6.7 Controlling the Fixing Speed

To ensure good fixing, the machine controls the speed of the fixing motor (M9), thereby
switching the fixing speed among four settings:
Thin paper (64 to 79 g/m
Thick paper (106 to 163 g/m
Extra-thick paper (164 to 253 g/m
Transparency
When a transparency is used, the fixing speed is switched as follows to enable smooth in-
troduction of paper to the fixing nip:
Immediately before the leading edge of the transparency leaves the separation sensor
(PS15) and rushes into the fixing nip, the speed of the pre-fixing feed belt is switched from
338 to 68 mm/sec; thereafter, the previous speed is used immediately before the medium
reaches the pre-fixing feeding assembly.
