1. Installing (use) conditions
Before installing the machine, check that the following installing
(use) conditions are satisfied.
If the installing (use) conditions are not satisfied, the machine may
not display full performances, resulting in troubles. It may also
cause safety problems. Therefore, be sure to arrange the installing
(use) conditions before setting up the machine.
A. Delivery notes
For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the
door size is great enough before bringing in.
B. Installation area
The following space must be provided around the machine in order
to assure machine performances and proper operations.
If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing
it.
Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided
sufficiently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against
heat and dust, causing some troubles.
C. Power source (Capacity, voltage, frequency,
safety, plug)
If the power specifications are not satisfied, the machine cannot
exhibit full performances and may cause safety trouble.
Strictly observe the following specifications.
(1) Power capacity
Check that the following power capacity is satisfied. If not, addition-
ally provide a power source.
(2) Power voltage
Measure the voltage during copying to check that the voltage is in
the range of the specified voltage 10%.
If the voltage is outside the specified range, use thicker lead wires
to reduce impedance.
(An electrical work is required.)
Use of a step-up transformer is also available. In this case, the
capacity must be great enough for the max. power consumption of
the machine.
(3) Power frequency, waveform
The frequency must be within the range of the specified frequency
2%. If power waveform is deformed, a trouble may occur.
(4) Safety
Be sure to properly ground the machine.
(5) Power plug
Check the form of the power plug. If the shape does not match, do
not use it.
D. Floor strength and level
This machine is considerably heavy and becomes heavier with an
option installed. The floor must be strong enough for assuring
safety.
If the floor is not level, the toner density control is not normal, and
the copy quality may be adversely affected.
E. Environmental conditions
(1) Temperature and humidity
This machine is designed to perform properly under the specified
temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity exceeds
the specified range, the machine may not operate properly and or
cause equipment failure.
Especially when the humidity is too high, paper absorbs humidity to
cause a paper jam or dirty copy.
Do not install the machine near a heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.
Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use
enough care for ventilation.

skew adjustment screw (LSU) counterclockwise by the number
of the value.
At that time, the fractional part after the decimal point is rounded.
NOTE: The K (black) image skew level cannot be checked with
this adjustment.
To check and adjust the K (black) image skew, follow the
procedures below and execute the adjustment.
1) Enter SIM61-4 mode.
2) Select the paper feed tray with A3 (11" x 17") paper in it by
changing the value of set item B.
3) Press [EXECUTE] key.
The check pattern is printed out.
4) Check the printed black image for any skew.
Measure the right angle level by using the six cross patterns
printed in black.
There are following two methods of checking the black image
for any skew (right angle).
Method 1:
Measure the length of the diagonal lines of the rectangle print
pattern. Check the difference in the length of the diagonal lines
for judgment of good or no good
Method 2:
Compare the right angle of vertical side/horizontal side of the
rectangle print pattern and the right angle sides of A3 or 11 x
8.5 paper for judgment of good or no good.
(NOTE) In the case of Method 2, the right angle of paper to be
used may not be exact. Be sure to check the right angle of
paper to be used in advance.
(Method 1)
a) Measure the length of the diagonal lines of the rectangle
print pattern.

b) Calculate the difference between the measured lengths C
and D of the diagonal lines.
c) Check to insure that the difference between C and D is in
the following range. C D = 0.8mm
If the difference between C and D is in the above range, there
is no need to adjust.
(Method 2)
a) Fit the side of A3 or 11" x 17" paper to the long side of the
rectangle print pattern.
b) Measure the shift distance between vertical side of paper
and side of the rectangle print pattern.
If the above distance is 0.5mm or less, there is no need to
adjust.
If not, execute the following procedures.
5) Open the front cabinet, and remove the waste toner box.
6) Loosen the LSU unit fixing screws (2 pcs.) and shift the skew
adjustment screw in the arrow direction to adjust the LSU (writ-
ing) unit skew.
(When Method 1 is used to check the black image for any
skew (right angle) in procedure 4 in advance)
When the lengths of the diagonal line are C > D, shift the
adjustment screw in the direction of Y.
When the lengths of the diagonal line are C < D, shift the
adjustment screw in the direction of X.
(When Method 2 is used to check the black image for any
skew (right angle) in procedure 4 in advance)
If the image is skewed in the arrow direction of A, shift the
adjustment screw to X direction. If the image is skewed in the
arrow direction of B, shift the adjustment screw to Y direction.
7) Install the waste toner box, and close the front cabinet.
8) Execute procedures 3) - 4).
(Repeat procedures 5) - 8) until a satisfactory result is
obtained.)
9) If the adjustment result reaches the satisfactory level, tighten
the adjustment screw.
(The black image skew adjustment is completed with the
above.)
10) In the above black image skew adjustment, check the color
image skew pattern printed when completion of the adjust-
ment.
*A: Rough adjustment print pattern
*B: Fine adjustment print pattern
In each Y/M/C color print pattern printed separately in the front
frame direction and in the rear frame direction, note the same
print color pattern and check to confirm that the difference in
the highest density sections is within 1 step.
(Compare the front and the rear frame positions of the same-
color print color patterns. All the highest density sections of all
the print color patterns may not be aligned on a line. Compare
only the same-color patterns.)
If the above condition is not met, do the following:
11) Turn the image skew adjustment screw of the target color to
adjust.
When each adjustment screw is turned, it clicks. Turn it by
5 - 6 clicks and the check pattern is changed by 1 step (1
dot size).
When the image skew pattern on the front frame side is
skewed in the arrow direction of A (to the smaller number) from
the rear frame side, turn the adjustment screw counterclock-
wise. When the image is skewed in the arrow direction of B (to
the larger number), turn the adjustment screw clockwise.
12) Print the check pattern.
13) Check the color image skew pattern.
Repeat procedures 11) - 13) until a satisfactory result is obtained.
The image skew adjustment (LSU unit) is executed by changing
the parallelism of the LSU unit scan laser beam for the OPC drum.

