EPSON AcuLaser C1900/AcuLaser C900 Revision B
Operating Principles Image Stabilization Control 95
2.3.1  Execution Conditions for Image Stabilization 
Control (Only for AcuLaser C900)
EXECUTION TIMING FOR IMAGE STABILIZATION CONTROL
 At turning power on or recovery from sleep mode after printing of 1,000 sheets or 
more counted from the previous execution of image stabilization control
 Immediately after replacement of a toner cartridge, the Photoconductor Unit or 
intermediate transfer belt
 After clearing of the life counter following the replacement of the Fuser Unit
(The secondary transfer roller replaced simultaneously can affect image quality.)
 Forced execution of image stabilization control
 At turning power on if ambient conditions, such as humidity, are detected to have 
changed significantly compared with those at previous power turning on
AIDC CONTROL EXECUTION TIMING
At turning power on or recovery from sleep mode after printing of 200 sheets or more 
counted from the previous execution of AIDC control or image stabilization control
FORCED EXECUTION OF IMAGE STABILIZATION CONTROL
When proper result is not obtained by pixel depth correction control, the image stabilization 
control processing can be forcedly executed by the following procedure:
1. Make certain that the printer is not in “error” status, remove the paper from all the 
paper feeders.
2. Open and close one of the printer covers (Front, AB and DM). After completion of 
closing the cover, the image stabilization control will be executed.

CONCERNING AIDC CONTROL EXECUTION
Concerning AIDC control execution, AL-C900 is different from AcuLaser C1000 in the 
following points:
Table 2-7. “AcuLaser C900” Difference from AcuLaser C1000
AcuLaser C1000 AcuLaser C900
At turning power 
on
AIDC control is always executed 
at power on.
The previous control value has 
been stored and AIDC control is 
executed only when necessary.
At opening and 
closing cover
At opening and closing a cover 
except at occurrence of paper jam, 
AIDC control is always executed.
Control is executed only when a 
cover is opened and closed for 
replacement of consumable or 
forced execution of image 
stabilization control.
At recovery from 
sleep mode
Not executed AIDC control is executed 
depending on the number of 
printed sheets counted from the 
previous execution of control.
