Automatic drum surface refreshing
Description
The drum surface refreshing operation is normally performed when the power is turned on to
the printer or during warm-up when the printer is recovering from the Sleep mode, but even
then only at those times that the temperature/humidity sensor detects the drum surface to be
in a state of dew condensation. By using this mode, it is possible to force the drum surface
refreshing operation to be performed automatically at a predetermined period of time,
regardless of the status detected by the temperature/humidity sensor.
