at the factory and is suitable under a wide range of environmental
conditions. Corona current adjustment is necessary whenever the
power packs are replaced. Adjustment may also be necessary to
correct problems with paper separation, toner transfer, or image
density.
CAUTION: – Make sure that SP9 is cleared before you change the
range on the digital multimeter. If not, the multimeter
may be damaged.
