5-1. Quality Checks During troubleshooting, the quality checks in this section may help find the problem. These checks should also be done when installing a new machine, in order to discover any defects that may be present. 1. Copy Quality The test chart shown on this page is used for the copy quality checks explained on the following pages.
1. Copy Density Density must be equal in the left, right, and center. If it is not, adjust the shading plate position (see “Flat- ness” on page 3-15). 2. Skew Copy a test chart using standard resolution. The difference between A and B (see the diagram on page 5-1) must be as follows. A4 [8.5”...
8 x 15.4 (Fine) resolution, also send one in Fine resolution. (Note that Fine resolution in the Ricoh FAX610 or FAX830 is 16 x 15.4 and not the same as Fine resolution in the FAX80/85.) Check the following: resolution selection, RTI display, voice request function.
5-2. Copy Quality Troubleshooting 1. Received Copies If there is no fault in the transmitting terminal or on the line, but the copy quality is bad, either: • Check that the printer cover is closed properly. • Check the thermal head pulse width. •...
