While the image creation thermistor (TH5) installed in the machine monitors temperature, development duty control is conducted as shown below.
| Status | Normal printing | STEP1 | STEP2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature (T) | T<40°C | 40°C≤T<41°C | 41°C≤T |
| Machine operation | Normal printing | Pause every 30 sec., print 14 sheets. | Printing halts. |
| Fans operation | Print Mode | All fans: High rotate (100%) | All fans: High rotate (100%) |
| >Cancellation condition | - | The machine shifts to normal operation when the thermistor detects less than 39°C. | The machine shifts to STEP1 when the thermistor detects less than 40°C. |
STEP1 Image creation thermistor (TH5) detects 40°C (104°F).
Until the temperature of the development unit drops 1°C, the operation will pause every 30 sec., print 14 sheets, and then repeat.
While printing is halted, a message is displayed on the operation panel.
The machine shifts to normal operation after the temperature drops by 1°C.
STEP 2: Image creation thermistor (TH5) detects 41°C (106°F).
Printing halts. Operation shifts to STEP 1 above once temperature drop 1°C.
A message is displayed on the operation panel while the machine is halted.
This message remains displayed along with a counter showing how much time remains until printing resumes.
If the machine frequently shifts to STEP 2, the filters may be clogged. Check the condition of the filters.
