECUTE] key is pressed, it is highlighted. The OPC drum drive motor rotates and the toner concentration sensor detects toner concentration and the output value is displayed.

After stirring for 3 min, the average value of toner concentration sensor detection level is set (stored) as the reference toner concentration control value.

NOTE: When the operation is stopped in 3 min, the adjustment re-

sult is not registered. When the [EXECUTE] key is pressed during rotation of the motor, it is stopped and the [EXECUTE] key returns to the normal display. If "EE-EU" or "EE-EL" is displayed, it means that the reference toner concentration control value is not set normally. EE-EL: Less than 79 (1.59V) EE-EU: More than 177 (3.41V)

5) Execute SIM 24-5 to clear the developer counter.

6) Execute SIM 44-27 to reset the half tone correction data (correction conditions) to the default.

NOTE: 1) When replacing the color developer, replace the yellow,

Magenta, and Cyan developers at the same time. If only one developer is replaced, the color balance may be abnormal. The black developer can be replaced alone.

2) After replacement of developers and the photoconductor, be sure to execute SIM 44-27 to reset the half tone correction data (correction conditions) to the default level. If the above procedure is ignored, half tone correction may not be performed properly.

a. Outline

The color balance adjustment (auto adjustment) is the automatic adjustment of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black copy density with SIM 46-24.

(There are following two modes of auto color balance adjustment.)

7 – 27

1) Auto color balance adjustment by the serviceman (with SIM 46-

24)

2) Auto color balance adjustment by the user (with the user program) (The color balance target becomes the service target.)

The auto color balance adjustment by the user is provided in order to reduce the number of service calls. If the copy color balance is shifted by some reason, the user performs the color balance adjustment to correct it. If, however, there is a basic problem in the machine, or if the machine environment is changed largely, this function does not serve as an effective means. While the automatic color balance adjustment by the serviceman allows adjustment even when the machine environment is changed largely, providing normal color balance. If there is a basic problem in the machine, repair it and adjust to provide normal color balance. The above points must be fully understood for proper operation.

When this adjustment is performed, the color balance adjustment of all the copy modes are changed. (However, the color balance adjustment level of the user program is not changed.)

b. Note for performing the color balance adjustment

(Auto adjustment)

1) The print engine section must be properly adjusted. (ADJ M1 – M16)

2) CCD gamma adjustment must be properly adjusted. (ADJ M17/ADJ 1)

3) When setting the color patch image (adjustment pattern) paper on the original table, place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image paper.

4) Be sure to use the specified color paper.

c. Adjustment procedure

(Auto color balance adjustment by the serviceman)

1) Enter the SIM 46-24 mode.

NOTE: (Descriptions on the factory and the service key button in the

color balance automatic adjustment menu) There are two kinds of gamma targets for the color balance

automatic adjustment: factory and service. The factory key button and the service key button are used to select between them.

Factory target gamma: Standard color balance (Fixed) Service target gamma: Color balance can be customized ac-

cording to the user request. (Variable) When shipping from the factory, the service target gamma

data are same as the factory target gamma data. Both are set to the standard color balance gamma. In the service target, a customized color balance can be reg-

istered with SIM 63-7. In the factory target, it cannot be changed.

Therefore, incorrect service target gamma data may have been registered by a third party after shipping from the factory.

If the service target gamma data are incorrect, the color balance adjustment cannot be performed properly. In this case, select the factory target gamma.

When, however, the user requests to customize the color balance and the service target gamma data are incorrect, perform the color balance adjustment (manual) with ADJ M17/ADJ 3.

After that, use the pattern printed with the color balance adjustment (Manual) (ADJ M17/ADJ 3) to register the service target gamma data with SIM 63-7. This procedure will revise the service target gamma.

5) Press the REPEAT key on the operation panel.

2) Select A3 or 11 × 17 paper (auto select) and press the EXECUTE key. The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed.

3) Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in procedure 2) on the original table so that the dark density side of the color patch image comes to the left side. Place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image (adjustment pattern) paper.

4) Press the SERVICE key on the operation panel and press the EXECUTE key. The copy color balance adjustment (step 1) is automatically performed, and the color balance check patch image is printed. Wait for a while until the operation menu of procedure 5) is displayed.

6) Press the EXECUTE key. The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed.

7) Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in procedure 6) on the original table so that the darker density side comes to the left side. Place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image (adjustment pattern) paper.

