the numeric keypad.

5) Press the Start key. 

6) Press the start key to have the voltage output for 30 seconds. 

The operation can be stopped with the CUSTOM SETTINGS key. 

If the output voltage is not within the requirement, do the following
steps. 

7) Enter the adjustment value using the numeric keypad. 

8) Press the Start key

(The adjustment value is put into memory, and the corresponding
voltage is output for 30 seconds.) 

Repeat steps 7 to 8 until the output requirement is satisfied.

This adjustment is needed in the following situations: 

• The high voltage power PWB (MC/DV/TC) has been replaced.

• U2 trouble has occurred. 

• The PCU PWB has been replaced.

• The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced. 

1) Go through the modes specified in Simulation 8-6.

2) Select the number that corresponds to the adjustment item

(FRONT/BACK) using the numeric keypad. 

3) Press the Start key

4) Enter the adjustment value (default) using the numeric keypad. 

5) Press the Start key

(The adjustment value is put into memory, and the corresponding
voltage is output for 30 seconds.) 

The operation can be stopped with the CUSTOM SETTINGS key.

Note: It is not possible to determine the adjusted transfer voltage

(print operation mode) (FRONT/BACK). If the voltage seems to
be abnormal after setting the default value, therefore, the high
voltage PWB (MC/DV/TC) should be replaced.

This adjustment is needed in the following situations: 

• The high voltage power PWB (MC/DV/TC) has been replaced.

• U2 trouble has occurred. 

• The PCU PWB has been replaced.

• The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced. 

1) Remove the rear cover of the machine. 

2) Apply a digital multi-meter to the connector CN2 pin (1) of the high

voltage PWB and the chassis GND.

3) Go through the modes specified in Simulation 8-17.

4) Select the number that corresponds to the adjustment item (SHF

FRONT / SHF BACK) using the numeric keypad. 

5) Press the Start key. 

6) Set each adjustment item to the default value (enter the adjust-

ment value and then press the Start key). 

Note: The adjustment items (SHF FRONT / SHF BACK) correspond

to the AC component of the 'transfer belt cleaning mode voltage'
applied to the transfer roller, but  this voltage component cannot
be determined. If the voltage seems to be abnormal after setting
the default adjustment value, therefore, the high voltage PWB
(MC/DV/TC) should be replaced.

7) Select the number that corresponds to cleaning operation mode

(THV-) using the numeric keypad.

Note: The adjustment items (THV-) corresponds to the DC component

of the 'transfer belt cleaning mode voltage' applied to the trans-
fer roller.

8)  Press the Start key. 

9) Press the Start key to have the voltage output for 30 seconds. 

If the output voltage is not within the requirement, do the following
steps. 

The operation can be stopped with the CUSTOM SETTINGS key. 

10) Enter the adjustment value using the numeric keypad. 

11) Press the Start key.

(The adjustment value is put into memory, and the corresponding
voltage is output for 30 seconds.) 

Repeat steps 10 to 11 until the output requirement is satisfied.

This adjustment is needed in the following situations: 

• The high voltage power PWB (TC cleaning) has been replaced. 

• U2 trouble has occurred. 

• The PCU PWB has been replaced.

• The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced.

1) Connect the transfer section to the main body side using the trans-

fer extension harness (DHAi-3629FCZZ).

2) Remove the front frame cover of the duplex section, and remove

the rear frame cover of the transfer section.

3) Apply a digital multi-meter to the check pin of the high voltage

PWB (TC cleaning) and the chassis GND.

Repeat steps 8 to 9 until the output requirement is satisfied.

This adjustment is needed in the following situations: 

• The developing unit has been disassembled. 

• The print density is low. 

• The toner is excessively dispersed.

1) Remove the developing unit of the machine.

2) Remove the developing unit cover and blade cover.

3) Loosen the DV doctor fixing screws.

4) Manually turn the DV roller to align the marking on the DV roller

surface with the DV doctor position.

5) Insert a 0.525mm clearance gauge in between the DV roller and

DV doctor so that the gauge is positioned at a distance of 40 mm to
70 mm from the DV doctor end face.

6) Tighten the DV doctor fixing screws while pressing the DV doctor

in the arrow direction.
