(Adjustment 1)

Hinge ass’y R hinge space dimension adjustment

(1)

Loosen the two fixing screws of SPF.

(2)

Loosen the nuts, turn the distortion adjustment screw and adjust
dimension T to 3.0 mm. 

(3)

Tighten two fixing screws of SPF and fix the hinge base. 

(4)

Fix the distortion adjustment screw with the nut. 

When the distortion adjustment screw is turned in the direction of X
(clockwise), the dimension T is increased. 

(Turn the distortion adjustment screw in the direction of X (clockwise),
and shift the SPF in the direction of arrow as shown above to adjust
the dimension T.)

When the distortion adjustment screw is turned in the direction Y
(counterclockwise), the dimension T is decreased. 

(Adjustment 2)

Hinge ass’y L SPF height a adjustment

(1)

Loosen the nut and turn the height adjustment screw to adjust
dimension a to 10 

±

 0.5mm.

(2)

After adjusting the height, fix he height adjustment screw with
the nut.

Turn the distortion adjustment screw in the direction of C (clockwise)
to increase dimension a. 

Turn the distortion adjustment screw in the direction of D (counter-
clockwise) to decrease the dimension a. 

Hinge ass’y R SPF height b adjustment

(1)

Loosen the nut and turn the height adjustment screw to set
dimension b to 10 

±

 0.5 mm.

(2)

After adjusting the height, fix the height adjustment screw and
loosen the nut. 

When the height adjustment screw is turned in the direction of C
(clockwise), the dimension b is increased.

When the height adjustment screw is turned in the direction of D
(counterclockwise), the dimension b is decreased.

(Image distortion specification)

The right angle distortion of the short side for the long side must be
adjusted to less than 1.0 mm.

With the above operation, "AUOD" (automatic document feeder
open/close sensor) is displayed on the message screen. 

2) Check that the open/close sensor (AUOD) is ON when the dis-

tance between the base height reference projection (1) inside the
automatic document feeder and the table glass (2) is 20 

∼

 50mm. 

If the distance is shifted, adjust as follows.

3) Loosen the fixing screw (2) of the open plate (1) at the rear of the

hinge on the right side of the automatic document feeder, and

The ADF document lead edge stop position is adjusted by using
SIM 53. 

•

When shipping, the lead edge is set to (8). An adjustment may be
required depending on documents.
The adjustment range is 8mm (8 steps) in the stopper side and
7mm (7 steps) in the glass side. (1mm: 1 step) For each mode of
single, and duplex, the adjustment value can be set independently.

1) Execute SIM 53-1 on the copier. 

2) Enter the stop position adjustment value in each mode.
