3) Make a copy and check that the copied center line is properly
positioned.
The standard value is 0 ±2mm from the paper center.

(Copy B)
(Paper feed direction)
4) If the measured value is out of the specified range, change the set
value and repeat the adjustment procedure.
When the set value is increased by 1, the copy image is shifted by
0.1mm toward the rear frame.
• For the manual paper feed, change the manual paper feed
adjustment mode and perform the similar procedures.
• Since the document center offset is automatically adjusted by the
CCD which scan the reference lines (F/R) on the back of document
guide, there is no need to adjust manually.

2. Copy density adjustment

A. Copy density adjustment timing
The copy density adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
• When maintenance is performed.
• When the developing bias/grid bias voltage is adjusted.
• When the optical section is cleaned.
• When a part in the optical section is replaced.
• When the optical section is disassembled.
• When the OPC drum is replaced.
• When the main control PWB is replaced.
• When the EEPROM on the main control PWB is replaced.
• When the memory trouble (U2) occurs.
B. Note for copy density adjustment
1) Arrangement before execution of the copy density adjustment
• Clean the optical section.
• Clean or replace the charger wire.
• Check that the voltage at the high voltage section and the
developing bias voltage are in the specified range.
C. Necessary tool for copy density adjustment
• One of the following test charts:
UKOG-0162FCZZ, UKOG-0089CSZZ, KODAK GRAY SCALE
• B4 (14" x 8 1/2") white paper
• The user program AE setting should be "3."
