B. Toner cartridge

The indications of a lot number are the same as those of the developer cartridge.

4. Life end conditions

A. Toner cartridge

After detecting near end, when the toner density is lowered to the specified level or lower and the toner sensor detects toner LOW continuously for a certain time, it is judged as toner end.

B. Developer cartridge/Drum cartridge

When the developer (developer cartridge)/drum counter exceeds the specified number of sheets.

When the rpm of the developer cartridge/drum cartridge exceeds the specified number.

In an actual use, in the correction operation and the warm-up operation as well as the output operation, the developer cartridge and the drum rotate idly.

If the correction operation and the warm-up operation are made frequently, idle rotations of the developer cartridge and the drum are increased accordingly.

Because of these factors, the consumption degree of the developer cartridge and the drum cartridge cannot be determined only with the print quantity. When, therefore, the number of rotations of the cartridge exceeds the specified level, it is judged as life end.

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.

When the adjustment value (specified value) of the middle speed mode is set, the adjustment values of the other modes are automatically set according to the middle speed mode setting in a certain relationship.

NOTE: Since the high voltage output cannot be checked with a digital multi meter in this model, a judgment of the output must be made by checking the print image quality.

NOTE: Before executing this adjustment, check to confirm the following items.

*Check to confirm that the image density sensor is clean.

*Check to confirm that the transfer belt is clean and free from scratches.

NOTE: This adjustment executes automatically at the outset of registration adjustment operation and process control operation as well as SIM44-2.

2)Select the tray with A4 (11" x 8.5") paper in it.

3)Press [EXECUTE] key.

The check pattern is printed out.

4)Check the printed image for any skew.

There are following two methods of checking the image for any skew (right angle).

Method 1:

Measure the length of the diagonal lines of the rectangle print pattern. Check the difference in the length of the diagonal lines for judgment of good or no good

Method 2:

Compare the right angle of vertical side/horizontal side of the rectangle print pattern and the right angle sides of A4 (11" x 8.5") paper for judgment of good or no good.

(NOTE)

In the case of Method 2, the right angle of paper to be used may not be exact. Be sure to check the right angle of paper to be used in advance.
