Note To adjust the ADF open/closed switch (MS1) 1 Remove the ADF body cover (upper). (See "Removing the body cover" on page 380.) 2 Open and close the ADF and adjust the retaining plate (callout 1) so that the ADF switch MS1 (callout 2) turns on and off when the distance from the copyboard glass (callout 3) to the end of the ADF (callout 4) is between 10 and 100 mm. When opening and closing the ADF, listen for the switch to audibly click at the point at which it actuates. 2 Figure 46. 21 Retaining plate adjustment 24 23 Figure 47. Measuring the distance from the copyboard glass to the ADF EN ADF adjustments 151
