Adjusting the Tension of the Scanner Drive Cable
Move the mirror 1 mount to the home position (start position). As shown in Figure 2-10, pull at

each other. If the reading on the spring balance is not about 1.0 ±0.5 kg, loosen the screws [B] of
Figure 2-9, turn screw [A] to achieve this reading, and then tighten the screws [B].
