No. : SP-2027

1. Measure to prevent fogging of the table glass caused by silicon oil.

1.Model Name: SF-2014/21 14/2214 Z-800 SN-1420/1430 (only for models bound for the USA)

2.General: The silicon oil of the fusing roller sometimes vaporizes and seeps into the optical unit through holes in the unit, causing the inner surface of the table glass to become fogged. To alleviate this problem the holes of the optical unit have been covered with sheets to prevent the silicon oil from seeping in.

2. Measure to prevent the leading edge of the copy image from becoming out of position.

1.Model Name: SF-2014/21 14/2214 Z-800 SN-1420/1430 (only for models bound for the USA)

2.General: The leading edge of the copy image sometimes becomes out of position due to looseness of the winding drive shaft gear in the optical unit due to temperature and humidity conditions. To alleviate this problem the diameter of the winding drive shaft pressure section has been increased and the pin has been changed.

3. Change in the method of packaging.

1.Model Name: SF-2014/21 14/2214 Z-800 SN-1420/1430 (only for models bound for the USA)

2.General: 4 cushions have been added between the top pad and the bottom pad in the shipping cartons as a packaging improvement measure to help prevent shipping damage.

4. M easur e for preve nting problem s of double f eeding dur ing manu al multi-feed op era tions.

1.Model Name: SF-2014/21 14/2214 Z-800 SN-1420/1430 (only for models bound for the USA)

2.General: Problems of double feeding sometimes occur during manual multi-feeding operations due to deviations in the pressure spring load caused by looseness in the assembly of various parts. To alleviate this problem the pressure spring has been changed to one which is more resistant to spring load deviations.

3.Action: Japanese domestic production: From the start of 1996 January production. Chinese (SOCC) production: From the start of 1996 January production. French (SMF) production: From the start of 1996 February production.
