2.2.3 Control at Time of Down Sequence
In continuous printing, the temperature of the area not in contact with paper as detected
by the sub thermistor can be abnormally high. To prevent overheating, the machine increases
the distance between sheets.
•
Down sequence is started when the reading of the sub thermistor is 210°C.
•
Down sequence is ended when continuous printing ends.