8) Press the EXECUTE key. The copy color balance adjustment (step 2) is automatically performed, and the color balance check patch image is printed. Wait for a while until the operation menu of procedure 9) is displayed.

7 – 28

9) Press the OK key on the operation panel. The initial setup of half tone image correction is performed according to this adjustment data.

NOTE: When OK key is pressed, initial setup of half-tone image cor-

rection is started. During this operation, "Copy Quality is being adjusted" is displayed. It takes several minutes to complete this operation.

After completion of this operation, "Please quit this mode" is displayed.

Do not cancel the simulation until "Please quit this mode" is displayed.

10) Check that the color balance check patch image printed at last is

within the specified range shown below.

Fig. 1 PG image

1) The max. density section is not blurred.

4) Patch for each of C, M, Y, BK The patch density is identical between patches or not reversed.

The patch density is changed gradually.

3) B - E patches of each color of Y, C, M, and Bk are copied very slightly.

Patch A of each Y/M/C/K color is not copied.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO

The print density should vary gradually from the lower density to the higher density without reversion of changing direction.

The density level of each color should be almost the same. It is acceptable for patch B not to be copied. Patch A is not copied. Use SIM 46-21 to print the color balance adjustment sheet and com-

pare each process (CMY) black patch color balance and the black patch. This allows a correct check on the color balance adjustment result.

If the color balance of each process (CMY) black patch in A - 0 is near the black patch referring to the patch patch, it is judged that the color balance has been correctly adjusted.

If the above conditions are not satisfied or the color balance is not satisfactory, repeat the adjustment procedures from Step 4).

In this case, select the factory target gamma instead of the service target gamma for adjustment.

As a result, the color balance is not customized according to the user’s request. However the machine is at least adjusted to the standard color balance.

If, however, the user requests to customize the color balance instead of using the standard color balance and the color balance is in a satisfactory level, go to Step 11).

If the color balance is not satisfactory, perform the manual color balance adjustment (ADJ M17/ADJ 3).

11) Execute the half tone image correction. (Forcible execution) (SIM 44-26)

When EXECUTE key is pressed, it is highlighted and the operation is started. It takes several minutes to complete the operation. When the operation is completed, the screen returns to the original state.

After completion of the operation, cancel the simulation.

12) Use the test chart UKOG-0283FCZZ and check the copy color balance and the density in Text/Photo mode. (Refer to the section of the copy color balance and the density.)

If the copy color balance and the density are not in the specified level, perform the following procedures.

13) Perform initial setup of half tone image correction. (SIM 44-21)

14) Perform half tone image correction. (Forcible execution) (SIM 44-26)

15) Use the test chart UKOG-0283FCZZ and check the copy color balance and the density in Text/Photo mode (AR-C150) Text/Printed photo mode (AR-C250/C160). (Refer to the section of the copy color balance and the density.)

Repeat procedures 13) – 15) until the specified level is obtained. However, repetition is limited to three times. If repetition of the above procedures does not set the copy color bal-

ance and the density to the specified level, there may be some other reason.

Investigate the reason and repair or fix the problem, then perform all the procedures of print quality adjustment from the beginning.

If the above conditions are not satisfied, perform the manual adjustment (SIM 46-21) (ADJ M17/ADJ 3).

(Auto color calibration by the user (Auto color balance adjustment))

NOTE: This adjustment is based on the service target color balance

set with SIM 63-7 or 63-8. If, therefore, the above simulation is not completed normally, this adjustment will not be completed normally.

1) Enter the user program mode.

2) Enter the copy mode.

3) Press the auto color calibration key.

7 – 29

4) Press the EXECUTE key.

The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed.

5) Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in procedure 4) on the original table so that the darker density side comes to the left side. Place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image (adjustment pattern) paper.

6) Press the EXECUTE key. The copy color balance adjustment (step 2) is automatically performed. After completion of the adjustment, the display returns to the original menu.

When EXECUTE key is pressed, the operation is started. It takes several minutes to complete the operation. When the opera-

tion is completed, "COMPLETE" is highlighted. After completion of the operation, cancel the simulation.

1) Enter the SIM 46-21 mode. (AR-C150/C250)

ADJ 3 Copy color balance adjustment (Manual)

This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:

•

When a consumable part (developer, OPC drum, the transfer belt) is replaced.

•

When the CCD unit is replaced.

•

When the scanner (reading) section is cleaned.

•

When a U2 trouble occurs.

•

When the ICU main PWB is replaced.

•

When the EEPROM of the ICU main PWB is replaced.

