7. Adjusting the Position of the Mirrors and Lens

a. Adjusting the Position of the No.1 Mirror Mount (length of optical path between

mirrors 1 and 2)

Adjust the tension of the scanner drive cable before making this adjustment. Adjust the posi-

tion of the scanner (mirror 1) by altering the tension of the scanner drive cable. (Loosen the cap

screws.)

For reference:

1. The cable will stretch after a large number of copies have been made, making readjustment

necessary.

2. An incorrect distance between mirror 1 and mirror 2 will cause an incorrect side-to-side repro-

duction ratio and poor focus, resulting in poor sharpness and fuzziness in the copy image.

1) Draw lines 10 mm from each edge of a piece of copy paper (A3), as shown in Figure 10-211.

Figure 10-211

2) Make a copy of the paper with the lines marked on it. (A)

3) Place a blank sheet of paper on the copyboard and feed the marked sheet of paper into the

copier. (Use manual feed.) (B)

• Passing the sheet through the copier indicates the amount of shrinkage due to heat.

4) Align the lines on the left side of the copy sheet (A) and the sheet passed through the copier (B).

If the lines on the right do not match, adjust the position of the scanner so that the dimensions

x and y equal.
