● Special Controls
This machine has the following sequences as the special sequence.
Black Band Sequence
Solid black band
Black Band Sequence
Control timing: If the travel distance of the drum or the ITB has exceeded the designated
value
If you perform continuous printing while toner is not being fed to the Drum Cleaning Blade
and ITB Cleaning Blade, the cleaning blades may become warped.
Toner (solid image of each color, width: full width of the developing area, length: 20 mm)
is therefore transferred onto the drum and ITB to supply toner to the Drum Cleaning Blade
and ITB Cleaning Blade.
Developing Discharge Sequence
Control timing: When the average image ratio per sheet reaches 2% or less
Developing performance can decrease when performing continuous printing with low image
ratio. To prevent this error, the average image ratio for each color is calculated with the ATR
control and adequate amount of toner based on the calculation (width = A4, length = a solid
color band according to the deteriorated toner amount) is transferred to the ITB.
