(2) Check the life of the consumables (particularly the drum, developer material and fuser unit) and replace
them, if necessary.
• When replacing any consumable, use steps (a) to (c) below.
(a) Enter PM support mode. Reset the counter corresponding to the replaced consumable part to "0."
* For further information regarding PM support mode, refer to the Service Handbook.
(b) Enter adjustment mode [05]. Select code [396]. Press the [START] button.

(c) Perform the automatic calibration.
* For further information regarding the procedures, refer to procedure (2) in 1.1 To Obtain a Darker
Image.
* After replacing any consumable, remember to reset the counter corresponding to it to "0." Otherwise, it
may cause a loss in copier performance, including degradation in the image quality and reduction in the
life of the consumables.
* While replacing any consumable, also check the slit glass in the laser optical unit, and thoroughly clean it,
if it is soiled.
Cautions after the completion of the adjustment
Nothing in particular.
Remarks
• Enter the value mentioned in the procedures or one within the recommended value range for the adjustment.
Otherwise, it may cause a loss in copier performance, including degradation in the image quality and reduction
in the life of the consumables.
• The desired image quality may not be obtained, depending on the type of paper used. In this case, use the
recommended paper and then print or adjust the image quality.
• If printing on another type of paper causes a problem with the image quality after the adjustment, return the set
values (for 05-234 to 239) to the default (set value: 5) and then perform the adjustment again.
• The adjustment will make up for the gap in the image quality and density between the front and back of the
paper in duplex copying/printing. Particularly, if the image on the back is lighter than on the front, the image
quality may be improved by increasing the set value for the transfer roller bias output.
• When replacing any consumable, refer to the relevant information in the Service Manual and Service Handbook.
