Pro C5200S/C5210S only: By changing the transfer method (DC or AC) alternately, toner transfer to paper that has indentations is improved. You need to turn this feature on if you wish to use it. The way to turn it on is explained later.
A | Image Transfer Belt (ITB) |
B | Indentation (Paper Surface) |
Descriptions | Applied Current | |
|---|---|---|
1 | A portion of the toner is transferred. | DC |
2 | Toner returns and contacts the toner remaining on the ITB, which affects the attachment state of this toner. | AC |
3 | After the toner attachment state changes, the toner is more likely to be transferred. | DC |
This mechanism turns on in the following conditions shown below:
In Copy Mode
- The tray that is used is linked with a paper type registered in the paper library as requiring AC*.
In Printer Mode
- The tray that is used is linked with a paper type registered in the paper library as requiring AC*.
- The tray that is used is linked with a paper type registered in the paper library as requiring AC*. Then you use the driver to select a paper type that requires AC.
- With SP2-850-101 to 999, you can also turn on/off AC application for each paper thickness.
- But if AC is applied to a paper type that is registered as not requiring AC, problems such as vertical streaks may occur.