The color balance adjustment (Manual) is used to manually adjust each color copy density (C, Y, M, K) (15 points for each color) when the result of the previous automatic adjustment is unsatisfactory or when a fine adjustment is required, or when the user requests to change the color balance.

a. Note for the adjustment

This adjustment is performed only for the color patch whose result of the previous automatic adjustment is unsatisfactory.

If the color balance is out of the normal conditions, execute SIM 4624 to make the color balance adjustment (Manual) and then execute this adjustment. This sequence leads to a better work efficiency.

6) Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key and press the OK key. The adjustment value can be selected in the range of 245 – 755 (1 – 999). When SIM 46-24 is used to perform the automatic color balance and the density adjustment, all the set values of this simulation are set to 500. To increase the density, increase the adjustment value. To decrease the density, decease the adjustment value.

Repeat procedures 3) – 6) until the condition of procedure 4) is satisfied.

When the overall density is low or patch A is copied with a high density, use the arrow keys to change all the adjustment values of A - 0 simultaneously and uniformly.

Then perform the patch density adjustment. This allows to make an efficient adjustment.

By using the black patch as the reference, adjust so that the color balance of the black patch of each process (CMY) in A - 0 becomes virtually same as the black patch.

In this simulation mode, press CLEAR key to return to the normal copy mode and make actual copies of the service chart and user documents. Check the adjustment result.

7) Execute SIM 44-21. The initial setup of half tone image correction is performed.

This procedure is to store the copy color balance adjustment data as the reference data for half-tone correction.

This procedure should be always executed immediately after completion of ADJ M17/ADJ 3 (Color balance adjustment (Manual)) with SIM 46-21.

When ADJ M17/ADJ2 (Color balance adjustment (Auto)) is performed with SIM 46-24, this procedure is automatically performed.

8) Execute the half tone image correction. (Forcible execution) (SIM 44-26)

After completion of the operation, cancel the simulation.

9) Use the test chart UKOG-0283FCZZ and check the copy color balance and the density in the Text/Photo mode (AR-C150) Text/Printed photo mode (AR-C250). (Refer to the section of the copy color balance and the density check.)

If the copy color balance and the density are not in the specified level, repeat procedures 7) through 9) until they are in the specified level.

However, repetition is limited to three times. If repetition of the above procedures does not set the copy color balance and the density to the specified level, there may be some other reason. Investigate the reason and repair or fix the problem, then perform all the procedures of print quality adjustment from the beginning.

10) The service target of the auto color balance adjustment is set.

When EXECUTE key is pressed, it is highlighted and the operation is started.

It takes several minutes to complete the operation. When the operation is completed, the screen returns to the original state. After completion of the operation, cancel the simulation.

a. Outline

Auto color balance adjustment is performed with a certain color balance (gamma) as a target. There are following two kinds of targets:

Only the service target among them allows optional setup of a color balance (gamma) target.

This setup must be performed in the following cases.

•

When the user requests to customize the color balance.

•

When the service target gamma is found to be incorrect.

•

When the copy color balance and the density adjustment is manually performed. (SIM 46-21)

•

When a U2 trouble occurs.

•

When the ICU main PWB is replaced.

•

When the EEPROM on the ICU main PWB is replaced.

the actual state.

Kinds Descriptions

A Default color

balance (gamma) target (fixed)

Bfactory color

balance (gamma) target (fixed)

C Service color

balance (gamma) target (variable)

This is the average, standard color balance (gamma) target determined by the machine design. This color balance (gamma) target is identical in all the machines, without consideration for individuality of machines. When SIM 63-8 is executed, the service color balance (gamma) target becomes the same as this target. In SIM 46-24 (46-22) menu, this target is not displayed.

This is the standard color balance (gamma) target which was registered (set) in the factory, and cannot be changed in the market. This color balance (gamma) target is set depending on individuality of each machine to obtain the standard color balance. It, therefore, differs slightly in different machines. When the service target falls into an abnormal state by some reasons, this target can be used instead of it. When shipping, this target is the same as the service color balance (gamma) target.

This is obtained by registering (setting) with SIM 63-7 the adjustment pattern of the color balance (gamma) which was adjusted with SIM 46-21. This color balance (gamma) target is set depending on individuality of each machine to obtain the standard color balance. It, therefore, differs slightly in different machines. However, an optional color balance (gamma) target can be set according to a user’s request. When shipping, this target is the same as the factory color balance (gamma) target. When SIM 63-8 is executed, the service color balance (gamma) target becomes the same as the default color balance (gamma) target.

