2-24 Phaser 5500 Printer Service Manual
The Warm-up delay begins when printer power is applied, the interlocks are closed, a
jam is cleared, or returning from Low Power mode. Warm-up ends when the Ready
temperature is attained, when a failure occurs, or when executing diagnostic tests.
The Fuser enters a temperature stabilization process under two circumstances:
â– When printing on thick paper:
After 50 sheets of continuous printing on thick paper (Thick Paper Mode 1), the
Fuser lamp turns off, the Main Motor stops, and the fans rotate at full speed until
the temperature drops. The process for Thick Paper Mode 2 is the same, except
that it occurs after 30 sheets of continuous printing.
â– When an abnormally high temperature is detected:
When an abnormally high temperature is detected, the printer stops the print job
and enters the following cool-down process, which continues until the target
Control Temperature is reached.
