Duplex copy rear edge void 
adjustment 

Used to adjust the rear edge void amount in duplex copy. 
(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed in two digits. 
(Adjustment range: 1 ~ 99, Center value: 50)
*

When the set value is increased by 1, the void amount is increased by about 0.1mm. 

Press the copy mode select key to select a suitable setting mode and a display. Enter the adjustment 
value with the 10-key and press the [START] key, and the entered value is saved and a copy is made. 
(Paper information is cleared after every copying). 
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. 

51

02

Resist amount adjustment 

Used to adjust the contact pressure of the machine resist roller and the RSPF resist roller onto the 
paper. 
(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, the current set value is displayed. 
When the exposure mode key is pressed, the following set items are changed sequentially. Enter an 
adjustment value with the 10-key and press the [START] key, and the entered value will be saved and 
a copy will be made. (Adjustment range: 1 ~ 99, Default: 50)
When the [CA] key is pressed, the entered value is saved and the simulation is terminated. 

Supported for the installed models only. Skipped for the models without installation.

08

SPF scanning position automatic 
adjustment

Place the black chart so that it covers both the SPF scan glass and the OC glass. Close the OC 
cover. When this simulation is executed, the current adjustment value is displayed as the initial 
display. When the [START] key is pressed, the mirror unit scans from the home position to the SPF 
scan position with the current adjustment value displayed, and the SPF glass cover edge is 
calculated from the difference between the SPF glass cover edge and the OC side document glass 
CCD output level. 
*

The default is 50, the adjustment range is 1 ~ 99, and the adjustment unit 1= about 0.127mm. 

If the adjustment is completed normally, the adjusted value is displayed. If not, the jam lamp lights up 
with the current set value displayed. When the [START] key is pressed again with the jam lamp ON, 
the execution is repeated again. When the [Interrupt] key or the [CA] key is pressed during execution, 
"- -" is displayed and the operation is canceled. The mirror returns to its home position and the 
simulation mode is terminated. In the case when the [Interrupt key] is pressed, the machine goes 
into the sub code input standby mode. In the case when the [CA] key is pressed, all the lamps are 
turned off.

03

HSYNC output check

When the [START] key is pressed, HSYNC is performed and the polygon motor is rotated for 30 sec. 
Every time when HSYNC is detected, the zoom lamp is lighted for 100msec.

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. 

07

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.

64

01

Self print

The optical system status is ignored and a self print is made. Also when a print command is sent 
from the host, printing is performed. 
(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, warm-up is performed and the ready lamp is lighted. 
(However, the scanner is invalid and no initial operation is made.)
Enter the code number with the 10-key, and select a cassette with the cassette select key and press 
the [START] key. The selected cassette start paper feed and printing is performed in the selected 
pattern.
*

Only the tray lamp and the online lamp are lighted, and no other lamps are lighted. 

Printing is made in 1 by 2 mode, where one line is printed and the following two liens are not printed, 
or in the grid pattern.

Print data are made on A3 size. (A3 paper is preferable.)

Parameters

Auto clear time

1

"Auto clear time" automatically returns the copy settings to the initial 
settings when a certain period of time elapses after a copy is made. 
This program is used to select the period of time. "Auto clear time" 
can also be disabled.

Preheat mode

2

This function automatically switches the machine to a low power 
consumption state if the set duration of time elapses without the 
machine being used when the power is on.
The POWER SAVE indicator lights up, however, the keys on the 
operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically 
resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original 
is placed, a print job is received, or scanning is begun from a 
computer.

Auto power shut-off timer

3

This function automatically switches the machine to a state that 
consumes even less power than preheat mode if the set duration of 
time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. 
All lights except the POWER SAVE indicator and ON LINE indicator 
go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key (

). 

Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is 
received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power 
shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key (

)) can be used.

When copying using the SPF/RSPF, during the period of time that 
the SPF/RSPF indicator blinks after an original has been scanned 
(about 5 seconds), a subsequent original can be placed and 
automatically fed into the machine.

When the auto paper select function is enabled and there is no 
paper that is the same size as the original and loaded in the same 
orientation, this function will automatically select paper of the same 
size that is loaded in the opposite orientation, and rotate the image 
90 degrees so that it is copied on the paper in the correct 
orientation.
When the auto ratio select function is operating and the original and 
paper are loaded in opposite orientations, this function rotates the 
image so that it is copied on the paper in the correct orientation.
