3. Adjusting the Mirror Position (op-
tical distance between No. 1 and
No. 2 mirrors)
Adjust the position of the mirror after at-
taching the scanner cable.
To adjust, relocate the fixing used for the
No. 1 mirror mount; loosen the two screws.
Note:
i. The cable tends to become slack as
more and more copies are made, re-
quiring adjustment.
ii. If the horizontal reproduction ratio
becomes faulty because of inaccurate
optical distance between the No. 1
and No. 2 mirrors, the images on cop-
ies will become out of focus.
1) Draw a line 10 mm from both ends of
copy paper (A4 or A3) as shown in Figure
3-405.
2) Make a copy of the sheet on which lines
have been drawn; call the copy obtained
this way sheet A.
3) Place a blank sheet of paper on the
copyboard, and feed the sheet on which
lines were drawn in the manual mode; call
the delivered sheet sheet B.
• Sheet B will show contraction by heat.
4) Put the left lines on sheet A and sheet B
together, and adjust the position of the No.
1 mirror mount so that x and y in Figure 3-
406 are identical.
x=y correct
x>y move the No. 1 mirror mount into the
direction of [a]
x<y move the No. 1 mirror mount into the
direction of [b]
Note:
If the distance between the No. 1 and No.
2 mirrors is short, the copy image will be
enlarged; if long, reduced.
