1. Document size detection
Size detection on the document tray
The document size is detected by the DSPF document width sensor (SPWS), and the document length is detected by the DSPF document
length sensors (SPLS1, SPLS2). The document size is judged from the document width and the document length as shown in the table below.
When, however, documents of different sizes are mixed and set on the document tray, the largest size is detected.

2. Timing chart
To increase the document replacement speed, pre-feed of the second and the later documents is performed for documents of A4/Letter or
smaller sizes. Therefore, a clutch is provided for each transport roller to perform individual control.
An electromagnetic brake is provided for each transport roller in order to reduce loads to the motor in comparison with a mechanical brake.

[7]ADJUSTMENTS
1. Levelness adjustment
This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* The DSPF section has been disassembled.
* The DSPF unit has been replaced.
1) Close the DSPF unit and check the clearance between the
projections in the front side and the rear side and the SPF
glass holding resin surface.
2) Visually check to insure that the clearance A is 1mm or less
and the clearance B is 0mm (in contact).
4) After adjustments of A and B, check to insure that the projec-
Service Manual
tion on the front right side is in contact with the glass surface of
the main unit.
2. Skew adjustment (front surface mode)
This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* The DSPF section has been disassembled.
* When replacing the DSPF unit.
* The DSPF unit generates skewed scanned images.
1) Create an adjustment chart by printing in duplex mode the selfprint pattern 71 (grid pattern) specified in Simulation 64-1.
Make sure that the print grid pattern is almost in parallel with
the paper edges, and apply position marks 'A', 'B', 'C' and 'D' to
the leading and trailing edges of the paper for both front and
back sides of the paper.

4) Open the DSPF and loosen the screw.
3. Skew adjustment (back surface mode)
This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* The DSPF section has been disassembled.
* When replacing the DSPF unit.
* The DSPF unit generates skewed scanned images.
1) Create an adjustment chart by printing in duplex mode the selfprint pattern 71 (grid pattern) specified in Simulation 64-1.

of "2. Skew adjustment (Front surface mode)."
If the back surface copy is not as shown above, perform the
procedures of step 3) or later.
3) Open the upper door, and remove the adjustment cover.
[When the main scanning direction print line is shifted to the
left]
If c < d, turn the DSPF skew adjustment screw A
counterclockwise, or turn the adjustment screw B clockwise.
[When the main scanning direction print line is shifted to the

If c > d, turn the DSPF skew adjustment screw A clockwise,
or turn the adjustment screw B counterclockwise.
* The adjustment screws A and B must be turned in proper
balance. For example, if the trouble is not removed by turning the adjustment screw A 180 degrees clockwise, do not
turn the adjustment screw A furthermore, but turn the adjustment screw B 180 degrees counterclockwise.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 until an acceptable result is obtained.
4. Image focus adjustment (front surface
mode)
For details of this adjustment, refer to "[6] ADJUSTMENTS" of the
copier Service Manual (00ZMX3500NS1E).
5. Image focus adjustment (back surface
mode)
This adjustment is required in the following cases:
* When the DSPF CCD unit is replaced.
* When the DSPF CCD unit is replaced.
* When the COPY/SCAN/FAX image focus is not properly
adjusted.
* When the DSPF unit is removed.
* When the DSPF unit is replaced.
1) Make a duplex copy in DSPF mode.
2) Make sure that the copied image on the back side of the paper
is satisfactorily focused.
If the image is not satisfactorily focused, do the following
steps.
3) Open the door. Remove the screws, and remove the transport
PG upper.
4) Turn the DSPF skew adjustment screw on the CCD unit to
adjust.

* Never loosen the screws marked with ✕.
Loosening these screws could possibly change the CCD
unit base optical axis. Once the optical axis has been
changed, it cannot be corrected through on-site adjustments. Solving such a problem requires the replacement of
the entire scanner unit.
6) Slide the CCD unit in the arrow direction (CCD sub scanning
direction) to change the installing position.
When the copy image is longer than the original scale, shift the
CCD unit in the direction B. When the copy image is shorter
than the original scale, shift the CCD unit in the direction A.
One scale of mark-off line corresponds to 0.2%.
At that time, fix the CCD unit so that it is in parallel with the
scale on the front and the rear side of the CCD unit base.
* Fix the CCD unit so that it is in parallel with the line marked
in procedure 4).
* Images are not correctly magnified in the main scanning direc-
tion.
1) On the DSPF original tray, place such an original as illustrated
below.
2) Make a normal duplex copy on A4 paper.

This adjustment is required in the following cases:
* The MFP control PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM on the MFP control PWB has been replaced.
* The scan control PWB has been replaced.

An incorrect adjustment would deviate the scanner stop position
from the required position, thus possibly causing a shadow of the
original table to appear at the leading edge of an image generated
by DSPF (front surface) mode scan.

This adjustment is required in the following cases:
* When the CCD unit is replaced.
* When a U2 trouble occurs.
* When the scanner control PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the scanner control PWB is replaced.
A. Note before adjustment
1) Check to insure that there is no dirt or dust on the SPF scanning glass, the mirror, and the lens surface. (If there is, clean it
with alcohol.)
2) Check to confirm that the patches in BK1 and BK2 arrays of
the SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ or UKOG-0280FCZ1) are
free from dirt and scratches.
If they are dirty, clean them.
If they are scratched or streaked, replace with new one.
NOTE:
Since the SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ) is easily discolored by
sunlight (especially ultraviolet rays) and humidity and temperature, put it in a bag such as a clear file) and store in a dark
place of low temperature and low humidity.
B. Adjustment procedures
1) Set the SIT chart (UKOG-0280FCZZ or UKOG-0280FCZ1)
face-down in the DSPF paper feed tray.
If the SIT chart is not available, execute SIM 63-5 to set the
CCD gamma to the default. In this case, however, the adjustment accuracy is lower when compared with the adjustment
method using the SIT chart.
NOTE: UKOG-0280FCZZ is equivalent to UKOG-0280FCZ1.
3) When a color button is selected, the adjustment value of the
selected color is displayed.
* When [B] (Blue), [G] (Green), or [R] (Red) button is selected,
the selected button is highlighted and the adjustment value
of the selected color is displayed.
* Only one color button can be selected, and the selected but-
ton is highlighted. In the initial state, [B] is selected.
* If there is a page over [↑], an active display is shown and the
page moves up. If there is no page upward, the display
grays out and the operation is invalid.
If there is a page under [↓], an active display is shown and
the page moves down. If there is no page downward, the
display grays out and the operation is invalid.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the
exclusive-use soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering
capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land
separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when
completion of soldering is confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron
tip after completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
