setting mode and the display are changed.
Enter the adjustment value and press [START] key to save the set value and make a copy.
When the adjustment is made by the main cassette paper feed, the adjustment values of all the
paper feed ports become the same. (When the set value is increased by 1, shift is made by
0.1mm.)

(*): Support for the installation models. For non-installation models, skip.
* When printing with the manual paper feed tray, use paper of the letter size.
* When paper is discharged, the shifter is operated.

For the AR-M200/M201, the following LED’s are lighted:
• AE lamp/COPY mode lamp: (A)
• TEXT lamp/PRINT mode lamp: (B)
• PHOTO lamp/SCAN mode lamp: (C)
2) Measure the image loss (Rmm) of the scale.
Set C = 10 x R (mm). (Example: Set to 40.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
3) Measure the distance (Hmm) from the paper lead edge to the image print start position.
Set A = 10 x H (mm). (Example: Set to 50.)
When the value of A is increased by 10, the image lead edge is moved to the paper lead
edge by 1mm. (Default: 50).

4) Set the lead edge void amount to
B = 50 (2.5mm). (Default: 50)
When the value of B is increased by
10, the void is extended by about
0.1mm. (For 25 or less, however,
the void amount is regarded as 0.)
