Image off-center adjustment

Note
The image lead edge position and the off-center adjustment value of the desk unit have been set to the average value when shipping from the factory.
Therefore, this adjustment must be performed only when the judgment is made to execute it through checking the print image.

* There must be a tray with A4 (LT) paper in it.

1. Execute SIM50-10.
2. Select a paper feed source "3" (CS2).
3. Set A4 (11 X 8.5) paper on the CS2 paper feed tray.
4. Check to confirm that the inside dimension of the printed half-tone pattern is 240 1.2mm.
   If the above condition is not satisfied, follow and repeat the procedures of ADJ4A(Service manual) until a satisfactory result is obtained.
5. Measure the void area size of the adjustment pattern in the front/ rear frame direction (F side void amount) and that in the transport direction (Lead edge void amount).
   Check to confirm that all the following conditions are satisfied.
   

Calculation and input procedures of adjustment values
(Example) Lead edge void amount

1. Measure by visual inspection. Measurement result: 4.5mm
2. Calculate the shift amount.
   The target value is the specification value (center value) of 3mm.
   * For the F side void amount, the target is 2mm.
   → [4 – 4.5 = -0.5 (mm)]
3. Calculate the adjustment value. Subtract 5 from the shift amount of -0.5mm.
   * For the shift amount of 0.1mm, the adjustment value is varied by 1.
   → When the current value is 50:
   [50 – 5 = 45]
4. Enter the adjustment value for SUB-CS2.
   → Enter the [45].

6. Enter MAIN-CS2 (F side void) and SUB-CS2 (Lead edge void), and tap OK button.
   Enter the calculated adjustment values for the shift amount to MAIN-CS2/SUB-CS2, and tap OK button. (The cursor can be used instead of the button.)
7. After entering the adjustment values, print again and check to confirm that the avoid amounts are adjusted to the target range.

Perform procedures 4) to 7) for each paper feed tray.
