[1] GENERAL

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 misfeed paper.

•Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path. It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.



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.

D. Note for handling PWB and electronic parts

When handling the PWB and the electronic parts, be sure to observe the following precautions in order to prevent against damage by static electricity.

1) When in transit or storing, put the parts in an anti-static bag or an anti-static case and do not touch them with bare hands.

2) When and after removing the parts from an anti-static bag (case), use an earth band as shown below:

•Put an earth band to your arm, and connect it to the machine.

3) When repairing or replacing an electronic part, perform the procedure on an anti-static mat.

Note :The temperature at the end portion of the heat roller may rise too

high, depending on the kind of paper to be used, when in continuous printing of small-size paper. To avoid this, when the thermistor at the end portion detects a higher temperature than the specified level, output is stopped temporarily. During temporary stop, Power Save Indicator lamp flashes in the same manner as warming up.

(2) 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 fixing screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjustment plate in the arrow direction to adjust.



3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten the fixing screws of the developing doctor in the sequence of 132

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.

8) Measure the image loss R of the copied image. Enter the set value of the image scanning lead edge position (RRC-A) 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)>

10) Set the lead edge void adjustment value (DEN-A)* again.

• 1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.1mm shift.

• Calculate the set value from the formula below. B/0.05 (mm) = Lead edge void adjustment value <B: Lead edge void (mm)>

Example: When setting the lead edge void to 2.5mm

:2.5 /0.05 = about 50

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

fine adjustment.

9) Measure the distance H between the paper lead edge and the image print start position. Set the image print start position set value (TRAY1) again.

• 1 step of the set value corresponds to about 0.1mm shift.

• Calculate the set value from the formula below.

b. SPF image lead edge position adjustment (SIM50-6)

1) Set a scale on the OC table as shown below.

Note:Since the printed copy is used as a test chart, put the scale in

parallel with the edge lines.

2) Make a copy, Then use the copy output as an original to make an SPF copy again.

3) Check the copy output. If necessary, perform the following adjustment procedures.

4) Execute SIM 50-6.

5) Set the SPF lead edge position set value (SIDE1) so that the same image is obtained as that obtained in the previous OC image lead edge position adjustment.

Example: 5/0.1 = 50 = about 50 Note:If the set value is not obtained from the above formula, perform the

fine adjustment.

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