(Meaning of the service target gamma data and purpose of registration)

First, execute SIM 46-21 to adjust the color balance (Manual) according to the user request or to the standard color balance.

Then use the adjustment pattern printed in the above procedure to register the service target gamma data with SIM 63-7.

This will revise the service target gamma data. It is recommendable to record the adjustment pattern printed in the

above procedure. By using the adjustment pattern, the same color balance target can be registered in another machine. It is also useful to register the service target gamma data again.

Be careful, however, not to fold the pattern or avoid discoloration and dirt.

Basically the service target gamma data must be registered immediately after completion of the color balance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 46-21.

If a considerable time has passed after completion of the color balance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 46-21, the color balance of the adjustment pattern after a considerable time differs from that before a considerable time. Do not use such an adjustment pattern.

Whether the service target gamma data are correct or not can be determined by the following.

When the adjustment result of SIM 46-24 color balance adjustment (Auto) is abnormal or unsatisfactory:

In this case, the service target gamma data may be incorrect. The possible cause is incorrectness or abnormality of the color bal-

ance adjustment pattern used when registering the service target gamma data of the color balance adjustment (Auto) with SIM 63-7.

The color balance adjustment pattern is printed after the color balance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 46-21. The possible cause lies in this procedure.

b. Setup procedure

(Procedure to set the an optional color balance (gamma) as the service target)

1) Two sheets of color patch image (adjustment pattern) are outputted in the copy color balance adjustment (manual adjustment) (SIM 46-21). (ADJ M17/ADJ 3) At that time, when the color balance is shifted from the standard, an adjustment is required. If not, there is no need to adjust. If an optional color balance is required according to the user’s request, an adjustment is required.

2) Enter the SIM 63-7 mode.

3) Press the SETUP key.

4) Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) paper properly adjusted and printed in the copy color balance adjustment (manual adjustment) (SIM 46-21) (ADJ M17/ADJ 3) on the original table.

The color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed by SIM 64-2 may be used. In this case, check that the printed image is proper. (The other color patch images (adjustment patterns) printed by another machine may be used.) Set the paper on the original table so that the darker density side comes on the left side. Then place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image (adjustment pattern).

If it is difficult to adjust the color balance adjustment (Manual) with SIM 46-21 satisfactorily, do not register the service target gamma data with SIM 63-7.

7 – 32

5) Press the EXECUTE key. The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is read.

6) Press the REPEAT key and set the second color patch image (adjustment pattern) on the original table.

The color balance (gamma) target setup level of each color can be checked with K/C/M/Y keys.

The setup level values must be in the ascending sequence of B - 0. If there is no change or the sequence is reversed, it is judged as an abnormality.

In case of an abnormality, resolve the problem and check again.

7) Press the OK key. The color balance (gamma) corresponding to the color patch im-

age (adjustment pattern) printed in the copy color balance adjustment (manual adjustment) (ADJ M17/ADJ 3) is set as the service target.

(Procedure to set the default (standard) color balance (gamma) as the service target)

This procedure is required in the following case:

∗

When the service target gamma cannot be set normally.

When SIM 63-8 is executed, the service target gamma data are changed to the default target gamma data determined by the machine design.

When the color balance adjustment (Auto) is executed with the service target gamma data set to the default target gamma, a virtually satisfactory result will be obtained.

1) Enter the SIM 63-8 mode.

set value is changed greatly. When an extreme background copy is produced, use ADJ M17/ADJ 3

Color balance adjustment (Manual) (SIM 46-21) instead of this procedure.

The adjustment result of SIM 46-1 is reflected evenly to all the color copy modes.

The adjustment result of SIM 46-2 is reflected evenly to all the monochrome copy modes.

1) Enter the SIM 46-1 or 46-2 mode. (AR-C150)

(AR-C160/C250)

2) Select the copy mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

3) Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key, and press the [OK] key.

To increase the density in the low-density area, set a greater adjustment value. To reduce the density, set a lower adjustment value. The adjustment in the low-density area can be adjusted individually for each copy mode.

The greater the set value is, the greater the density in the low-density area is, and vice versa. (The density in the high-density area is not changed.)

4) Cancel the simulation mode, and make a copy in the normal mode to check the copy density in the white area and the low-density area by using the test chart (UKOG-0283FCZZ).

