Dehumidification heater control

• The dehumidification heater is installed in the bottom of the paper feed cabinet.
• When energized, the dehumidification heater generates heat to dehumidify the inside of
the tray and the machine. By dehumidifying, the dehumidification heater prevents the
paper stack loaded in the tray from becoming damp.
• The dehumidification heater is energized when the dehumidification heater switch
located at the back of the cabinet is turned ON.
• When the dehumidification heater switch is ON, the dehumidification heater is energized
as long as the PC motor remains deenergized (in the standby state; for details, see the
table below).
• When the color PC motor is running (during a print cycle), the dehumidification heater is
turned OFF to reduce power consumption.
• When the photo conductor small amount rotation control is activated and the color PC
motor runs only for a short time, the dehumidification heater is not turned OFF/ON.
