17-B Scan image off-center adjustment 
(Manual adjustment) (RSPF mode)
This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
* When the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the scanner (reading) section is disassembled.
* When the scanner (reading) section is replaced.
* When U2 trouble occurs.
* When the RSPF section is disassembled.
* When the RSPF unit is replaced.
To execute this adjustment, it is required that the ADJ 17A Scan
image off-center adjustment (Document table mode) must have
been properly adjusted.
1) Prepare the adjustment chart.
Draw a line at the center of the front surface and the back sur-
face of A4 (11 x 8.5) paper in parallel with the paper transport
direction. 2) Set the adjustment chart to the RSPF.
3) Make a duplex copy in the normal magnification ratio from the
manual paper feed tray, and check the image position on the
front surface and the back surface of the copy paper.
If the difference is within the range of 0   2.7mmm there is no
need to perform the adjustment.
If the adjustment is required, per form the following procedures.
4) Enter the SIM 50-12 or 50-6 mode.

ADJ 18Copy image position and image 
loss adjustment 
(Manual adjustment)
Normally if the adjustment is ex ecuted by ADJ 4 (automatic adjust-
ment), there is no need to execute this adjustment.
Only when the manual adjustment is  required, execute this adjust-
ment.
In other words, this manual adjustment is executed when a satis-
factory result is not obtained from the automatic adjustment (ADJ
4).
 
18-A Copy image position, image loss, and void 
area adjustment (M anual adjustment) 
(Document table mode)
This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
* When the scanner (reading) section is disassembled.
* When the scanner (reading) unit is replaced.
* When the LSU is replaced or removed.
* When the registration roller section is disassembled.
* U2 trouble has occurred.
* The PCU PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM of the PCU PWB has been replaced.
* The scanner control PWB has been replaced.
* The EEPROM on the scanner control PWB has been replaced.
Before executing this adjustment, be sure to confirm that the ADJ
4/ADJ 5 Print engine image skew,  image position, image magnifica-
tion ratio, void area adjustments has been completed normally.
1) Place a scale on the document table as shown in the figure below.
Place a scale so that it is in parallel with the scanning direction
and that its lead edge is in c ontact with the document guide
plate.
Place white paper on the document table so that the scale lead
edge can be seen.

2) Enter the SIM 50-1 mode.
3) Set RRCA, LEAD, and SIDE to the default values.
4) Perform the image lead edge reference position adjustment.
Shift to the copy mode, and make a copy at each of 100% and
200% in the document table mode.
When the adjustment value of RRCA is proper, the lead edge
image from 4.0mm is not copied in either of 100% and 200%
copy scale.
If not, change and adjust the RRCA value.
(Adjust so that the lead edge im age from 4.0mm is not copied
in either of different copy magnification ratios.)
Repeat the above procedures until a satisfactory result is
obtained.
5) Image loss adjustment When the adjustment item of the image loss below is set to the
default value, it is adjusted to the standard state. If it is not in
the below standard state, or when it is set to a desired value,
change these adjustment items.
Void area: 4.0mm, Image loss: 4.0mm
When the adjustment value is increased, the image loss is
increased. When the adjustment  value is decreased, the
image loss is decreased.
When the adjustment value is  changed by 1, the void area is
changed by 0.1mm.

18-BImage scanning position adjustment 
(Manual adjustment) (RSPF mode)
This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
* When the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the scanner (reading) section is disassembled.
* When the scanner (reading) section is replaced.
* When U2 trouble occurs.
* When the RSPF section is disassembled.
* When the RSPF unit is replaced.
This simulation is to adjust  the scanning position when scanning in
the RSPF mode.
If this adjustment is made improperly, the scanner stop position is
shifted from the specified position and a shade of the document
table may be reflected on the lead edge section of the scan image
in the RSPF mode.
1) Make a copy in the RSPF mode, and check for any shade on the lead edge section of the copy image.
If there is any shade of the document table on the lead edge
section of the copy image, perform the following procedures.
2) Enter the SIM 53-8 mode, and press [MANUAL] key.
3) Enter an adjustment value with 10-key, and press [OK] key. When the set value is increased, the distance from the home
position to the RSPF scanning  position is increased. When the
set value is changed by 1, t he scanning position is changed by
0.1mm.
Perform the procedures of 1) - 3) until a satisfactory result is
obtained.
After execution of this adjustment, be sure to execute ADJ 18C
Copy image position, image loss, void area adjustment (Manual
adjustment) (RSPF mode).
 
18-C Copy image position, im age loss, void area 
adjustment (Manual adjustment)

This adjustment must be performed in the following cases:
* When the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the EEPROM on the scan control PWB is replaced.
* When the scanner (reading) section is disassembled.
* When the scanner (reading) unit is replaced.
* When U2 trouble occurs.
* When the RSPF section is disassembled.
* When the RSPF unit is replaced.
a. Adjustment procedures
1) Prepare the adjustment chart.
The adjustment chart can be made by the following proce-
dures.
Use A4 (11 x 8.5) paper and draw arrow marks vertically and
horizontally on the front and the back surfaces.
At the same time, put marks of the lead edge, the trail edge,
the front end, and the rear end as well as the identification
marks of the front surface and the back surface.
2) Enter the SIM 50-6 mode.

MX-3610N
Service Manual [5] SIMULATION
1. General and purpose
The simulation mode has the following functions, to display the
machine operating status, identify the trouble position and causes
in an earlier stage, and to efficiently setup and adjust the machine
for improved serviceability.
1) Various adjustments
2) Setting of the specifications and functions
3) Canceling troubles
4) Operation check
5) Counters check, setting, clear
6) Machine operating conditions 
(operation hysteresis), data
check, clear.
7) Various (adjustments, setting, operation, counters, etc.) data transport.
The operating procedures and displays depend on the design of
the operation panel of the machine.
2. Starting the simulation
18cpm/20cpm/23cpm/31cpm(G) machine
Entering the simulation mode
1) Machine in Copy mode: Select Program key   Asterisk (*) key
  Clear key   Asterisk (*) key   Ready for input of main
code of simulation.
2) Entering a main code with the 10-key   START key ON.
Or select a main code with the SIM key on the touch panel.
3) Entering a sub code with the 10-key   START key ON.
4) Select an item with the scroll key and the item key.
5) The machine enters the mode corresponding to the selected item. Press [START] key or [EXECUTE] key to start the simu-
lation operation.
To cancel the current simulation mode and change the main
code and the sub code, press [SYSTEM SETTING] key.
Canceling the simulation mode to return to the normal mode
1) Press [CA] key. 26cpm/36cpm/31cpm(A) machine
1) Double-click the [HOME] key. (Total use quantity/Toner
remaining quantity display mode screen)
2) Touch the VER display section. (10-key mode input mode screen)
3) Touch the (#) key   Asterisk (*) key   Clear key   
Asterisk (*) key   Ready for input of main code of simulation.
4) Enter a main SIM code with the 10-key pad then touch the START key or select a main code from the SIM key list on the
touch panel.
5) Enter a sub code with the 10-key pad, then touch the START key or select a sub code from the code list on the touch panel.
6) Select an item with the scroll key and the item key.
7) The machine enters the mode corresponding to the selected item. Press [START] key or [EXECUTE] key to start the simu-
lation operation.
To cancel the current simulation mode and change the main
code and the sub code, press [BACK] key.
Canceling the simulation mode to return to the normal mode
1) Press [EXIT] key.
Do not turn OFF the power when the machine is in the simulation
mode.
If the power switch should be turned OFF in the simulation mode, a
malfunction may be resulted. In this case, turn OFF/ON the main
power source.
Touch the [BACK] key.
