More on Reduced Copy Speed – Narrow Paper
The feature described on the previous slide shows how the machine prevents
the ends of the hot roller from getting too hot when copying using narrow-width
paper.
The feature on this slide prevents the centre of the roller from cooling down too
much when using narrow-width paper.
Paper removes heat from the roller
The temperature has been lowered, because of the feature explained on the
previous slide.
So, the temperature in the middle may drop too low, and fusing may not be
sufficient.
Because of all this, the copy speed is reduced so that paper does not cool down
the middle part of the roller too quickly.
After 180 seconds of continuous copying.
When Thick or Special paper mode is used.
When paper is fed from the by-pass tray.
