VII. MEASUREMENT AND ADJUSTMENT
A. Mechanical Adjustment
1. Checking the nip width of the pressure roller
The fixing unit is not designed to allow adjustment of the pressure (nip width); however, the
incorrect nip width can cause fixing problems.
Follow the procedures below to check the nip width:
1) Make an all-black print of A4 size using an EP-22 cartridge, and bring the print to the cus-
tomer’s site.
2) Place the all-black print in the multi-purpose tray of the printer, with the printed side facing
down.
3) Select face-up delivery by shifting the delivery switching lever downward.
4) Press the test print switch.
5) Turn OFF the printer when the leading edge of the print emerges at the face-up tray. Open
the top cover and take out the print about 10 seconds later.
6) Measure the width of the glossy band across the paper and check that it meets the require-
ments as shown in Figure 4-10-1.
