Film unit engagement / disengagement control
To prevent deformation of the fixing film / pressure roller caused by heat and pressure when
the drive of pressure roller is stopped, and also to improve jam recovering performance, the
film unit is disengaged from the pressure roller under the following conditions:
Fixing pressure sensor (PS30)
Sensor flag
Fixing Motor
M21
Cam
Film unit
Pressure
plate
Pressure roller
Engaged
Execution conditions / timing
The film unit is disengaged when the power is
•
turned ON
•
At recovery from sleep mode
At recovery from jam removal
•
•
When the front cover/right cover is closed.
