Loop control
The product controls the loop of paper to prevent print-quality and paper-feed defects.
If the fuser film/pressure roller rotates slower than the photosensitive drum/transfer roller, the
●
paper loop increases.
If the fuser film/pressure roller rotates faster than the photosensitive drum/transfer roller, the paper
●
loop decreases.
The DC controller detects the loop amount by monitoring the loop sensor and controls the rotational
speed of the fuser motor.
