improve the operability
From Aug. 1997/DH711273
CONTENT
The following items have been changed.
(Note: Each languages ROM )
Items
5560
FIELD APPLICATION
To be applied when necessary
FACTORY APPLICATION
The ROM (LCD ROM) for each languages will be altered later. The MAIN ROM will not be
altered. If only the MAIN ROM is altered, then operating errors could very well occur. (Refer to
"Combination of ROM Versions")
Contents Remarks
1 When inputing the new value to change the edge-erase width or
image-shift copy width, the new value canl be set without pressing
the SET key.
When the machine is set up for the use of access codes, after
2
copying, pressing the ALL CLEAR key twice should return it to code
stand by status. However, sometimes this does not happen, and this
is to be corrected.

1. Control contents of each setting value
Each output of transfer, separation DC, and pre-transfer discharging (PTC) for single-side/duplex
copying has been changed as shown in Table 1.

2. Countermeasure to insufficient transfer
Though the insufficient transfer problem is improved by allowing PTC output (pre-transfer
discharging), there is still some image deterioration. Then, the setting value at the time of
shipping of code 64 is "0", so single-side copying does not experience insufficient transfer even
without PTC output. Only duplex copying requires a PTC output as insufficient transfer easily
arises.
(1) Insufficient transfer in single-side copying
Increasing the numerical value "0-->3-->4-->1-->5--> 6-->7-->8", Code 64 is effective in
correcting this problem.
When insufficient transfer appears on the leading edge of the copy, it can be prevented by
setting value "3,4".
When insufficient transfer appears on the whole surface of the copy, it can be prevented by
setting values "1, 5, 6, 7, 8".
Especially, the effect on thin papers can be altered by setting value "5, 6, 7, 8".
However, as the separation DC output is down in accordance with change of the setting
value to "5 -->6 -->7 -->8 ", there is a possibility that separation claw mark (leading edge of
image) may be left or jams may occur .
(2) Insufficient transfer in duplex copying
Increasing the numerical value "0(=3,4) -->1 -->5 -->6 -->7 -->8", Code 64 is effective in
correcting this problem.
When an insufficient transfer appears, try each setting value "1, 5, 6, 7, 8".
However, as the separation DC output is down in accordance with the change of the setting
value to "5 -->6 --> 7 -->8 ", there is a possibility that separation claw mark (leading edge of
image) may be left or jams may occur .
3. Notes
When the setting value of code 64 is changed at the time of shipping to value "0", the following
settings have to be adjusted at the time of shipping before the change. (See below.)
Transfer: DC-78 ~ -88mV
Separation: AC133 ~ 151mV (True value)
AC127 ~ 144mV (Average value)
Separation DC Setting value of mode 05/code 44 is "185"
PTC: DC40 ~ 56mV
(pre-transfer discharging)
In the 5560, if the setting value of code 64 is changed, there is no change in the charger output
so there is need to adjust the exposure.
[ Combinations of ROM Versions ]
When the change of the ROM version is performed in the field, the MAIN, LCD and PNL ROMs
should also be changed to the newest versions at the same time (see below). If combinations other
than these are used, then operating errors could very well occur.
MAIN: Ver. 07
LCD: Ver. 070
