The following features help the machine run as silently as possible.
Silent Mode
Printer model: [Menu] > [System] > [Silent Mode]
MF model: Home > [User Tools] icon > [Machine Features] > [System Settings] > [General Features] > [Silent Mode]
Silent mode decreases the noise level by increasing the interval between sheets and scanning speed (printing is slower).
| CPM | Scanning speed | Fusing Temp. (Normal paper) | Noise level | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard mode | 43 ppm | 40 ipm | Center: 178 °C | Main machine only: 51.9 dB Full*: 55.1 dB |
| Silent mode | 30 ppm | 20 ipm | Center: 165 °C | Main machine only: 48.2 dB |
*: Main machine + Paper Bank x3 (options)
If [On] is selected in silent mode, the message "Operating in silent mode..." is displayed on the operation panel.
New Lubricant to Reduce Noise When the Main Unit Is Operating
Grease with a high-silencing effect (G-1077) is applied to the drive components. When replacing one of these components, apply this grease as described in the replacement procedures.
Features of G-1077
- Low coefficient of friction
- Very stable, due to low oil separation
