MX-1800N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 41
2) Enter the SIM 63-7 mode.
3) Touch [SETUP] key.
4) Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) correctly
adjusted and printed in the copy color balance adjustment
(Manual adjustment) (SIM 46-21) (ADJ 20C) on the document
table.
The color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed with SIM
64-2 can be used instead. In this case, however, check that the
printed pattern is normal.
(When the color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed by
SIM 64-2, set the item B (PROC ADJ) to "0 (YES)" and touch
[EXECUTE] key to print.)
A color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed by another
machine can be used.
Set the pattern so that the light density side is on the left side.
Place 5 sheets of white paper on the color patch image
(adjustment pattern).
If the color balance could not be adjusted satisfactorily with
SIM 46-21 (Color balance adjustment (Manual)), do not exe-
cute SIM 63-7 to register the service color balance target data.
5) Touch [EXECUTE] key.
The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is read.
6) Touch [REPEAT] key, set the second color patch image
(adjustment pattern), and execute the procedure 5) again.
The color balance (gamma) target set level of each color
(KCMY) can be checked with K/C/M/Y keys. 
Check that the set level is increased in the sequence of B – O.
If there is no variation or variation is reversed, it is judged as
abnormal.
In case of an abnormality, settle the problem and try again.
7) Touch [OK] key.
The color balance (gamma) of the color patch image (adjust-
ment pattern) used in the procedure 5) is set as the service tar-
get.
(Procedures to set the service color balance target and the 
color balance target for the user color balance adjustment to 
the same color balance as the factory color balance target)
This procedure must not be executed when the copy color balance
was adjusted with SIM 46-21 to a unique color balance requested
by the user and it was registered as the service color balance tar-
get with SIM 63-7.
* When the factory color balance target is changed with SIM 63-11,
be sure to execute this procedure.
1)
Enter the SIM 63-8 mode.
2)
Touch [EXECUTE] key.
3)
Touch [YES] key.
The service color balance target and the color balance target for
the user color balance adjustment are set to the same color bal-
ance as the factory color balance target.
 
20-D
Copy density adjustment (Each color copy 
mode) (Whole adjustment) (Normally 
unnecessary to adjust)
This adjustment is required in the following cases.
* When a U2 trouble occurs.
* When the MFP PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.
The density is adjusted in each copy mode individually. Normally
individual adjustments are not required. When there is a request
from the user, execute this adjustment.
1)
Enter the SIM 46-1 mode.

MX-1800N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 43
Normally individual adjustments are not required. This adjustment
is executed when there is a request from the user.
1) Enter the SIM 46-10 mode.
2) Select the copy mode to be adjusted with the mode key.
3) Select a color to change the adjustment value with the color
key.
4) Select the density level (point) to be adjusted with the scroll
key.
5)
Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and touch [OK] key.
When the adjustment value is increased, the density is
increased. When the adjustment value is decreased, the den-
sity is decreased.
When the arrow key is touched, the color densities selected
with the color keys are collectively adjusted. That is, all the
density levels (points) from the low density point to the high
density point can be adjusted collectively.
When [EXECUTE] key is touched, the adjustment pattern is
printed out.
The color balance at each density level (point) and the density
can be checked by referring to this printed adjustment pattern.
However, it is more practically to make a cop and check it.
 
20-G
Monochrome copy density adjustment 
(Density adjustment at each density level in 
each monochrome copy mode) (Normally 
not required)
This adjustment is required in the following cases.
* When a U2 trouble occurs.
* When the MFP PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.
This is to adjust each density level in each monochrome copy
mode.
Normally individual adjustments are not required. This adjustment
is executed when there is a request from the user.
1)
Enter the SIM 46-16 mode.
2)
Select the density level (point) to be adjusted with the scroll
key.
3)
Enter the adjustment value with 10-key and touch [OK] key.
When the adjustment value is increased, the density is
increased. When the adjustment value is decreased, the den-
sity is decreased.
When the arrow key is touched, the selected are collectively
adjusted. That is, all the density levels (points) from the low
density point to the high density point can be adjusted collec-
tively.
When [EXECUTE] key is touched, the adjustment pattern is
printed out.
The density at each density level (point) can be checked by
referring to this printed adjustment pattern. However, it is more
practically to make a cop and check it.

MX-1800N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 44
 
20-H
Gamma/density adjustment in the text 
image edge section (Normally not required)
This adjustment is used to change the reproduction level of text
and outline to an optional level by changing the gamma and the
density at the edge section of text image. The thickness of fine text
and fine lines is changed by this adjustment.
The adjustment result must be checked in the Text/Printed Photo
copy mode (Manual).
This adjustment is enabled only in the Text mode, the Text/Printed
Photo mode, and the Text/Photograph copy mode.
When the default adjustment value is changed, this adjustment is
required in the following cases.
* When a U2 trouble occurs.
* When the MFP PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.
1) Enter the SIM 46-27 mode.
2) Select an adjustment item with the scroll key.
3)
Enter the adjustment value with 10-key.
When the adjustment value of item A, C, or E is changed, the
gamma at the edge area of text and lines is changed.
When the adjustment value is increased, the image contrast at
the edge area of text and lines is increased. When the adjust-
ment value is decreased, the contrast is decreased.
When the adjustment value of item B, D, or F is increased, the
image density at the edge area of text and lines is increased.
When the value is decreased, the density is decreased.
4)
Touch [OK] key.
5)
Touch [CLOSE] key to exit from the simulation.
6)
Make a copy in the TEXT/Printed Photo copy mode (Manual),
and check the copy.
Use a document with fine text and line images for copying and
checking.
If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-27
mode and change the adjustment value.
Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is
obtained.
 
20-I
Copy color balance adjustment (Single 
color copy mode) (Normally not required)
This adjustment is used to set the color balance and the density in
the single color copy mode to the user's request.
The adjustment is made by changing YMC components of each
color.
This adjustment is not required normally, but executed when there
is a request from the user.
When the default adjustment value is changed, this adjustment is
required in the following cases.
* When the CCD unit is replaced.
* When a U2 trouble occurs.
* When the MFP PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.
a. Adjustment procedures
1)
