2) Select A4 (11 X 8.5) paper.
3) Press [EXECUTE] key.

The check pattern is printed out.

4) Check that the inside dimension of the printed half tone is 240

 0.5mm.

If the above requirement is not met, do the following steps.

5) Change the set value of set item A.

When the set value is changed by 1, the dimension is changed
by 0.1mm.
When the set value is increased, the main scanning direction 
image magnification ratio in the main scanning direction is
increased. When the set value is decreased, the mian scan-
ning direction image magnification ratio in the main scanning
direction is decreased.
Repeat procedures 3 thru 5 until a satisfactory result is
obtained.

 

This adjustment is needed in the following situations:
* When the resist roller section is disassembled.
* When the LSU is replace or removed.
* U2 trouble has occurred.
* The PCU PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced.
1)

MX-M1204  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 11

3) Loosen the fixing screw of the pulley angle on the front frame

side of the scanner unit B. 

4) Adjust the pulley angle position on the front frame side of the

scanner unit B so that the scanner unit B is in contact with the
stoppers on the front and the rear frames of the scanner unit B
simultaneously. 

5) Fix the pulley angle on the front frame side of the scanner unit

B. 
If the adjustment result is unsatisfactory, perform the following
procedure.
Loosen the fixing screws of the scanner unit drive pulley on the
side of of the mirror assembly that does not contact the stop-
per.
Adjust so that the scanner unit B is in contact with the stoppers
on the front and the rear frames simultaneously when the
scanner unit drive pulley is manually turned without moving the
scanner unit drive shaft. (Change the relative position of the
scanner unit drive pulley and the drive shaft.) Fix the fixing
screws of the scanner unit drive pulley. 

6) With the scanner unit B in contact with the stoppers simultane-

ously, fit the edge of the scanner unit A and the right edge of
the frame (top of the Mylar), and secure the scanner unit A
with the screw.

 

1)

Make a test chart (a rectangular pattern with four right angles)
on A3 (11 X 17) paper as shown below. 

2)

Set the test chart made in the procedure 1) on the document
table so that the test charts is shifted toward you by 30mm
from the document set reference position. With the document
cover open, make a copy on A3 (11" X 17") paper. 

3)

Check for any distortion in the sub scanning direction.
If La = Lb, there is no distortion.

MX-M1204  ADJUSTMENTS  5 – 12

4) If there is a distortion in the sub scanning direction, perform the

following procedure.
Loosen either one of the fixing screws of the scanner unit drive
pulley. (Either one in the front frame side or the rear frame side
will do.)

5) Without moving the scanner unit drive shaft, manually turn the

scanner unit drive pulley to adjust the parallelism of the scan-
ner unit A and B. (Change the relative positions of the scanner
unit drive pulley and the drive shaft.)
Tighten the fixing screw of the scanner unit drive pulley.
Repeat the procedures of 2 thru 5 until the condition of proce-
dure 3) is satisfied.
If a distortion in the sub scanning direction cannot be removed
in the above procedures, perform “ADJ 4C Scan image overall
distortion adjustment.”

 

1) Make a test chart (a rectangular pattern with four right angles)

on A3 (11 X 17) paper as shown below.

2)

Set the test chart made in the procedure 1) on the document
table, and make a copy on A3 (11” X 17”) paper. 

3)

Check for any distortion in the main scanning direction.
If the four angles of the copy image (rectangle) is right angles,
there is no distortion. (Work completed)

If there is any distortion in the main scanning direction, perform the
following procedures.

(Left side distortion adjustment)
1)

Turn the horizontal level adjustment screw of the CCD unit. 
(There are two adjustment screws in the front (A) and at the
back (B). Be sure to use only the screw in the front (A))
(When adjusting with the screw at the back (B), use a great
care for generation of shades of images.) 

If the left side inclines to the left: 
Turn the CCD unit horizontal adjustment screw (A) clockwise. 
(When adjusting the adjustment screw (B) on the front frame
side, turn the screw counterclockwise. When adjusting the
adjustment screw on the rear frame side, turn the screw coun-
terclockwise.)
