MX-B381/B401  ADJUSTMENTS  4 – 12

When the adjustment value is increased, the void area is
increased. When the adjustment value is decreased, the void
area is decreased.
When the adjustment value is changed by 1, the void area is
changed by 0.1mm.

NOTE: The adjustment value and the actual void area are related

as follows:
Adjustment value/10 = Actual void area

NOTE: When the amount of the rear edge void is different between

each paper feed tray, change the adjustment value of item
M, N, O, P, Q, R (DENB-XXX) in SIM50-1 and adjust.
The adjustment item I (DENB) have a effect on the paper of
all paper feed tray.
Adjustment value of item M, N, O, P, Q, R (DENB-XXX) fine
adjusts to adjustment item I (DENB) for each paper tray.

After execution of the above, perform procedures 1) - 5) to check
that the void area is within the specified range.
Though the lead edge void area adjustment value is proper, if the
lead edge void area is not within the specified range, change the
adjustment value of RRCB-CS1, RRCB-DSK, RRCB-MFT, RRCB-
ADUB (RRCB-XXX) of SIM 50-1.
Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is obtained.

 

 

This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* When the scanner (reading) section is disassembled.
* When the scanner (reading) unit is replaced.
* When the LSU is replaced or removed.
* When the registration roller section is disassembled.
* U2 trouble has occurred.
* The PCU PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced.
* The scanner control PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM on the scanner control PWB has been replaced.

NOTE: Before executing this adjustment, be sure to confirm that

the ADJ 9 Print area (Void area) adjustment (Print engine
section) has been completed normally.

1)

Place a scale on the document table as shown in the figure
below.
Place a scale so that it is in parallel with the scanning direction
and that its lead edge is in contact with the document guide
plate.
Place white paper on the document table so that the scale lead
edge can be seen.

2)

Go through the modes specified in Simulation 50-1.

3)

Set RRCA, LEAD, and SIDE to the default values.

MX-B381/B401  ADJUSTMENTS  4 – 13

4)

Perform the image lead edge reference position adjustment.
Shift from the simulation mode to the copy mode and make a
copy in 100% mode and in 200% mode.
When the adjustment value of RRCA is proper, the lead edge
image from 3.0mm is not copied in either of 100% and 200%
copy scale.
If not, change and adjust the RRCA value.
(Adjust so that the lead edge image from 3.0mm is not copied
in either of different copy magnification ratios.)
Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is
obtained.

5)

Image loss adjustment
When the adjustment item of the image loss below is set to the
default value, it is adjusted to the standard state. If it is not in
the below standard state, or when it is set to a desired value,
change these adjustment items.

Void area: 3.0mm, Image loss: 3.0mm

When the adjustment value is increased, the image loss is
increased. When the adjustment value is decreased, the
image loss is decreased.
When the adjustment value is changed by 1, the void area is
changed by 0.1mm.

 

This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* The scan control PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM on the scan control PWB has been replaced.
* The scanner (reading) section has been disassembled.
* The scanner (reading) unit has been replaced.
* U2 trouble has occurred.
* The RSPF section has been disassembled.
* The RSPF unit has been replaced.
This adjustment is intended to adjust the scanner read position in
RSPF-mode scan.
An incorrect adjustment would deviate the scanner stop position
from the required position, thus possibly causing a shadow of the
original table to appear at the leading edge of an image generated
by RSPF mode scan.
1)

Make a copy in RSPF mode, and make sure that the printed
image at the leading edge of the copied image is free from
shadows.

If the printed image at the leading edge of the copied image
contains a shadow of the original table, then do the following
steps.

2)

Go through the modes specified in Simulation 53-8. Select the
[MANUAL] mode.

3)

Enter the adjustment value and press the [OK] key.
<<Description of adjustment display>>

• When the set value is increased, the distance from the home

position to the RSPF scan position is increased.

• When the set value is changed by 1, the scan position is

changed by 0.1mm.

• Repeat the procedures of 1) - 3) until a satisfactory result is

obtained. 

• NOTE: After execution of this adjustment, be sure to 

execute ADJ 10C Copy image position, image loss 
adjustment (RSPF mode).

 

1)

Prepare the adjustment chart.
The adjustment chart can be made by the following proce-
dures.
Use A4 (11" x 8.5") paper and draw arrow marks vertically and
horizontally on the front and the back surfaces.
At the same time, put marks of the lead edge, the trail edge,
the front end, and the rear end as well as the identification
marks of the front surface and the back surface.

2)

Enter the SIM50-6 mode.

1)

Set the lead edge image loss adjustment values (LEAD EDGE
(SIDE1/SIDE2)) on the front surface and the back surface to
the following values.
(Standard set value)
LEAD EDGE(SIDE 1): 

30 Lead edge image loss set value (Front surface)

LEAD EDGE(SIDE 2): 

30 Lead edge image loss set value (Back surface)

(When the set value is increased, the lead edge image loss is
increased.)
(Change for change in the set value: 0.1mm/step)

2)

Make a duplex copy in 100% in the RSPF mode. Check to
confirm that the lead edge image loss is within 3.0 

 1.0mm on

the front surface and the back surface. The paper lead edge
must be aligned with the presumed image lead edge.
