MX3500N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 4

 

This adjustment must be executed in the following cases:
* When developer is replaced.

NOTE: Be sure to execute this adjustment only when developer is

replaced. Never execute it in the other cases.

1) With the front cabinet open, enter SIM25-2.

2) Close the front cabinet.
3) Select a developing unit to be adjusted.
4) When [EXECUTE] key it pressed, it is highlighted. The devel-

oping roller rotates, and the toner sensor detects toner density,
and the output value is displayed.
The above operation is executed for 3 minutes, and the aver-
age value of the toner density sensor detection level is set
(saved) as the reference toner density control value.
When the reference toner density control adjustment operation
is completed, [EXECUTE] key display return, to normal from
highlight. This makes you know whether the adjustment opera-
tion is completed or not.
The above operation is executed each of the lower speed
mode and the middle speed mode, and the reference toner
density control value is set for each of them.
NOTE: If the operation is interrupted within 3 minutes, the 

adjustment result is not reflected (enabled).

When [EXECUTE] key is pressed during rotation, the opera-
tion is stopped and [EXECUTE] key returns to the normal dis-
play.
If [EE-EU], [EE-EL], or [EE-EG] is displayed, setting of the ref-
erence toner density control value is not completed normally.

5)

Use SIM24-5 to clear the developer counter.

6)

Use SIM44-27 to clear the half-tone correction data.

NOTE:
1)

When replacing developer, always replace all the three colors
of Yellow, Magenta, and Cyan.
If only one color is replaced, color balance may be adversely
affected. Black developer can be replaced individually.

2)

After replacement of developer or the photoconductor, be sure
to execute SIM44-27 to clear the half-tone correction data.
If the above procedure is neglected, the half-tone correction
may not be performed correctly.

 

 

This adjustment must be executed in the following cases:
* When the MC/DV high voltage power PWB is replaced. 
* When U2 trouble occurs. 
* When the PCU PWB is replaced.
* When EEPROM on the PCU PWB is replaced.
1)

Enter SIM8-2 mode.

2)

Select an output mode to be adjusted with the mode key and
the scroll key. 

3)

Enter the adjustment value (specified value) of the middle
speed mode and press [OK] key.

MX3500N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 5

The adjustment value of each color mode is specified on the label
attached to the MC/DV high voltage power PWB. Enter that value.

GBK:XXX GBC:XXX GBM:XXX GBY:XXX
When the adjustment value (specified value) of the middle speed
mode is set, the adjustment values of the other modes are auto-
matically set according to the middle speed mode setting in a cer-
tain relationship.
To adjust all the modes individually, first adjust the middle speed
mode, and then adjust the other mode.
If the middle speed mode is adjusted after adjustment of all the
modes individually, the adjustment values of the other modes are
automatically changed. Use care for that.
Therefore, unless there may be an abnormality in the output volt-
age, there is no need to check the output value.
If it must be checked that the normal voltage is outputted or if an
adjustment is required by referring to the output voltage, follow the
procedures below.
1) Remove the main unit rear cover.

2)

Open the PWB holder.

3)

Enter SIM8-2 mode.

4)

Select an output mode to be adjusted with the mode key and
the scroll key.

5)

Check the relationship between the pin No. of the connector
CNMON on the MC/DV high voltage PWB and each adjust-
ment mode.

6)

Apply a digital multi-meter to the connector CNMON pin on the
MC/DV high voltage PWB corresponding to the adjusted
mode.

7)

Press [EXECUTE] key.
The main charger grid voltage is outputted for 30sec.
If this procedure is executed for a long time, the OPC drum
and the developing roller may be adversely affected. Use this
procedure as short as possible.
If possible, it is recommendable to use an unnecessary devel-
oping unit and an unnecessary OPC drum for this adjustment.

8)

Check the monitor voltage with the digital multi-meter.
If the monitor voltage is not in the range of the specified values
shown in the table above, change the adjustment value and
adjust again. If the specified value voltage is not obtained even
though the adjustment value is changed, the following parts
may be defective.
MC/DV high voltage PWB
PCU PWB
Developing unit
OPC drum unit
High voltage circuit electrode

 

This adjustment must be executed in the following cases:
* When MC/DV high voltage power PWB is replaced.
* When U2 trouble occurs.
* When PCU PWB is replaced.
* When EEPROM on the PCU PWB is replaced.

MX3500N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 6

1) Enter SIM8-1 mode.

2) Select an output mode to be adjusted with the mode key and

the scroll key.

3) Enter the adjustment value (specified value) of the middle

speed mode and press [OK] key.

The adjustment value of each color mode is specified on the label
attached to the MC/DV high voltage power PWB. Enter that value.

DVK:XXX DVC:XXX DVM:XXX DVY:XXX
When the adjustment value (specified value) of the middle speed
mode is set, the adjustment values of the other modes are auto-
matically set according to the middle speed mode setting in a cer-
tain relationship.

To adjust all the modes individually, first adjust the middle speed
mode, then adjust the other mode.
If the middle speed mode is adjusted after adjustment of all the
modes individually, the adjustment values of the other modes are
automatically changed. Use care for that.
Therefore, unless there may be an abnormality in the output volt-
age, there is no need to check the output value.
If it must be checked that the normal voltage is outputted or if an
adjustment is required by referring to the output voltage, follow the
procedures below.
