When the main switch is turned on, the CPU turns on the fusing lamp using the soft start process. (The soft start process prevents the room lights from flickering.) The lamp stays on until the thermistor detects the standby temperature. Then the CPU maintains this temperature using on-off control. To start printing, the CPU raises the temperature to the printing temperature.
The fusing temperature for each condition is as follows:
| Condition | Temperature (degree) |
|---|---|
| Standby | 155 |
Energy saver mode 1 (Low power) | 120 |
| Energy saver mode 2 | Ambient temperature |
| Plain paper | 175 |
| Thick 1 paper | 185 |
| Thick 2 paper | 185 |
| Thin paper | 170 |
| Envelopes | 185 |
| Postcards | 185 |
| Recycled | 170 |
The fusing temperature for each condition (except “Energy saver mode 2”) can be adjusted with “Fusing Unit Temperature” in the “Maintenance Mode (SP menu)".