In this simulation mode, press CLOSE key to jump to the normal copy mode and make actual copies of the service chart and user documents. In this manner, the adjustment result can be checked.

The adjustment can be performed also by switching between the simulation mode and the normal copy mode alternately and checking the adjustment result with actual copies.

2) Press the EXECUTE key.

3) Press the YES key. The service target becomes the same as the default (standard)

target.

ADJ 4 Low-density area density adjustment

NOTE for SIM 46-1 and 46-2: The major purpose of these simulations is to delete background copy

simply. SIM 46-1 and 46-2 are used to adjust the copy density in the low-den-

sity area, and they do not affect the density in the high-density area. Note that the tone and the color phase may be changed greatly if the

ADJ 1A CCD gamma adjustment (CCD

calibration) (Copy document mode) (AR-C250/C160)

This adjustment is the CCD gamma adjustment (CCD calibration) for the copy document copy mode, and is different from the CCD gamma adjustment (CCD calibration) in the normal document copy mode (ADJ M17/ADJ 1). In the AR-C160/C250, there are above two kinds of the CCD gamma adjustment (CCD calibration), and both adjustments are required.

This adjustment is required in the following cases:

•

After completion of the CCD gamma adjustment (CCD calibration) (Normal original copy mode) (ADJ M17/ADJ 1)

(1) Note before adjustment

∗

Check that the table glass, No. 1/2/3 mirrors, and the lens surface are free from dirt and dust. (If dirt or dust is found, clean with alcohol.)

∗

Check that the patches of BK1 and BK2 of the SIT chart (UKOG-0280 FCZZ are free from dirt or dust. If dirt or dust is found, clean with alcohol. If any damage is found, replace with a new one.

∗

Since this adjustment is based on the normal document copy mode CCD gamma adjustment (CCD calibration) (ADJ M17/ADJ

1), the said adjustment must have been completed before execution of this adjustment. The copy color balance must also have been adjusted properly.

(2) Adjustment procedure

1) Place the SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ) on the left edge of the document table, and fit the center of the SIT chart with the center of the glass holder.

5) Enter the SIM 63-09 mode and press the [EXECUTE] key. The automatic adjustment is performed. During the adjustment, the

[EXECUTE] key is highlighted. When the adjustment is completed, the [EXECUTE] key returns to the normal display.

6) Cancel the simulation mode. NOTE: The SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ) is affected by lights (espe-

cially ultra-violet rays) and temperature and humidity. Store it in a clear file (nylon file) in a dark place.

ADJ 6 Black toner component image gamma

adjustment (Black character and black line reproduction adjustment) (AR-C250/C160) (Normally unnecessory to adjust.)

The gamma of black toner component images is changed to adjust the reproduction of the profile of the black character and line optionally. Especially the thickness of fine black character and line is changed.

Since the black toner component image quantity differs depending on the copy mode, be careful of the copy mode selection to check the adjustment result. Check in the Text/Printed Photo mode.

This adjustment is valid only in the following copy modes:

•

Text copy mode

•

Text Printed Photo copy mode

•

Text Photo copy mode

The black toner component ratio is greatest in the Text copy mode, and smallest in the Text Photo copy mode.

This adjustment is required in the following cases when the default was changed:

•

When U2 trouble occurs.

•

When the ICU MAIN PWB is replaced.

•

When the EEPROM of the ICU MAIN PWB is replaced.

1) Enter the SIM 46-27 mode. (AR-C160)

NOTE: Check that the SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ) is in close con-

tact with the document table.

2) Close the document cover without shifting the SIT chart (UKOG0280FCZZ).

3) Make a copy in the Text/Printed Photo mode. (Be sure to use the specified copy paper.)

(Diagnostics, setting, adjustment value input, data display)

1. Outline and purpose

There are the following simulation functions to check the machine operations, troubleshoot, find causes, make various settings, improves adjustment work speeds and serviceability.

1) Various adjustments

2) Specification and function setting

3) Trouble cancel

4) Operation check

5) Counters check, setting, clear

6) Machine operation conditions (operation history) data check, clear

7) Transmission of various data (adjustment, setting, operations, counter, etc.)

The operating procedures and displays slightly differ from the form of the machine operation panel.

The typical forms are as follows:

1) Code system: Values input and mode selection are made with the 10-key pad and various function keys.

2) Switch system: Simulation mode selection is made by combination of switch setting.

3) Values and mode selection is made with various function keys. As a special one, a jumper wire is used to connect the check points on the PWB to select the desired mode.
