8.

Others

During the winter months, bringing in a copier from a cold to warm place can cause condensa-
tion inside it, leading to various problems.
Reference:
a. Condensation on the scanner (glass, mirror, lens) tends to produce darker images.
b. Condensation on the charging system tends to produce leakage.
c. Condensation on the pickup or feeding guide plate tends to produce feeding faults.
If condensation is noted, dry wipe the part or leave the copier alone for 60 min.
Caution:
If the copies have uneven density (between front and rear), is too light, or is foggy, make
adjustments according to the Image Adjustment Basic Procedure before using the trouble-
shooting tables.
