OPERABILITY

Some improvements have been done for the operator.

Handling Paper Jams

The B132/B200 displayed only a message to alert the operator about a jam or double-feed.
The D014/D015 has a fully animated system to guide the operator step-by-step through jam
removal.

Easier Use of Paper Tray End Fence

With the B132/B200, the operator must push and hold down a side lever while moving the
end fence. With the D014/D015, the operator need only press the end fence slightly to move
it to the position for a standard paper size.

New Arrow Indicator on Side Fence Lever

An arrow indicator embossed on the side fence reminds the operator where to push to
release and move the side fence.

Image Quality Improvement

This section describes the changes that have been implemented to improve image quality
for the D014/D015.
ADOPTION OF SINGLE-DIRECTION DEVELOPER/TONER
SUPPLY
The adoption of the single-direction developer/toner supply method has resulted in the
following improvements.
Uniformity of Image Density
With the B132/B200, there are minor problems with images becoming faint (front to
back) because the agitator moves the toner front to back. There were variations of less
than 25% with the B132/B200, but this has been reduced to less than 15% with the
D014/D015. This reduction was made possible with the adoption of a one-direction
development system in the development units.
Stabilization of Image Quality
B132/B200 image quality shows some repeat density fluctuation (0.15), but this has
been reduced with the D014/D015. The improvement was achieved by using a
stable-density development system.
