 1. Color reproduction when copying cloth

【Symptom】
When copying cloth as an original, the printed color becomes reddish.

【Cause】
This symptom occurs when a specific cloth is used.
When a specific type of cloth that reflects infrared rays is used, the infrared area will be
read as more reddish than the original.

【Countermeasure】
There is no countermeasure on this series.
In order to improve this symptom, it is necessary to change the lens to a type that has
the ability to cut the infrared rays. The parameter of the image processing also needs to
be modified.

 7. Gradation Adjustment (1/2)
【Symptom】
FEET (rear edge side) of gradation adjustment output looks abnormal. It is different with
color tone or gradation adjustment.

【Cause】
FEET gradation adjustment is the image processing mainly applied to the edge parts of
letters. It is comparably difficult to converge the targeted gradation as this mode has
less gradation steps. So this image is specification.

【Action in the field】

Basically you do not need to worry about the convergence value for the gradation
adjustment of FEET. However, if the gradation adjustment falls a long way outside of the
following range, you must conduct a gradation adjustment again after performing
“Initialization and Stabilization”.
Convergence at high density part within +/- 100
Convergence at low density part within +/- 60

 26. Stapling failure with FS-529 (1) (1/2)
【Symptom】
Output paper can not be stapled with the correct position because the paper skew occurs when
the paper is returned to the collecting position when stapling.

【Cause】
The cause is the deformation of the mylar (A0U7-PP9S-00) on holder. The friction between belt
and paper decrease by the deformation of the mylar. Accordingly, the power balance between
front side and rear side of pulling back paper is disordered. As a result, paper don't align.

 35. Wrong Booklet Tray Full Detection on SD-509 (1/2)
【Symptom】
There is a possibility that the machine stops and displays the Tray Full warning
when only a few booklets have exited. This could happen when low stiffness
paper is used for the booklet and it is made up with only a few sheets of paper.

【Cause】
If the above mentioned booklet can not push up the arm on the booklet tray
(Lever/1), the booklet stops at the end of the arm and the trail edge of it can not
fully exit. This trail edge activates the tray full sensor and the machine stops and
displays the tray full warning.

 52. Noise from DCPU
【Symptom】
When waiting for printing (or at idle), a noise comes from the DCPU.
This noise is created when controlling the fuser temperature, and comes from the coil section of
the noise filter.

【Cause】
From the C353 series, the function which controls the fusing heater when “heat ON/OFF”, “wake
up/down” smoothly was added.
When this function works, the sound occurs by resonating the coils.

【Countermeasure】
Prepare the countermeasure firmware which does NOT smoothly work the control for the fusing
heater to improve the sound.
For the future plan, this controlling of the fusing heater can be switched by a Soft Switch.

【Action in the field】

Between both "clicks" the time is only around one second.
【Cause】
The socket pins of PJ05 (especially Pin1 5V) are touching the metal frame and so the 5V line is shorted to
ground.
The reason was because an angle of the metal frame was bent towards the down side.

【Countermeasure】
A mylar sheet was added on the metal frame
under the PWB area.
This has been applied on the production line
