2. LDU [A] 
Color Registration Adjustment 
 
  You must manually perform the color registration adjustment after you install the 
new LDU.   
  When the polygon mirror motor or LDB unit is defective, only replace the defective 
parts. At this time, if only the motor is changed, it is not necessary to do this 
adjustment procedure. 
1.  Print the SMC report with SP 5990 2 before you replace the LDU. Find the values 
for SP 2181 1, SP 2181 11, 2181 21, and 2181 31. 
2.  Perform SP 2111 2 (Pro. Position Adj > Execute) to roughly adjust the line 
position after you install the new LDU. “Result = OK” shows on the LCD if this is 
done correctly. If not, do it again until you get “OK”. 
3.  Perform SP2111 3 (Skew Adjust. > Execute) to measure the skew values for each 
color. “Result = OK” shows on the LCD if this is done correctly. If not, do it again 
until you get “OK”. 
4.  Check the skew values with SP 2181: Then write down the values. (You can also 
check these if you print the SMC report again with SP 5990 2. The values will 
probably be different from the values on the report that you printed in step 1.) 
  SP 2181 1 for black skew 
  SP 2181 11 for magenta 
  SP 2181 21 for cyan 
  SP 2181 31 for yellow
