Pressure/retraction control during ACS mode
• The pressure/retraction of the 1st image transfer roller is controlled by the number of
multiple copies for the monochrome original during multi-copy cycle, so it promotes the
high productivity and extends the consumables’ life.
* ACS: Auto color selection
• The ACS mode does not function for the first copy and it functions for the second and
subsequent copies.
• The 1st image transfer roller/Y, M, C is pressed against the transfer belt when the roller is
in its default position.
A. General
• ACS control starts counting the number of multi-copies of the monochrome original when
switched from the color original to the monochrome original.
• When the number of multi-copies is as specified or under
: The monochrome printing will start with color mode. (with the 1st image transfer roller /
Y/M/C being pressed)
IU (Y/M/C) does not develop or transfer the image, but it rotates when the pressed
transfer belt rotates.
The transfer belt being pressed saves time since the 1st image transfer roller does not
need to be retracted.
• When the number of multi-copies is as specified or over.
: The monochrome printing will start when the color mode is complete and the 1st image
transfer roller /Y/M/C is retracted to be switched to the monochrome mode.
The transfer belt being retracted prevents IU to be wasted by useless rotation.
B. ACS control criteria
• Number of multiple copies of monochrome original when paper feed speed is 92 mm/s.
• Number of multiple copies of monochrome original when paper feed speed is 46 mm/s.
