Operation/
Procedure

1. Press "TRY VR (MIN)" key (touch panel) in Fig. 2 to

close the RSPF tray guide to the minimum. Then
Press the EXECUTE key to start the adjustment.
During the adjustment, the EXECUTE key is high-
lighted. When the EXECUTE key is pressed under
this state, the adjustment is interrupted.

When two or more operations are selected, the item which is
displayed at the top is performed and the other items are can-
celed. The canceled items are returned to the normal display.
After completion of the adjustment, the adjustment result is dis-
played with the adjustment item remained highlighted.

(Normal end)
The menu of Fig. 4 is displayed for 3 sec, then the menu of Fig. 5
is displayed to complete the adjustment procedure.
The adjustment result data is displayed with numerical figures.

(Abnormal end)
The menu of Fig. 6 is displayed. IN this case, check the tray guide
position again, and press the EXECUTE key to perform the sensor
adjustment again.

2. Press "TRAY VR (MAX)" key (touch panel) to open the RSPF

tray guide to the maximum.
Then press the EXECUTE key to start the adjustment. During
the adjustment, the EXECUTE key is highlighted. When the
EXECUTE key is pressed under this state, the adjustment is
interrupted.
When two or more operations are selected, the item which is
displayed at the top is performed and the other items are can-
celed. The canceled items are returned to the normal display.
After completion of the adjustment, the adjustment result is dis-
played with the adjustment item remained highlighted.
