3.10.8 NIP BAND WIDTH ADJUSTMENT

Perform this adjustment when the fusing unit is at its operating temperature. The size of the

OHP sheet must be A4/LT LEF. Any other sizes may cause a paper jam.

[A]: Pressure roller

[B]: Hot roller

Place an OHP sheet on the by-pass feed table.

Enter SP mode, and run SP 1109.

Press '1' (Yes)

twice. The machine feeds the OHP sheet into the fusing section, stops it

there for 20 seconds, then ejects it to the copy tray.

Quit the SP mode.

Check that the nip band (the opaque stripe) across the ejected OHP sheet is

symmetrical, with both ends slightly thicker than the center.

There is no standard value for the nip band on this machine. Make the

adjustment based on the band's appearance.

If the band is not as described above, change the position of the spring hooks [C] (one

on each side), and then check the band again.

The higher hook position produces greater tension.
