TONER DENSITY SENSOR VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT

ADJUSTMENT STANDARD

Adjusting VR

0.1 V

VR105

SP#35

NOTE: This adjustment must be done only when the new developer is

installed.

1. Remove the middle right cover.

2. Turn on the main switch.

3. Turn on DPS-101-8 on the main board to enter the SP mode.

4. Select SP#35. (See Service Program Mode Access Procedure) and

press the Copy Exit Way key.

5. Adjust the toner density sensor voltage to 4

0.1 V by turning VR105 on

the main board [A]. (The voltage will be displayed on the operation panel.)

6. Press the Copy Exit Way key and turn off DPS101-8 and the main switch.