The printer color balance adjustment (step 1) is automatically
performed and the color balance check patch image is printed
out.
If there is any streak or unclear print on the printed check pat-
tern, check the print engine for any problems.
*1: In the case of the GDI printer, this section is not printed.
8) The initial setting menu of the half tone image correction is dis-
played. Press [OK] key.
The initial setting of the half tone image correction is per-
formed.
9) When "COMPLETE THIS PROCEDURE" is displayed, the
adjustment operation is completed. Cancel the simulation 46-
74 by pressing the [CA] Key.
NOTE: The adjustment result becomes valid only when the both
adjustments in the copy mode and in the printer mode are
completed.
For example, if the copy color balance adjustment (auto-
matic adjustment) is performed and the simulation is can-
celed, the adjustment result is invalid.
10) Check the copy color balance and density.
There are two methods to check the color balance and density.
(Method 1)
Use the servicing color test chart (UKOG-0317FCZZ/UKOG-
0317FC11) in the Text/Printed Photo mode (Manual) to check
the copy color balance and density. (Refer to the item of the
copy color balance and density check.)
(Method 2)
By printing the color balance adjustment sheet with SIM 46-21
and comparing each process (CMY) black patch color balance
with the black patch, the color balance adjustment can be
checked more precisely.
If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY
mixed color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the
adjustment is proper. If the color balance of the adjustment
pattern printed in this mode is slightly shifted to Magenta, it is
converted into the natural gray color balance by the color cor-
rection table in an actual copy mode. (When the color balance
target is DEF 1.)
If the automatic adjustment cannot obtain satisfactory results
of the copy color balance and density, use SIM 46-21 (ADJ
20C) (Manual adjustment).
11) Check the printer color balance and density.
There are two methods to check the color balance and density.
(Method 1)
Incase that the PCL mode is supported (for the machines
where only the GDI mode is supported, this method cannot be
used)
Use SIM 64-5 to print the print test pattern and check the print
color balance and the density.
Set each setting value to the default and press [EXECUTE]
key, and the print test pattern is printed.
(Refer to the item of the printer color balance and density
check.)

MX-3100N MX-2301N/2600N/3100N, MX-2600G/3100G 1 17
(Method 2)
Use SIM67-25 to print the color balance adjustment sheet and
compare the black patch color balance of each process (CMY)
with the black patch. This procedure allows checking the color
balance adjustment result correctly.
*1: In the case of the GDI printer, this section is not printed.
If the color balance of each patch of the process black (CMY
mixed color) is slightly shifted to Magenta, it means that the
adjustment is proper. If the color balance of the adjustment
pattern printed in this mode is slightly shifted to Magenta, it is
converted into the natural gray color balance by the color table
in an actual printer mode. (When the color balance target is
DEF 1.)
If a satisfactory result on the print color balance and the den-
sity is not obtained with the automatic adjustment, execute the
manual adjustment (SIM 67-25) (ADJ 21B).
L. Function and operation check
Check that the following operations are normal.
M. Setup and adjustment data recording
Print the various setup data and the adjustment data (list) with
SIM22-6 and keep the data.
In case of a memory trouble, if the data are not kept, all the
adjustments must be made again.
If the data are kept, the setup values and the adjustment values
can be entered without adjustments, shortening the servicing
time.
N. Necessary works before moving the machine
1) If the following options are installed, remove all of them from
the machine.

8) After you have completed the adjustment, exit from simulation
mode by pressing the [CA] key.
(2) Mechanical adjustment
Since the off-center adjustment is performed when shipping, there
is basically no need to perform this adjustment. If the center is
shifted, however, the simulation is normally used. If the shift is not
removed, perform the following adjustment procedures.
1) Slowly pull out the tray until it stops.
2) Loosen the stopper fixing screw (1 pc) on the right lower side
of the tray so that the stopper does not function.
