3.2.4 ANTI-CONDENSATION HEATER

Before You Begin...

The anti-condensation heater has an ON/OFF switch on the back of the machine. When this
switch is on, the heaters prevent condensation from forming inside the machine when the main
machine is switched off with the main power switch or operation switch.
Always ask permission from the customer before you switch on the anti-condensation
heater.
In order to comply with new International Energy Star Standards, the anti-condensation heater
is switched off when the machine leaves the factory. Before you switch the anti-condensation
heater on, discuss these points with the customer:
The anti-condensation heater should be switched on to prevent condensation from forming
on the drum if the humidity at the work site is very high. Drum condensation can cause
image smearing and other problems.
If the machine remains off with the heater off for long periods under low-temperature
conditions (10°C (50°F) or lower), condensation can form on the drum surface after the
machine is turned on. This is especially true if the machine has been off overnight during
