[9] ADJUSTMENTS

1. Optical section

A. Copy magnification ratio adjustment
The copy magnification ratio must be adjusted in the main scanning
direction and in the sub scanning direction. To adjust, use SIM 48-1.
(1) Outline
The main scanning (front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment
is made automatically or manually.
Automatic adjustment: The width of the reference line marked on the
shading correction plate is scanned to perform the main scanning
(front/rear) direction magnification ratio adjustment automatically.
Manual adjustment: The adjustment is made by manual key
operations. (In either of the automatic and manual adjustments, the
zoom data register set value is changed for adjustment.)
The magnification ratio in the sub scanning direction is adjusted by
changing the carriage (scanner) scanning speed.
(2) Main scanning direction magnification ratio adjustment
a. Cases when the adjustment is required
1) When the main PWB is replaced.
2) When the EEPROM in the main PWB is replaced.
3) When "U2" trouble occurs.
4) When repairing or replacing the optical section.
b. Necessary tools
• Screwdriver (+)
• Scale
c. Adjustment procedure
Automatic adjustment
In the first place, perform SIM48-1 (Main scanning direction
magnification ratio adjustment and black level correction (CCD dark
component target value setup)).
To perform the automatic adjustment, place the gray gradation chart
(UKOG-0162FCZZ) face down so as to fit with the left center of the
platen with the darker side (Density 10) on the left of OC.

Back of the chart
In the case of the automatic adjustment, when the PRINT switch is
pressed, the mirror base unit moves to the white plate for shading to
scan the width of the reference line, calculating the correction value
and displaying and storing this value.
After completion of the automatic adjustment, press the density
adjustment Down key, and the black level will be displayed in
hexadecimal number (3 digits) of 12bits.
After execution of the automatic adjustment, go out from the simulation
mode and make a copy to check the magnification ratio.

AR-122E/152E/153E/157E ADJUSTMENTS 9 - 1
Manual adjustment
1) Set the scale vertically on the document table. (Use a long scale
for precise adjustment.)
2) Set the copy magnification ratio to 100%.
3) Make a copy on A4 or 81/2" x 11" paper.
4) Measure the length of the copied scale image.
5) Calculate the main scanning direction magnification ratio.

6) Check that the copy magnification ratio is within the specified
range. If it is not within the specified range, perform the following
procedures.
7) Execute SIM 48-1 to select the main scanning direction copy
magnification ratio adjustment mode.
To select the adjustment mode, use the copy mode select key.
If the magnification ratio is not in the specified range (100±1.0%),
manually adjust as follows.
8) Set the adjustment mode to Manual with the copy mode select key.
9) Enter the new set value of main scanning direction copy
magnification ratio with the copy quantity set key, and press the
COPY button.
10) Change the set value and repeat the adjustment until the ratio is
within the specified range.
When the set value is changed by 1, the magnification ratio is
changed by 0.1%.
(3) Sub scanning direction copy magnification ratio
a. Cases when the adjustment is required
1) When the scanner unit drive section is disassembled or the part is
replaced.
2) When the main PWB is replaced.
3) When the EEPROM in the main PWB is replaced.
4) When "U2" trouble occurs.
