10) Check the horizontal image distortion.
If LL = LR, there is no horizontal distortion
11) If LL is not equal to LR, perform the following procedure.
Loosen the setscrew of the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit
drive pulley in the front or the rear frame.
12) Without moving the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit drive pul-
ley shaft, manually turn the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit
drive pulley whose setscrew was loosened, and adjust the
parallelism of copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit.
13) Tighten the set screw of the copy lamp unit/No.2/3 mirror unit
drive pulley.
14) Check the image distortion in the same manner as step 10).
Repeat procedures 11) to 14) until horizontal image distortion
is eliminated.
(2) Vertical image distortion adjustment
a. Summary

.
2) Check image distortion in the right and the left sides.
If the both vertical lines are in parallel with each other, the right-
left distortion balance is proper. (However, there may be some
distortion.)
2) If all the four angles are right angles, there in no distortion and
the following procedures are not required.
