AR-M351U/M451U, AR-M355U/M455U  ADJUSTMENTS  8 - 1
[8] ADJUSTMENTS
1. Process section
A. Doctor gap adjustment
This adjustment is performed in the following cases:
• When developer is scattered.
• When an uneven image is produced.
1) Remove the developer cartridge and the developing unit from
the machine.
2) Remove the DV cover and the developer from the developing
unit.
3) Remove the DVR cover, the DVF handle, the idle correction
plate assembly, and the HG gear 22T, insert a thickness
gauge (0.46mm) as shown in the figure below, and check that
the clearance is within the specified range.
If the clearance is not within the specified range, adjust the doctor
gap in the following procedures.
4) Loosen the developing doctor fixing screw A.
5) Insert the thickness gauge (0.46mm) again as shown in the
figure below.
6) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction and tighten
the fixing screw.
7) Check the developing doctor gap. If the clearance is within the
specified range, fix the screw with screw lock.
8)  After completion of the job, apply screw lock.
<Adjustment specification>
B. MG roller main pole position adjustment
This adjustment is performed in the following cases:
• When developer is scattered.
• When an uneven image is produced.
1) Remove the developer cartridge and the developing unit from
the machine.
2) Remove the DV cover and the developer from the developing
unit.
3) Remove the DVF handle and put the developing unit on a flat
surface.
4) Bind a string to a needle.
5) Hold the string and move the needle toward the MG roller.
(Since the MG roller diameter is small, use of a clip cannot
make an accurate adjustment.)
6) With the needle tip 2 - 3 mm apart from the MG roller surface,
mark the point on the MG roller in the elongated line of the
needle. 
(Keep the needle and the MG roller apart from each other.)
7) Measure the distance from the marking position to the P sur-
face of the developing unit, and check that the distance is
within the specified range.
If the distance is not within the specified range, perform the adjust-
ment in the following procedures.
8) Loosen the fixing screw of the main pole fixing plate.
No.

(1) Developing bias output check and setup
1) Remove the rear cabinet to allow checking of the high voltage
monitor output pin. 
2) Execute the simulation of the target high voltage. 
(See the table below.)
3) Select the mode to be set with 10-key, and press START key. 
4) Enter the set value with 10-key and press START key. The set
value is outputted for 30 sec. 
5) Apply a high voltage tester between the measurement pin and

2. Image check, adjustment
(1) Copy image check 
1) Place a test chart (UKOG-0089CSZZ) on the reference posi-
tion of the OC, and make a copy. 
2) Place a test chart (made as shown below) face-down on the
(D)SPF, set the document guide, and make a copy. (Single 
Single)
3) Place a test chart (made as shown below) face-up on the
DSPF, set the document guide, and make a copy. (Duplex 
Single)
4) Check each output copy.
(Image distortion/ each void/ lead edge position/ Off-center/
Magnification ratio/ Density/ Dirt, etc.)
5) If there is no problem in copy images, the image check is com-
pleted.
(2) Division of adjustment positions
1) If there is any problem in checked images, perform self-print
and the adjustment positions (scanner side/ engine side) are
divided.
*:
If there is any problem in the copy image and no problem in
the self print, an adjustment on the scanner side is required.
If there is any problem on the copy image and any problem in
the self print, an adjustment on the engine side is required.
(3) Adjustment procedures
Perform the adjustment procedures as described below. 
A. Adjustments on the engine side
<1> LSU right angle adjustment
Items which must have been completed before this adjust-
ment.

Items which must be executed after completion of this adjust-
ment.
• Print off-center adjustment
• Print lead edge adjustment
• Front/rear and left/right void amount setting
1) Execute SIM64-1.
2) The print pattern "71" is printed. 
3) Check the output print.
4) Loosen two fixing screws of the LSU unit 
(M4 screws which are fixing the LSU and the top plate).
5) Adjust the LSU fixing position with the adjustment memory as

6) Tighten two fixing screws of the LSU unit. 
7)  Print again in the grid pattern and check the print.
8)  Repeat procedures 4) to 7) until the specification is satisfied.
<Right angle check method>
<1> Make self-print of pattern 71.
<2> Draw a line perpendicular to the sub scan direction (paper
transport direction) with a square. 
The point of intersection of the perpendicular line and the
horizontal line is regarded as the starting point. 
<3> Measure distance A (between the self-printed line and the
perpendicular line drawn with a square) at a position of
220mm from the starting point.
<4> Check that distance A satisfies the following specification. 
Making of SFP test chart
a.
Use standard paper of A3. 
b.
Mark to the full width of the paper so that each void/image
loss can be checked.

d.
Draw a center line in the paper transport direction to identify
the off center.
