4. Install the fixing film
Caution:
1. The fixing film must be installed with the cor-
rect orientation (front, rear). Orient it so that
the end with a semi-transparent side is at the
rear (i.e., insert the film with the semi-trans-
parent end first).
2. Do not touch the surface of the fixing film or
the fixing heater.

4) Check that the position of the fixing film is
aligned with the heater stay in step 2; if there
is a discrepancy, make adjustments so that the
edge of the fixing film and the middle index
mark on the heater stay match.
5) Remove the pressure releasing tool (front and
rear).
6) Install the pressure cam (Figure 2-11).
7) Install the harness guide with three screws
(Figure 2-10).

Refer to Figure 2-25 (Service mode screen), when making checks and adjustments outlined in
Note 1 and Note 2 below.
Note 1
You may end the adjustment if RUNNING display (2) is OK at the end of T-ROLLER FIX (1).
If NG, on the other hand, use the value under CW and CCW indicated to the right of FILM
SPEED (3).
CW : clockwise
CCW : counterclockwise
Note 2
According to the numbers under CW and CCW indicated to the right of FILM SPEED (3), turn
the white screw (Figure 2-26) for the numbers. (The number represents the number of clicks on
the white screw.)
EX. 1 If the number in parentheses under FILM SPEED (3) is 5, turn the white screw
clockwise for five clicks (Figure 2-26).
EX. 2 If the number in parentheses under FILM SPEED (3) is 4, turn the white screw
clockwise for four clicks.
