Then do the two SP modes listed on the slide.
Do not attempt to make copies yet.
SP2801 (Developer Initial Setting)
This prepares the developer for copying by agitating it for about two
minutes, which brings the electrostatic charge on the developer to the
correct level.
SP2923 (Drum Set Mode)
Drum Set Mode coats the drum with toner.
Have a look at the drum; the end of the drum is shiny because
there is no toner coating, but the rest of the drum has a coating
of toner.
This toner coating acts like setting powder, to ensure that the cleaning
blade does not flip over when the drum starts to turn.
In a counter blade system, friction between the blade and the drum
can flip the blade over unless setting powder or a toner coating is
added.
At this point, the cleaning blade is still not in contact with the drum.
When shipped from the factory, the blade is away from the drum.
After drum set mode has finished, you have to move the cleaning
blade against the drum, which is its normal operating position.
