Before You Start
M199/M200/M203/M204 3-2 SM
Laser Unit
1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit. Doing so will
throw the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit, as these are permanently adjusted at the
factory. If replacement of the LD drive board is necessary, replace the entire LD unit.
3. Keep the polygon mirror and toroidal lens free of dust. Laser performance is very sensitive to
dust on these components.
4. Do not touch the shield glass or the surface of the polygon mirror with bare hands.
5. Do not adjust the Laser Synchronization detector on the LD unit, as these are permanently
adjusted at the factory.
Transfer Roller
1. Never touch the surface of the transfer roller with bare hands.
2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.
Fusing
1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot roller and that
the roller can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and their tension springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch the inner
surface of the hot roller.
Paper Feed
1. Do not touch the surface of paper feed rollers.
2. To avoid misfeeds, the side and end fences in each paper tray must be positioned correctly so
as to align with loaded paper size.
