Wind the end with the ring [C] clockwise (shown from the machine’s front) three times; wind the ball end [A] clockwise (shown from the machine’s front) five times.
The two red marks [D] should meet when you have done this.
Stick the wire to the pulley with tape, so you can easily handle the pulley and wire during installation.
Install the drive pulley on the shaft.
Do not screw the pulley onto the shaft yet.
Install the wire.
The winding of the wire on the three pulleys at the rear of the scanner should be the same as the winding on the three pulleys at the front. This must show as a mirror image. Example: At the front of the machine, the side of the drive pulley with the three windings must face the front of the machine. At the rear of the machine, it must face the rear.
Perform steps 8 through 13 in “Reassembling the Front Scanner Wire”.
After replacing the scanner wire, do the image adjustments in the following section of the manual "Scanning" in "Copy Adjustments: Printing/Scanning").
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine before attempting any of the procedures in this section. Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.

To avoid damaging the LD board, hold it securely when disconnecting the connectors. Hold the laser unit casing.
After replacing the LD board, do the "Laser Beam Pitch Adjustment" (described in the following section). Keep the lower inner cover removed before doing this adjustment because you need to adjust the adjustor screw [D] on the LD unit with a screwdriver.
Install a (new) LD unit [A] with the left side of the LD unit being lower than the right side. (This makes this adjustment easier.)
Print the test pattern "Hounds Tooth Check (2-Dot Horizontal)" (No. 16 in SP2109-001).
Check if the vertical stripes appear on the second pattern (counted from the leading edge) of the printout.
Correct: No vertical stripes appear (see the sample following this procedure.)
Wrong: Vertical stripes appear (see the sample following this procedure.)
Turn the adjustor screw [B] by 90 degrees clockwise (counterclockwise).
If the image of the printout is getting worse, try reverse rotation (clockwise counterclockwise)
Print the test pattern and check it out.
Try steps 2 to 4 again until you get an image with no vertical stripes.
Reassemble the machine after completing this adjustment.
