b. AE Scanning Intensity Adjustment

If an optimum image cannot be obtained by executing ‘301’ (AE auto adjustment) in service

mode, perform the following:

1) Place a white background original on the copyboard glass, and select AE and Direct.

2) Make a copy, and check the copy image.

3) Select ‘302’ (AE scanning intensity adjustment) in service mode.

• The copy count indicator will indicate the present setting.

4) Change the setting using the keypad or the +/- key.

[1] A higher setting will increase the intensity, making the copy image lighter.

[2] A lower setting will decrease the intensity, making the copy image darker.

Figure 10-226

5) Press the Start key to store the new setting.

• Repeat steps 2) through 5) until an optimum image is obtained.

6) Press the Reset key to end service mode.
