CHAPTER 2 STANDARDS AND ADJUSTMENTS
2-34
Caution:
1. Turn VR2 slowly while monitoring the output of the laser power checker so as to avoid
increasing the laser power excessively. Turning VR2 counterclockwise will decrease the
laser output.
2. Be sure not to exceed the value recorded on the label. Otherwise, the laser diode may
become damaged.
3. Do NOT press the Copy Start key while making adjustments using VR2.
13) Press the Stop key to stop the laser output.

stop the laser output, press the Stop key.
4) Select T-V00, and adjust T-V00 so that the following is true: offset value + (0.15 to 0.20 mV)
5) Likewise, adjust T-VFF, PE-V00, P3-VFF-1, P3-VFF-2, P3-VFF-3, and P3-VFF-4. To stop
the laser output, press the Stop key. Study the following table for an idea of optimum output.
