Erase Cycle
The printer immediately interrupts a print cycle whenever the Cover Assy Front or Cover Rear are opened,
there is a paper jam, a Paper Cassette is removed, or the printer power is switched off. When you remove
the cause of the print cycle interruption, such as closing the covers, clearing the paper jam, reinstalling the
Paper Cassette, or switching on printer power, the printer runs an Erase Cycle before continuing with the
next print cycle.
During an Erase Cycle, the printer switches on the Motor Assy Main and the CR (AC and DC), BTR(-), and
DB (DC) voltages. The Erase Cycle removes any developed image (toner) on the drum, and any latent
image (electrical) on the drum. When the Erase Cycle finishes, the printer returns to normal mode and is
ready to resume printing.
