SIMULATION

General and purpose

The simulation mode has the following functions, to display the machine operating status, identify the trouble position and causes in an earlier stage and to efficiently setup and adjust the machine for improved serviceability.

1. Various adjustments Various adjustments
2. Setting of the specifications and functions
3. Canceling troubles
4. Operation check
5. Counters check, setting clear
6. Machine operating conditions (histories) data check, clear
7. Various (adjustments, setting, operation, counters, etc) data transport.

The operating procedures and displays depend on the design of the operation panel of the machine.

Starting the simulation

1. Entering the simulation mode
   1. Machine in Copy mode: [#] key -> [*] key -> [C] key -> [*] key -> Ready for input of main code of simulation.
      
   2. Entering a main code with the 10-key -> START key ON.
   3. Entering a sub code with the 10-key -> START key ON.
   4. Select an item with arrow key.
   5. The machine enters the mode corresponding to the selected item.
      Press [START] key to start the simulation operation,
      To cancel the current simulation mode and change the main code and the sub code, press [STOP] key.
2. Canceling the simulation mode to return to the normal mode
   1. Press [CA] key.
      
      Do not turn OFF the power when the machine is in the simulation mode.
      If the power switch should be turned OFF in the simulation mode, a malfunction may result. In this case, turn OFF/ON the main power source.

2. Toner cartridge installation
   1. Remove the new toner cartridge from the box. Grasp the cartridge on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times.
      
   2. Insert the toner cartridge along the guides until it locks in place while pushing the lock release lever If there is any dirt or dust on the toner cartridge, remove it before installing the cartridge.
      
3. Toner density reference control level setting
   1. With the front cover open, turn ON the machine power and enter SIM25-02.
      NOTE: When the machine is not in the simulation mode, if the front cover is closed and the machine power is turned ON, F2-40 trouble code will occur due to non-execution of SIM25-02 for the initial setting time only. Therefore, if F2-40 trouble code occur due to non-execution of SIM25-02, execute SIM25-02 according to regular procedure (based on C-I,2,3) again for the initial setting time only.
      * It is necessary to install the toner cartridge to start this simulation.
   2. Close the front cabinet.
   3. After selecting K with "I" of the "10" key, Press [START] key, and execute SIM25-02.
      NOTE: It takes about 2 minutes to execute SIM25-02 completely.
      During execution of this simulation, the front cover must not be opened and the machine power must not be turned OFF.
   4. Confirm that "COMPLETE" is displayed. [Confirmation items]
      • COMPLETE is displayed.

5	Print/scan image off-center, lead edge position adjustment	50-10

2. Description

(1) Copy gray balance and density check Method 1

Take a copy of gray test chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ) to verify whether gray balance / density is appropriate.

1. Points to note for verification of density for black and while copy mode
   Use gray test chart (UKOG-0162FCZZ), set Exposure to "3" in Text/ Printed Photo mode and take a copy to verify density. All the gray balance adjustments in user adjustment mode should be set to default (center).
   Verification using a test chart for gray (UKOG-0162FCZZ)
   Check whether following conditions are satisfied when verifying the density of a test chart for gray for copy.
   

(2) Printer gray balance/density check Method
