Details of operation

01

06

Mirror scanning operation aging

When the [START] key is pressed, the mirror base performs A3 full scanning at the set magnification 
ratio speed. During scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. After 3 seconds, the mirror 
base performs full scanning again. During scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. 

*

When the [START] key is pressed again, the ready lamp turns and remains off. 
The DV replacement/OPC drum cartridge replacement lamp displays the status of the mirror
home position sensor. (The lamp lights up when the mirror is in the home position.)
During aging, the copy lamp lights up. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the operation is
interrupted if operating, and the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. 

02

01

Single paper feeder (SPF) aging

When the [START] key is pressed, the set magnification ratio is acquired and document transport 
operation of single surface is performed in the case of SPF or document transport operation of 
duplex surfaces is performed. During operation, the LED on the display section corresponding to the 
selected magnification ratio lights up, and the magnification ratio is displayed on the 7-seg display. 
When the [Interrupt] key is pressed at that time, the machine goes to the sub code input standby 
mode. When the [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated. 

02

SPF sensor status display

(In order to receive the sensor change notification, the load must be decreased.)
The sensor status (ON/OFF) in the SPF can be checked with the following lamps.
When a sensor detects paper, it turns on. The open/close detection sensor turns on when the 
machine is opened. 

When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the machine goes to the sub code input standby mode. 
When the [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated. 

06

01

Paper feed solenoid operation 
check 

When this simulation is executed, the sub code is displayed on the 7-seg LED and the lamp 
corresponding to the solenoid lights up. 
Select a solenoid with the tray select key (the lamp corresponding to the solenoid lights up) and 
press the [START] key, and the machine repeats operation of ON for 500ms and OFF for 500ms.
This operation is repeated 20 times.
After that, the machine goes into the sub code entry standby mode. 
When [INTERRUPT] key is pressed during the process, the machine goes into the sub code input 
standby mode. When [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated.

02

Resist roller solenoid operation 
check

When the [START] key is pressed in the sub code input state, the resist solenoid (RRS) turns ON for 
500ms and OFF for 500ms. This operation is repeated 20 times. 
After completion of the process, the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. 
When [INTERRUPT] key is pressed during the process, the machine goes into the sub code input 
standby mode. When [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated.

10

Main cassette semicircular roller 
cleaning

The main motor is rotated to rotate the semicircular roller of the main cassette one turn to face the 
semicircular roller down. (Remove the developing layer when performing this operation.)
During this process, the sub code is displayed on the display section.
After completion of the process, the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. 

*

Press [CA] key to terminate the simulation and return the machine to the initial state.

Flash ROM program writing mode

(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, "d" is displayed on the copy quantity display and the machine 
enters the Flash ROM program writing mode. Use the writing tool on the PC to write the program. 
During writing, the display is made as follows. After completion of downloading, turn OFF/ON the 
power to reset.

SPF scan position change-over 
setting

Used to change over the scan position depending on that the SPF unit and the SPF document glass 
holder section are of anti-dirt glass or not. 
When this simulation is executed, the currently set code number is displayed. 
Enter the code number corresponding to the SPF unit to be used and press [START] key, and the 
setting will be changed over.

Though this setting is changed, the other set values are not affected. (The other set values remain 
unchanged.)
When replacing and installing the SPF unit, it is recommendable to use this simulation to set the 
scan position and execute the scan position automatic adjustment.
