MX-FN23 PRODUCT OUTLINE 1 – 1
[1] PRODUCT OUTLINE
The FN-23 is a post-processing unit of output paper from a copier, a printer, or a fax machine, which is installed to the machine below.
It is provided with the offset function which discharges output paper by shifting copy by copy, and the staple function (only one position stapling).
Since it is installed to the center tray of the machine, there is no extra space for installation.
The finisher needs a staple cartridge as a consumable part. (Staple cartridge (About 5,000 staples x 3 pcs.) MX-SCX1)

[4] ADJUSTMENTS
1. General
Perform an adjustments when a problem occurs.
If the adjustment value is changed when there is no trouble in the
machine, a trouble may be generated such as improper alignment
of paper, paper exit jam, attachment of roller marks on paper, etc.
2. List of adjustment items
3. Details of adjustment and setting
ADJ 1 Paper alignment width
adjustment
This adjustment is executed when a trouble occurs in paper alignment.
1) Execute Sim3-10.
2) Select "1: FPAM ADJUST".
3) Enter the set value with 10-key. (Press [C] key to clear the
entered values.)
Initial value: 50
When the adjustment value is increased by 1, the alignment
plate F/R width is narrowed by 0.419mm in alignment operation.
When the adjustment value is decreased by 1, the alignment
plate F/R width is widened by 0.419mm in alignment operation.
The alignment plate F and the alignment plate R cannot be
adjusted separately. The shift amount on the F side and that
on the R side are alternatively corrected everytime the adjustment value is increased by 1. (Correction with 51 for the F
side, and 52 for the R side. ... 59 for the F aide, and 60 for the
R side. Similar when the set value is decreased.) When, however, the alignment plate lower cannot be adjusted due to the
mechanism structure, adjust only on the R side without correcting both of the F and the R side.
4) Press [OK] key to save the set value.
5) After completion of the adjustment, make staple copies.
Alignment specification: Within 2.5mm
ADJ 2 Paper delivery roller
descending position
adjustment
This adjustment is executed when a paper exit jam occurs or when
roller marks of the paper delivery roller are attached to paper.
1) Execute Sim3-10.
2) Select "2: FDRLM ADJUST".
3) Enter the set value with 10-key. (Press [C] key to clear the
entered values.)
Initial value: 50
When the adjustment value is increased by 1, the shift amount
of the paper delivery roller is changed by 0.13mm toward the
pressure increasing side (*1).
When the adjustment value is decreased by 1, the shift
amount of the paper delivery roller is changed by 0.13mm
toward the pressure decreasing side (*1).
*1: The pressure increasing side means the direction to
increase the paper delivery roller pressure onto paper, and
the pressure decrease side means the direction to
decrease the paper delivery roller pressure onto paper.
4) Press [OK] key to save the set value.
