MX-1800N  ADJUSTMENTS  6 – 11
6) Loosen the LSU (writing) unit fixing screws (2 pcs.) and shift
the skew adjustment screw in the arrow direction to adjust the
LSU (writing) unit skew.
(When Method 1 is used to check the black image for any
skew (right angle) in procedure 4)
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)
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.
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 satisfied, execute the procedures
below.
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 character)
from the rear frame side, turn the adjustment screw counter-
clockwise. When the image is skewed in the arrow direction of
B (to the larger character), turn the adjustment screw clock-
wise.
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.
 
ADJ 7
OPC drum phase adjustment
This adjustment must be executed in the following cases:
* When the OPC drum is replaced.
* When the OPC drum is removed from the main unit.
* When the OPC drum drive section is disassembled.
* When the OPC drum drive unit is replaced.
* When U2 trouble occurs.
* When the PCU MAIN PWB is replaced.
* When EEPROM on the PCU MAIN PWB is replaced.
