Paper off-center adjustment
Used to adjust the positions of copy images on copy paper and the center offset position when
scanning the document.
(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed. Enter the adjustment value with
the 10-key and press the [START] key, and the entered value is stored and a copy is made.
When the [INTERRUPT] key is pressed, the entered value is saved and the machine goes into the
sub code entry standby mode. When the [CA] key is pressed, the entered value is saved and the
simulation is terminated.
(When the set value is increased by 1, the position is shifted by 0.1mm.)

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.

Note: When the adjustment value is too great, the outside area of shading may be scanned, resulting
in black streaks on copy paper.
When printing is made with manual paper feed, use A3 paper.

Enter a correction value with the 10-key and press the [START] key, and the entered value will be
saved. (The correction value range is 1 ~ 99. The default is 50.)
Printing of the front surface in the S-D mode and printing of the even pages in the D-S mode are
performed as reverse memory copying from the rear edge of the document.
When, therefore, the printing position adjustment of output image is required, perform the adjustment
as follows:
The image direction in reverse memory copying is shown in the figure below. That is, when the
document scan direction is as shown with the arrow, the output image is printed from the rear edge
of scanning. If, therefore, the print edge section is shifted, set the reference chart with the reference
position at the rear edge and use this simulation to change the set value in order to adjust the print
lead edge position.
Since printing is started at the print start position and performed from the last, saved data in the
memory to the head data, the lead edge position of an image is adjusted by changing the last data
position saved in the memory.

Shading check
The detection level of the white plate for shading is displayed.
(Operating procedure)
When the [START] key is pressed in the sub code input standby mode, the mirror base unit moves to
the white plate for shading and the copy lamp is lighted. Until the light quantity of the copy lamp is
stabilized, the sub code of "01" is displayed on the 7-seg display. When the light quantity of the copy
lamp is stabilized, it is revised every second, and the level of one pixel at the CCD center where no
correction is made is detected for 10 sec, and the detected level is displayed in hexadecimal on the
7-seg display. After completion of 10 sec detection, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.

SPF automatic correction
The SPF white correction start pixel position is automatically adjusted.
This is performed after replacement of the lens. Open the SPF unit and press the [START] key, and
the position (which pixel) of the white sheet for SPF exposure correction in the SPF position is
displayed on the 7-seg display.
If the value is 93 ~ 229, it is displayed on the 7-seg display and is written into the EEPROM.
If the value is 0 ~ 92 or 230 ~ 999, it is displayed on the 7-seg display but is not written into the
EEPROM.
If the value is 1000 or above, "-------" is displayed on the 7-seg display and is not written into the
EEPROM.
The pixel position -34 written into the EEPROM is considered as the SPF white correction start pixel
of the machine.
When shi simulation is executed with the SPF unit closed, an error will occur.
