Cause
Cause 1
When the paper type/thickness differs, wait time occurs because the fusing nip unit is depressurized and adjustment is performed to the specified fusing temperature. This wait time results in decreased productivity. (In this case, the wait time is the time until entering the permissible temperature range for paper feeding.)
Cause 2
The amount of toner deposit is controlled for each type/thickness of paper. Wait time occurs because it is necessary to reduce/increase imaging via changeover of imaging electric potential. This wait time results in decreased productivity. (In this case, the wait time is always about 3 seconds, which is the time required to reduce/increase imaging.)
