carried out as measures for the following improvements.
3.Description:(1) In order to maintain the spatial distance with the clutch, the distance on the side of
the W-base plate delivery roller shaft clutch has been shortened by 0.5 mm.
(2) One of the fixing screws of the base plate paper delivery plate has been
discontinued to improve the return movement of the paper delivery bearing holder
23
(P/G -21).

2. Change in worm screws in the clutch to prevent warping.
1.Model name:SF-2116/ 2118/1016/1018, SF-CM15.
2.General:The W-point worm screws have been changed and the assembly process is now to be
carried out in-house instead of at the makers. These changes have been carried out in
order to stabilize the binding torque of the worm screws used in the clutches listed
below.
3.Description:With the changes carried out as described above, the supply of the clutch and the worm
screws as service parts has been changed, and the parts are now offered separately.
4.Action:From the start of 1995 October production.
3. Addition of plastic bags for the paper delivery tray guide.
1.Model name:SF-2116/ 2118/1016/1018.
2.General:There was a possibility of the grease, etc. of the paper delivery tray guide soiling other
parts which have been packaged in the same boxes, and to alleviate this problem
packaging method of the paper delivery tray guides has been changed. The paper
delivery tray guides are now put in plastic bags before being packaged in the shipping
boxes.
3.Action:From 1995 mid-August production.

4. Improvement measure for F/R transfer current balance.
1.Model name:SF-2116/ 2118/1016/1018.
2.General:The load of the TC pressure spring on the F side has been increased in order to
improve the balance of the F/R transfer current. (The transfer current of the F side has
a tendency to be relatively lower than the transfer current on the R side.
3.Description:The load of the TC pressure spring has been changed from 500 g to 620 g. The color of
the sprig has been changed to black to distinguish it from the spring on the R side.
(The change has been carried out on only the spring on the F side.)
4.Action: ∗Japanese production:From the start of 1995 July production.
French (SMF) production:From the start of 1995 August production.
5. Improvement measure to prevent the exhaust ozone filter from tearing.
1.Model name:SF-2116/ 2118/1016/1018.
2.General:There was a danger of the exhaust ozone filter tearing, and the tab coming in contact
with the VFM, causing abnormal noise, caused by factors such as vibrations and
handling during shipping. To alleviate this problem, the following improvement measure
has been carried out.
3.Description:The shape of the tab has been changed as an improvement measure to prevent the
ozone filter from tearing.
Old
New
Note:No changes have been carried out on the ozone filter itself. Further more, once
the ozone filter has been installed and set, there is no danger of the filter tearing. The
original filters are therefore being used as service parts.
4.Action:From the start of 1995 September production.
