AR-M550/M620  SIMULATION  8 - 61
Operation/Procedure
(Adjustment mode selection)
1) Select the number corresponding to the copy mode to be adjusted
with 10-key.
SPF front frame side (Front surface copy), SPF rear frame side
(Front surface copy), SPF (Back surface copy) (Select one of 3 -
5.)
2) Press [SATART] key.
(Copy density level adjustment)
1) Enter the density correction value with 10-key.
2) Press [P] key or [START] key.
(Copy condition setting in this simulation)
To select paper (paper feed tray), perform the following procedures.
1) Enter 0 with 10-key. 
2) Press [START] key. (The mode is changed to the paper feed tray
selection mode.)
3) Enter the number corresponding to the paper feed tray to be used
with 10-key.
4) Press [START] key. (The paper feed tray is selected.)
NOTE: When [P] key is pressed after entering an adjustment value in
this simulation, the adjustment value is set. When START key
is pressed, the adjustment value is set and copying is per-
formed.
• "Set value - 128" is added to the shading adjustment value (SIM 46-
17).
