11. Adjusting the Lower Fixing Roller
Pressure (nip)
If you have replaced the upper fixing
roller or the lower fixing roller, or fixing faults
occur, make adjustments as follows:
If you are taking measurements when the
fixing roller is cold, wait 15 min after the end
of the wait period, make 20 copies, and then
take measurements.
Taking Measurements
1) Make a single A3 solid black copy, and
feed the output into the multifeeder to
make a solid black copy. Then, set the
resulting output in the multifeeder. (The
output carries two layers of toner.)
2) Select NIP-CHK in service mode
(FUNCTION>FIXING); then, press the
OK key.
3) Check to see that the copier automatically
makes a soiled black copy and delivers it.
4) Measure the area of the copy where the
toner is shiny.
