• The fixing motor drive speed is controlled as follows by detecting the paper loop between transfer roller and fixing roller withthe loop sensor.1. The fixing motor drive speed is reduced by 3.1% when the reading edge of paper is fed 35mm from the transfer roller.The reduced speed is kept until the loop sensor is turned on by the formed paper loop.2. After detecting the ON condition of the loop sensor for 50 msec continuously, the fixing motor drive speed is increasedby 0.8% compared with the process speed. The increased speed is kept until the loop sensor is turned off by the deletedpaper loop.3. After detecting the OFF condition of the loop sensor for 50 msec continuously, the fixing motor drive speed is reducedby 3.1% compared with the process speed. The reduced speed is kept until the loop sensor is turned on by the formedpaper loop.4. Repeat steps 2) and 3). The fixing motor drive speed is increased by 0.8% compared with the process speed when thetrailing edge of paper reaches 65 mm before coming out of the registration roller.5. When continuously making prints, return to step 1). When making a single print, shift to the last rotation.■ Protection featuresCode Description Error ClearE000 Fixing temperature abnormal rise0001 The temperature detected by the main thermistor does not rise to the specified value during startupcontrol.YesE001 Fixing unit temperature rise detection0000 The reading of the main thermistor is 250 deg C or more continuously for 200 msec.
