AL-2020/2035/2040/2050/2060 ADJUSTMENTS 9 - 7

2) Print start position (Duplex back surface) (SPF/RSPF) 50-19

(PHOTO)
The size (length) of a document read from the SPF/RSPF is
detected, the image at the trailing edge of the first printing sur-
face is cut to make a void area. (The adjustment of void quantity
at the time when the cassette paper size is not recognized.)

The paper void quantity should be first adjusted before the image
cut trailing edge void quantity (SPF/RSPF) is adjusted.

(Adjustment procedure)

(1)

Paper trailing edge void quantity

1) Preparing test chart (Draw a scale at the rear end of one side

of a sheet of A/4 white paper or letter paper)

2) Set the test chart on the document glass as shown below.

3) Using the user simulation [18], set the paper size of the first

cassette.

• Letter paper: 4

• A4 paper: 3

4) Execute SIM 50-19 to turn on the TEXT lamp (or PRINT mode

lamp for the AL-2050/2060) and make the printing mode in OC-
D mode.
Make a copy of the test chart to check the void area of the scale
on the image.

Adjust the setting so that the void area is 4 - 5 mm. An increase in
1 of setting represents 0.1 mm in void area.

(2)

Print start position (Duplex back surface)

1) Set the test chart so that the scale is positioned as shown

below.

2) Execute SIM 50-19 to turn on the PHOTO lamp (or SCAN mode

lamp for the AL-2050/2060) and make the printing mode in the
S-D mode.

3) Remove and reinsert the cassette.

Note: Make sure to carry out this step before making a copy dur-

ing this adjustment.

4) Make a copy and check the void area of the scale on the

image.
Adjust the setting so that the void area is 2 - 4 mm. An
increase of 1 in setting represents an increase of 0.1 mm in
void area.

5. SPF/RSPF scan position automatic

adjustment

Place a A4 paper (white chart) so that it covers the SPF scan glass
and the OC glass together, and close the SPF/RSPF.

When simulation 53-08 is executed, the current adjustment value is
displayed as the initial display.

* Default is 1. Adjustment range is 1 – 99. Adjustment unit 1 =

about 0.127mm

* If the values are kept as the default values, SPF/RSPF scan is

not performed properly. The front area of the proper scan position
may be scanned.

In case of AUTO, press [START] key, and the mirror unit scans from
the home position to the SPF/RSPF scan position with the adjust-
ment value displayed. The SPF glass cover edge position is calcu-
lated from the difference between the SPF glass cover edge and
the OC side document glass CCD output level. If the adjustment is
normal, the adjusted value is displayed. If abnormal, the error LED
lights up with the current set value displayed.

During the error LED is lighted, when [START] key is pressed again,
execution is performed again.

Operation

The operation is similar to simulation 46-01. (In MANUAL)
