AR-M350 ADJUSTMENTS 9-8

Before execution of this adjustment, the following adjustment must have

been completed. 

•LSU right angle adjustment
•Print off-center adjustment

•Print magnification ratio adjustment

1) Set an original on the original table. 
2) Execute SIM 50-12.

3) Select the paper feed tray and the magnification ratio. 

4) After entering the adjustment value, pres START key, and printing is

started.

5) Check the off-center (distance from the paper lead edge) of the

printed copy. Repeat procedure 2 until the printed copy satisfies the

specifications.

•For the duplex mode (Single ? Duplex), add 10 to the above set value. 
•When the print line is shifted toward a from the paper center, decrease the value.

•When the print line is shifted toward b from the paper center, increase the value.

The image density adjustment is required for the following copy quality mode by using the simulation.

There are two methods; the collective adjustment and the individual adjustment of the copy quality mode.

AR-M350 ADJUSTMENTS 9-9

1) Place a test chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) on the original table as shown

below.

2) Place several sheets of A3 (11 x 17) white paper 

(Sharp's specified paper) on the test chart at the rear reference.

Test chart comparison

Normally this adjustment is performed with SIM 46-2. In this method, two

or more copy density adjustments in different modes can be adjusted
collectively.

1) Execute SIM 46-2.

2) Press the COPY button to make a copy.

Check that the copy density is as shown in the table below. 

If not, change the adjustment value.

•Adjustment spec

If the copy density is too light, increase the adjustment value.

If the copy density is too dark, decrease the adjustment value.

AR-M350 ADJUSTMENTS 9-10

This adjustment is used when a different density level for different copy
quality mode is required. SIM 46-5 to -7 and SIM 46-9 to -11 are used.

1) Execute the simulation corresponding to the copy quality mode to be

adjusted.

2) Press the COPY button to make a copy
Check that the copy density is as shown in the table below. If not, change

the adjustment value.

For the auto mode, there is only one adjustment value. For the other
modes, the adjustment value for each density level must be adjusted.

When images are too dark or too bright in scanning the back (CIS) of

DSPF, perform the following procedures. 

1) Make a duplex copy of a sample, and check the density of canning

the back. 

2) Execute SIM 46-20.

3) Select "3.DSPF" and adjust the gain of DSPF.

When the DSPF gain setup value is increased, the image becomes
brighter. 

When the DSPF gain setup value is decreased, the image becomes

darker.

1) Use SIM53-7 to enter the value indicated on the side of the right

hinge of the DSPF unit.

Execute SIM53-6 to perform the machine DSPF original tray size

adjustment.
1) Extend the guide to MAX. position, select 1, and press START. When

COMPLETE is displayed, press CUSTOM SETTING to return to the

initial screen.

2) Move the guide to A4R position, select 2, and press START. When

COMPLETE is displayed, press CUSTOM SETTING to return to the

initial screen.

3) Move the guide to A5R position, select 3, and press START. When

COMPLETE is displayed, press CUSTOM SETTING to return to the

initial screen.

4) Move the guide to MIN. position, select 4, and press START. When

COMPLETE is displayed, the adjustment is completed. 

If ERROR is displayed in procedures 1) - 4), repeat the adjustment
again.
