∗ Top margin

The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made according to the set value.

∗ Left margin

Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted. Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed. If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.

1) Put the developing unit on a flat surface.

2) Tie a needle or pin on a string.

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.

(Purpose) Operation/procedure

1. Touch the item to be set.

2. Enter the set value with the 10-key. To support an individual necessity in paper and the environment, it is

variable in the range of 5 to 30uA in the increment of 1uA in each mode.

When changing +V2, check with +V1 unchanged. If there is any trouble in the half tone image of graphics, keep the relationship between +V1 and +V2 at the default and change it.

When the image quality is deteriorated because the user selects the OHP mode and use other than the recommended OHP, decrease the transfer current to adjust deterioration of black background picture quality. If some of characters are not printed, increase the transfer current.

This setting is changed in linkage with SIM 26-6 destination setting. *1: SECL/SCA/SEF/EX inch series/EX AB series/EX inch series (FC)/
