• The temperature control mode selected when temperature control is resumed (when the
power is turned ON, the front door is opened and closed, or the pause mode is cancelled) is
determined by the mode set before the interruption and the fuser temperature.
• In the pause (low power consumption) mode, the fusing roll heat lamp is turned OFF to
reduce power consumption.
Temperature control mode
During a print cycle, the fuser temperature is regulated in accordance with the elapsed
time since the completion of the warm-up cycle.
• Mode 1
Mode 1 lasts for 5 min. If, however, mode 1 is interrupted in mid-operation and the thermistor
temperature is 50°C (122°F) or more, the timer count before the interruption continues. When
mode 1 is completed, mode 2 starts.
• Mode 2
Mode 2 lasts for 208 sec. During this period, the fuser temperature is gradually decreased
and, when it is decreased to the fuser temperature of mode 3, mode 2 is terminated and
mode 3 is started.
• Mode 3
Mode 3 continues until the temperature control is interrupted (as by opening and closing the
Front Door, etc.).
