There is no operation of tray selection. 

The optimum paper tray for the scanned size is selected.

Even when the SPF/RSPF is selected, if there is no original on the
SPF/RSPF, the OC is scanned.

Even when the OC is selected, if there is any original on the SPF/
RSPF, the SPF/RSPF is scanned. (Setting 2)

* The adjustment can be made in the range of –12.7% - +12.7% by

the increment of 0.1%.

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

1.

Select “1: COPY START.”
The currently set value is displayed beside the item. 

2.

Press the [START] key.
Copying is started and the set value is stored. 

There is no operation of tray selection. 

The optimum paper tray for the scanned size is selected.

When two pages are scanned, duplex printing is made. 

Note: Executable only when the FAX is installed.

1.

Touch the item to be adjusted.
The item and the currently set value are highlighted.

2.

Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key and press the [P] key.,
The display goes to the copy menu.
When the [START] key is pressed, the display goes to the copying
state and print is started.

(When the [P] key is pressed: Copy menu)

3.

Select the paper feed tray and the print density.
Enter the exposure level with the 10-key.

4.

Press the [START] key.
Copying is started.

Note: When this simulation is canceled, the display is shifted to the ini-

tial menu, but the machine is not reset.

(Adjustment procedure)

1.

Note down the adjustment value of SIM 50-5 (Items 1, 2, 3, 4), and
change the value to 99.

2.

Set SIM 50-1 (Items 2, 3, 4, 5) to 1. (By setting to 1, there is no void.)

3.

Place a chart with a clear lead edge (or a ruler) on the OC docu-
ment table. 

4.

Use SIM 50-1 (Item 1) to execute test print. Check the print out and
adjust so that the lead edge image is printed. (1 - 99: About
0.127mm/Step)

5.

Reset the adjustment values of SIM 50-5 (Items 1, 2, 3, 4) to the
original values, and execute test print. Check the print out and
adjust so that the lead edge image is printed on the lead edge of
paper. (1 - 99: About 0.127mm/Step). 

6.

Adjust SIM 50-1 (Items 2, 3, 4, 5) so that the lead edge void on the
print out is the specified value. (1 - 99: About 0.127mm/Step)

7.

Similar to procedure 6, adjust SIM 50-1 (Item 6, 7) so that the rear
edge void is the specified value. (1 - 99: About 0.127mm/Step) 

8.

Similar to procedure 6, adjust SIM 50-1 (Item 8, 9) so that the left
edge void is the specified value. (1 - 99: About 0.127mm/Step)
