AR-M236/M276/M237/M277  SIMULATION 8 - 10

When the [START] key is pressed, the copy lamp is lighted for 10sec.

1.

Select the load to be checked with the 10-key, and press the
[START] key.

The motor for 10sec, the solenoid ON for 500msec, OFF for 500msec.
(20 times)

When the [CUSTOM SETTINGS] is pressed, the operation is inter-
rupted.

The lift-up motor operates only when the tray is opened.

The lift-up motor operates only when the tray is opened.

Select the load to be checked with the 10-key, and press the [START]
key. 

The selected load is operated for 10sec.

1.

Select the load to be set with the 10-key.

2.

Press the [START] key.

When selected without setup, the selected value is registered and
highlighted. When selected with previous setup, the previous setup is
canceled and it is displayed normally.

Press [CA] key, and the simulation will be terminated and the machine
goes into the aging standby mode with the set content.

This setting is canceled by power OFF.

*1: When the machine exits from the fusing ignoring state, the roller

may be cooled down. Therefore, reset the machine to warm up
again.

AR-M236/M276/M237/M277  SIMULATION 8 - 11

When, therefore, the simulation is canceled by pressing the [CA]
key or when the copy mode display is shifted to the initial menu
display in the simulation mode of one page copy, the machine is
reset.

Note: In SIM 7-1, pressing [CA] key terminates the simulation and the

machine enters the aging mode without resetting. Therefore, to
perform "4. Intermittent setup," the intermittent cycle must be set
with SIM 7-6 in advance.
Reset is not performed when the machine enters the aging
mode.

1.

Enter the interval aging cycle time  (sec)  with the 10-key pad.
Refer to SIM 7-1.

2.

Press the [START] key.

When the [START] key is pressed in aging, copying is performed con-
tinuously. This simulation is used to set the time interval between copy
operations in the unit of second.

This setting is valid when SIM 7-1 (Intermittent setting) is enabled.

1.

Warm-up starts by the cover open/close.

(Can be performed repeatedly by open/close of the cover.)

2.

The warm-up time is counted up and displayed in the unit of sec.

If the [CA] key is pressed at this time, count-up is interrupted to ter-
minate the simulation. (However, warm-up is continued.)

3.

After completion of warming up, "WARM UP COMPLETED" is dis-
played and the control returns to the initial screen.

1.

Touch the exposure mode to be changed.
The current set value is displayed.

2.

Enter the set value with the 10-key. 

3.

Press the [START] key. 

Output is made with the entered value, and the display returns to the
original state.

The minimum increment is 2V.
The result of (Set value – 199) / 2 is stored in the EEPROM.
When reading a value from the EEPROM, the value of (EEP value *2)
+ 200 is used as the set value.
Therefore, the set value entered must be an even number. If an odd
number is entered the entered odd number + 1 is displayed after
pressing [START] key.

1.

Touch the exposure mode to be changed.
The current set value is displayed.

2.

Enter the set value with the 10-key.
