Insert the scraper into the gap between the doctor blade and developing roller,

and remove the foreign matter caught at the inner side of the doctor blade at the
positions of the voids on the developing roller by pulling the scraper towards
you.

Fig.8-6

Turn the developing unit knob and continue removing the foreign matter until

there are no more voids on the developing roller.

Attach the cover of the developing unit and install the developing unit in the

main body.

Note

：

The gap between the doctor blade and the developing roller is 0.27 mm.
