MX-5141N  ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS  5 – 70

2)

Select the mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

3)

Input numeric value corresponding to sharpness level (filter
process mode).

- Adjustment item A:

When selecting AUTO, filter is selected according to dot pat-
tern state automatically and adjusts sharpness.

Input small numeric value to obtain crispy image. Input large
numeric value to decrease moire.

- Adjustment item B:

Select HIGH to obtain clear images. Select SOFT to reduce
moire.

- Adjustment item C - J:

When setting ON, smoothness in the image shade part
improves by applying soft filter. (asperity decreases)

4)

Press [OK] key.

5)

Make a copy and check the copy image.

If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-60 mode
and change the adjustment value.

Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is obtained.

 

If a tone gap occurs on part of high density in copy mode, or if there
is necessity to increase the density of the part of high density,
change the setting.

This setting is normally not required. When, however, there are
case of following, change the setting.

* When a tone gap occurs on part of high density.

* When there is a necessity to increase the density of the part of

high density.

* When there is request from the user.

2)

Select the item A, B with the scroll key.

* If a tone gap occurs on part of high density, set 0 to item A and B

The density of high density part decreases. However, the tone
gap is better.

* In case of more increase of the density on high density part, set 1

to item A and B.

The tone gap may occur in high density part.

NOTE: Do not change the setting values of item C, D, E and F. If

these values are changed, density of the high density part
is changed.

If these values are changed, be sure to execute the copy
color balance density adjustment. (Auto adjustment)
 

 

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 Y, M, C 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 it is required to change the color balance in the single

color copy mode.

* When there is request from the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-25 mode.

2)

Select the color to be adjusted with the scroll key.

3)

Select the color (YMC) to be adjusted with the color key.

4)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key.

5)

Press [OK] key.

6)

Make a copy in the single color copy mode and check the
copy.

If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-25 mode
and change the adjustment value.

Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is obtained.

MX-5141N  ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS  5 – 72

 

This setting is normally not required, however, in the following
cases, make changes to the setting:

* When copy in DSPF/RSPF mode differs from copy in document

table mode.

* When copy density in DSPF/RSPF mode is low or too high.

* When the DSPF/RSPF unit is replaced.

* When the DSPF/RSPF unit is disassembled.

* The CCD unit has been replaced.

* U2 trouble has occurred.

* When the MFP PWB is replaced.

* When the EEPROM on the MFP PWB is replaced.

1)

Enter the SIM 46-9 mode.

2)

Select the mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

When adjusting density on low density part, select "A (COPY
LOW)". When adjusting density on high density part, select "D
(COPY HIGH)".

3)

Enter the adjustment value with 10-key.

In case of increase of image density, input large numeric
value. Or in case of diluting the image density, input small
numeric value.

4)

Press [OK] key.

5)

Make a copy in the DSPF/RSPF mode and check the copy.

If a satisfactory result is not obtained, return to the SIM 46-9 mode
and change the adjustment value.

Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is obtained.
 

 

In the user program mode, the user can execute the auto color cal-
ibration (auto adjustment of the copy color balance and density).

This adjustment is to set Enable/Disable of the above user opera-
tion with SIM 26-53.

MX-5141N  ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS  5 – 73

NOTE: This setting must be set to ENABLE only when the user's

understanding on the automatic adjustment of the copy
color balance and density and the user's operational ability
are judged adequate enough to execute the adjustment.

When set to enable, operation procedures must be fully
explained to the user.

1)

Enter the SIM 26-53 mode.

2)

Select ENABLE or DISABLE with 10-key.

When disabling, set to "0" (NO). When enabling, set to "1"
(Yes).

3)

Press [OK] key.

When set to DISABLE, the menu of the user auto color calibration
(automatic adjustment of copy color balance and density) is not dis-
played in the user program mode.

NOTE: This adjustment is based on the service target color bal-

ance set with SIM 63-7 and SIM 63-8. If, therefore, the
above settings are not properly performed, this adjustment
cannot be made properly.

1)

Enter the system setting mode.

2)

Enter the copy setting mode.

3)

Press the auto color calibration key.

4)

Press [EXECUTE] key.

The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed out.

5)

Set the color patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in pro-
cedure 4) on the document table.

Set the patch image so that the thin line is on the left side as
shown in the figure.

At that time, place 5 sheets of white paper on the above color
patch image (adjustment pattern).

6)

Press [EXECUTE] key, and the copy color balance adjustment
is executed automatically. After completion of the adjustment,
the display returns to the original operation screen.

The message, "Will you go on to the printer color balance
adjustment?" is displayed.

To execute the printer color balance adjustment successively,
perform the procedures same as the above.

 

This simulation is used to improve the image quality in a certain
mode. (Refer to the list in procedure 6.)

1)

Enter the SIM46-54 mode.

2)

Press [EXECUTE] key.

A4/11" x 8.5" or A3/11" x 17" paper is automatically selected.
The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is printed.

3)

Set the patch image (adjustment pattern) printed in the proce-
dure 2) on the document table so that the thin lines on the
printed patch image (adjustment pattern) are on the left side.
Place 5 sheets of white paper on the printed patch image
(adjustment pattern).
