● After tension adjustment in the steps mentioned above (See P13), current value should be as shown in the right table.
・After transfer belt and MDR for belt transfer replacement, make sure there

is no interference and do running test. After running test, check tension
according to the belt tension reference mentioned above.
・ Too strong tension of transfer belt may cause a malfunction because
overload is applied to MDR for belt transfer. On the other hand too loose
tension may cause decrease transfer belt’s speed.
・ The check position of belt tension depends on the plate attaching position.
