Fusing Temperature Control
A : Stop (machine idle)
B : Start up
C : Ready (Standby)
D : Printing (paper feeding)
C : Ready (Standby)
E : Energy Save Mode 1 (Default: Machine idle 30 s)
F : Energy Save Mode 2 (Default: Machine idle for 60 s)
G : Recover from energy save mode
C : Ready (Standby)
After a cold start at "A" the fusing lamp inside the hot roller switches on.
At "B" the hot roller and pressure roller start to idle so the heat from the fusing lamp is transferred
and distributed evenly over the surfaces of these rollers. Once the rollers reach the reload
temperature, the machine can start printing.
Once the hot roller reaches the standby temperature at "C" the machine is ready to start printing.
Fusing temperature control keeps the hot roller temperature constant during a print job at "D".
Once the job is finished, the machine returns to standby mode "C" and is ready to start the next
job as soon as it is received.
If a new job is received within 30 sec. the machine starts the new job immediately. If a new job is
not received within 30 sec., the machine enters Energy Save Mode 1 at "E".
If a new is received within 60 sec. the machine recovers rapidly and starts printing. If a new job is
not received within 60 sec. while the machine is in Energy Save Mode 1, the machine enters
Energy Save Mode 2. This mode conserves power consumption while the printer remains idle.
Notes:
¾
Energy Save Mode 1.
The machine enters this low power mode if machine remains idle
for more than 30 sec. Recovery time is shorter, but machine consumes more power while
in energy save mode. This setting is not adjustable.
¾
Energy Save Mode 2.
The machine enters this mode after the machine remains idle for 60
sec. (This default setting can be adjusted by the operator with User Tools ([1 to 2401/1
min.]. Recovery time is longer, but the machine consumes less power while in energy save
mode.
