AR-C330  SETTING AND ADJUSTMENTS  7 - 36

Set the paper on the original table so that the darker density
side comes on the left side. Then place 5 sheets of white
paper on the color patch image (adjustment pattern).

If it is difficult to adjust the color balance adjustment (Manual) with
SIM 46-21 satisfactorily, do not register the service target gamma
data with SIM 63-7.

5) Press the EXECUTE key.

The color patch image (adjustment pattern) is read.

6) Press the REPEAT key and set the second color patch image

(adjustment pattern) on the original table.

The color balance (gamma) target setup level of each color can be
checked with K/C/M/Y keys.

The setup level values must be in the ascending sequence of B -
0. If there is no change or the sequence is reversed, it is judged as
an abnormality.

In case of an abnormality, resolve the problem and check again.

7) Press the OK key.

The color balance (gamma) corresponding to the color patch
image (adjustment pattern) printed in the copy color balance
adjustment (manual adjustment) (ADJ M17/ADJ 3) is set as
the service target.

Do not execute this procedure unless there is any special reason.

∗

Only when the factory target is judged as abnormal in the auto-
matic color balance adjustment by SIM 46-24, this procedure is
required in the following case:

When the ICU EEPROM data are destroyed by U2 trouble.

When SIM 63-8 is executed, the service target gamma data are
changed to the default target gamma data determined by the
machine design.

When the color balance adjustment (Auto) is executed with the
service target gamma data set to the default target gamma, a vir-
tually satisfactory result will be obtained.

1) Enter the SIM 63-8 mode.

2) Press the EXECUTE key.

3) Press the YES key.

The service target becomes the same as the default (stan-
dard) target.

NOTE for SIM 46-1 and 46-2:

The major purpose of these simulations is to delete background
copy simply.

SIM 46-1 and 46-2 are used to adjust the copy density in the low-
density area, and they do not affect the density in the high-density
area.

Note that the tone and the color phase may be changed greatly if
the set value is changed greatly.

When an extreme background copy is produced, use ADJ M17/
ADJ 3 Color balance adjustment (Manual) (SIM 46-21) instead of
this procedure.

The adjustment result of SIM 46-1 is reflected evenly to all the
color copy modes.

The adjustment result of SIM 46-2 is reflected evenly to all the
monochrome copy modes.

1) Enter the SIM 46-1 or 46-2 mode.

2) Select the copy mode to be adjusted with the scroll key.

3) Enter the adjustment value with the 10-key, and press the

[OK] key.

To increase the density in the low-density area, set a greater
adjustment value. To reduce the density, set a lower adjustment
value. The adjustment in the low-density area can be adjusted
individually for each copy mode.

The greater the set value is, the greater the density in the low-den-
sity area is, and vice versa. (The density in the high-density area is
not changed.)

4) Cancel the simulation mode, and make a copy in the normal

mode to check the copy density in the white area and the low-
density area by using the test chart (UKOG-0283FCZZ).

In this simulation mode, press CLOSE key to jump to the normal
copy mode and make actual copies of the service chart and user
documents. In this manner, the adjustment result can be checked.

The adjustment can be performed also by switching between the
simulation mode and the normal copy mode alternately and check-
ing the adjustment result with actual copies.

and the white area of the color patch section.
