MX-M260/M310/M260N/M310N  ADJUSTMENTS 5 - 9

Used to adjust the RSPF scan position automatically. 

1) With the RSPF or the OC cover open, place a white paper back-

ground on the OC glass. (In the RSPF standard model, the RSPF
glass surface is included.)

2) Enter SIM53-08, and press [START] button.

Outline of SIM: The optical unit is shifted to recognize the bound-
ary between the OC glass and the RSPF glass cover. 
With the same position as the reference, the RSPF scan position is
automatically adjusted. 

<Note>

• After completion of the RSPF scan position auto adjustment, the

RSPF lead edge adjustment must be executed. (Both surfaces)

• There must be no other sheet than the black chart on the glass sur-

face.

• Especially when in RSPF scan, the center area is scanned in the

main scan direction. Be careful to prevent external light from enter-
ing the scan area. 

3) Check that the lead edge is not shifted. (Both surfaces)

(If the original lead edge adjustment has been made properly, even
when the scan position is shifted, it is followed automatically.)

1) Set a test chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) on the OC table as shown

below.

2) Place three or more sheets of A3 (11" x 17") paper on the test

chart.

3) Execute SIM 46-2.

4) After warm-up, shading is performed and the current set value of

the density (exposure) level is displayed on the display section in 2
digits.

For mode selection, use the [10-key].

5) Change the set value with the [10-key] to adjust the copy image

density.

6) Make a copy and check that the specification below is satisfied.

Note: Place originals in the rear reference, and the test chart in the

front reference when adjusting the exposure. 

Place only the white
paper on the OC glass. 

For the RSPF standard-provision 
machine, check that the white

MX-M260/M310/M260N/M310N  SIMULATION 6 - 1

The simulation has the following functions to grasp the machine oper-
ating status, identify the trouble position and causes in an earlier stage,
and make various setups and adjustments speedily for improving the
serviceability of the machine.

1) Various adjustments

2) Setup of specifications and functions

3) Canceling troubles

4) Operation check

5) Various counters check, setup, and clear

6) Machine operating status (operation history) data check, clear

7) Transfer of various data (adjustments, setup, operations, counters)

The operating procedures and the displays differ depending on the
