Installation Instructions:

• It is recommended to use: Teflon Tape - 19 mm: A012 9112
• The position of the tape has been determined to maintain the specified 5 mm leading edge blank
margin for copies.
• Even after installing the tape, the same problem may occur if the leading edge registration of copie s is
not adjusted properly (if the paper feed timing is delayed). First check that the leading edge regis tration
of copies is OK. If it is out of specification, follow the "SECOND FEED ROLLER START TIMING"
adjustment procedure in the Service Manual.
• Strips of sandpaper are used on the leading edge portion of the cloth screen. This prevents the mast er
wrapped around the drum from slipping out of the master clamper due to the repeating press-roller
on/off action. Avoid covering all the sandpaper when you install the tape. However, to adhere the t ape
firmly, some area of the sand paper should be covered.
• Even if the sandpaper is not used on the cloth screen (the old type cloth screen), install the tape at the
same position by measuring the distance from the edge of the cloth screen. Refer to the distance
between the edge of the screen and the sand paper, which is described below.
25 mm
63 ~ 64 mm
• Cut the tape where it covers the sandpaper as shown. The indicated area must be left as shown to hold
the tape on the screen firmly. Be careful not to damage the cloth screen surface.
• Cut both edges of the tape as indicated.
• Even if the sandpaper is not used on the cloth screen (the old type cloth screen), install tape at t he
same position by measuring the distance from the edge of the cloth screen to the lower edge of the
tape (between 63 and 64 mm).
• Since the specification of the leading edge blank margin is 5 mm, it is permissible to install the t ape 5
mm lower than the position indicated above.
