Lead edge image position Used to adjust the copy image position and the lead edge void quantity on the copy paper. The adjustment is made by adjusting the image scan start position and the print start position (resist roller ON timing) at 100%. (Operating procedure) When this simulation is executed, the current setup value is displayed the current setup value is displayed in two digits. (Center value: 50) Press the copy mode select key to select your desired coy mode, and the display will change. Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key and press the PRINT switch, and the setup value will be saved and a copy will be made. Press the clear key to save the setup value and exit from the simulation mode. When the adjustment is made for the main cassette feed, all the adjustment values at all the paper feed ports become the same. (Increasing the setup value by 1 corresponds to about 0.1mm shift.) Adjustment mode Print start position (Main cassette paper feed) Print start position (2nd cassette paper feed) Print start position (Manual paper feed) Image lead edge void quantity Image scan start position Image rear edge void quantity SPF image scan start position (Adjustment procedure) AE ON TEXT ON PHOTO ON 1. Set the print start position (A), the lead edge void quantity (B) and the scan start position (C) to 0, and make a copy at 100%. 2. Measure the image loss quantity (R mm) of the scale. (Example) Set C = 10 R (mm) (Example: Set 40.) Distance from the paper lead edge When the value C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. to the image lead edge: H = 5mm (Default: 50) Image loss: 3. Measure the distance (H mm) from the paper lead edge to the image print R = 4mm start position. Set A = 10 H (mm) (Example: set 50) 5mm When the value A is increased by 1mm, the image lead edge is shifted to the paper lead edge by 1mm. (Default: 50) 4. Set the lead edge void quantity to B = 50 (2.5mm). (Default: 50) 10mm When the value B is increased by 10, the void is increased by about 1mm. (When set to 25 or less, the void becomes zero.) The SPF adjustment is performed by adjusting the SPF image scan start position.

Main Sub Content code code Center offset adjustment Used to adjust the copy image position on the copy paper and the center offset position when scanning a document. (Operating procedure) When this simulation is executed, the current setup value is displayed. Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key and press the PRINT switch, and the entered value will be saved and a copy will be made. When the clear key is pressed, the entered value will be saved and the simulation will be terminated. (When the setup value is increased by 1, shift is increased by 0.1mm.)

: Supported only for installing models, and skipped for not-installing models. When the setup value is too great, outside of the shading area may be read, and black streaks may be produced on the edges. When the adjustment value is increased, the image is shifted to the left. When the adjustment value is decreased, the image is shifted to the right. Memory reverse position adjustment in duplex copy When this simulation is executed, the current setup value of correction is displayed. Enter the correction value with the 10-key and press the PRINT switch, and the entered value will be saved. (Correction value 1 99, correction zero = 0, or 50) When the correction value is set to 0, the correction value is written as 50. Front surface printing in the S-D mode and printing on even pages in the D-S mode are reverse memory copy operations from the document rear edge section. When, therefore, the output image print position adjustment is required, adjust as follows: In the reverse memory copy operation, if the document scan direction is in the direction of the arrow in the figure, the scan rear edge section of the image is printed first. When, therefore, the print lead edge is shifted, set the reference chart so that the reference position is in the rear edge section, and use this simulation to adjust so that the print image lead edge comes to the lead edge. Since printing is performed by processing the scanned image from the scan end position to the scan lead edge, the print lead edge position adjustment is performed by changing the end data position stored in memory with the simulation setup value.
