[8] ADJUSTMENT
Each adjustment item in the adjustment item list is indicated with its
JOB number. The adjustment procedures should be performed in
the ascending order of Job numbers.
However, you do not have to always perform all the adjustment
items. Perform only the necessary adjustments according to the
actual conditions.
Skip any unnecessary adjustment items, and perform the next nec-
essary item. Even with some items skipped, the adjustment proce-
dures should be performed in the ascending order of Job numbers.
Failure to perform the adjustment items in the correct order may
result in adjustment errors or some other problems.
