1. Cleaning page sequence
This printer has the cleaning page sequence to remove dirt on the pressure roller in the fixing
unit. It is implemented by a command sent from the interface controller.
Receiving a cleaning page command from the interface controller, the engine controller picks
up a cleaning sheet. Then the engine controller step-drives the main motor, controls the fixing
heater to maintain a temperature of 175 °C, and feeds the sheet 7.5 mm at a time. This opera-
tion melts toner on the pressure roller onto the sheet, consequently the roller is cleaned.
Note:
When performing the cleaning page sequence, be sure to use paper with the width of
maximum of 216 mm and with the length of 279 mm or more as a cleaning sheet.
