1) Loosen the developing doctor fixing screw A. 2) Insert a thickness gauge of 1.5mm to the three positions at 20mm and 150mm from the both ends of the developing doctor as shown.
20mm 150mm

(2) MG roller main pole position adjustment
1) Remove the DV front cover, and put the developing tank on a flat surface. 2) Tie a string to a needle or a pin. 3) Hold the string and bring the needle close to the MG roller horizontally. (Do not use paper clip, which is too heavy to make a correct adjustment.) (Put the developing unit horizontally for this adjustment.) 4) Do not bring the needle into contact with the MG roller, but bring it to a position 2 or 3mm apart from the MG roller. Mark the point on the MG roller which is on the extension line from the needle tip. 5) Measure the distance from the marking position to the top of the doctor plate of the developing unit to insure that it is 18mm. If the distance is not within the specified range, loosen the fixing screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjustment plate in the arrow direction to adjust.

4. Contents of simulations
Main Sub code code 01 01 Contents Mirror scanning operation Details of operation When the [START] key is pressed, the home position is checked in the first place, and the mirror base performs A3 full scanning once at the set magnification ratio speed. During this scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. The mirror home position sensor status is displayed with the developer replacement required indicator. (The lamp lights up when the mirror is in the home position.) During scanning, the copy lamp lights up. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the operation is interrupted to go to the sub code input standby mode. Used to monitor the mirror home position sensor. When the sensor is ON, the developer replacement required indicator is lighted. During that time, the display section displays the sub code. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the machine goes to the sub code input standby mode. (When the CA key is pressed, the simulation is terminated.) When the [START] key is pressed, the mirror base performs A3 full scanning at the set magnification ratio speed. During scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. After 3 seconds, the mirror base performs full scanning again. During scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. * When the [START] key is pressed again, the START indicator turns and remains off. The developer replacement required indicator displays the status of the mirror home position sensor. (The lamp lights up when the mirror is in the home position.) During aging, the copy lamp lights up. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the operation is interrupted if operating, and the machine goes into the sub code input standby mode. When the [START] key is pressed, the set magnification ratio is acquired and document transport operation of single surface is performed in the case of SPF or document transport operation of duplex surfaces is performed in the case of RSPF. Since, however, there is no limited condition for this operation, it does not stop even at a paper jam. During operation, the LED on the display section corresponding to the selected magnification ratio lights up, and the magnification ratio is displayed on the 7-seg display. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed at that time, the machine goes to the sub code input standby mode. When the [CA] key is pressed, the simulation is terminated. Set paper on the SPF and fix it with tape. If paper is not fixed, the operations cannot be guaranteed. (In order to receive the sensor change notification, the load must be decreased.) The sensor status (ON/OFF) in the SPF can be checked with the following lamps. When a sensor detects paper, it turns on. The open/close detection sensor turns on when the machine is opened.
