The following two types of preventive maintenance should be performed:
(1)General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed based on the value of the PM counter (08-857).
This maintenance, which covers the black developer unit as well as the entire machine, should be
conducted in conjunction with the replacement cycle (For FC-22: every 30K Copies, For FC-15:
every 20K Copies) of the black developer material.
(2)Color maintenance
Color maintenance should be performed based on the value of the color PM counter (08-897).
This maintenance, which is performed with a focus on the color developer units, should be conducted in conjunction with the replacement cycle of the color developer materials.
FC-22: every 30K copies
FC-15: every 20K copies
The replacement cycle (counter value) of color maintenance is determined by the ratio of color cop y
to black copy, as shown by the following table, "Variation in PM cycles due to color/black output
ratios".
Variation in PM cycles due to color/black output ratios
*Therefore, replacing parts, cleaning and coating oil for the paper feeding unit, scanner unit, trans-
fer/transport unit, fuser unit, all should be checked and maintained in conjunction with the replacement cycle of the black developer material.
e.g. )Replacing fuser rollers: At the 3rd cycle of replacing black developer material
Replacing the transfer belt : At the 4th cycle of replacing black developer material

*For the details of maintenance items, refer to the checklist described later.
FC-22: Every 30,000, 60,000, 90,000 and 120,000 Copies
FC-15: Every 20,000, 40,000, 60,000 and 80,000 Copies
(1)Preparation
1 Discuss current machine conditions with the key operator and note them down.
2 Before star ting maintenance, make a few sample copies by TCC-1 chart and save them for
later reference purposes.
3 Turn OFF the power switch, and be sure to unplug the copier.
(2)Perf orm pre v entiv e maintenance following the checklist shown below. During maintenance, refer to
the illustrations attached and the Service Manual as required.
(3)After having finished the maintenance, plug in the copier , turn ON the power switch, and mak e a few
copies to confirm that the copier is working normally.
