1.13.3 Operation
(1) Fusing speed correction
(a) Fusing loop control
• To prevent double transferred images and brush effects that occur due to a difference in speed between paper transport during image
transfer and fusing, a loop is formed in the paper between the 2nd transfer and fusing sections.
• The fusing loop sensor detects the length of the loop formed in the paper between the 2nd transfer section and the fusing roller.
• The fusing motor increases or decreases the fusing speed according to the length of loop in the paper, thereby ensuring that the length
of loop falls within a predetermined range.

Operation timing
• It starts controlling when the front-edge of the paper reaches to the predetermined position before the fusing roller.
• The fusing speed is decelerated so that a loop is formed in the paper between the 2nd transfer roller and the fusing roller.
• When the paper loop amount is large, the fusing loop sensor is unblocked, and the fusing speed is increased.
• When the paper loop amount is small, the fusing loop sensor is blocked, and the fusing speed is decreased.
• The fusing speed is increased or decreased as necessary to make sure that the paper loop amount falls within a predetermined range,
thereby absorbing a difference between the fusing speed and image transfer speed.
• The fusing loop control will finish after the trailing of the paper passes the 2nd transfer roller.
Fusing speed adjustment
• If double transferred images or brush effects occur due to inadequate paper loop before fusing, adjust the fusing speed using [Service
Mode] -> [Machine] -> [Fusing Transport Speed].
(2) Fusing belt deformation prevention control
• The fusing belt is rotated to prevent the fusing belt from remaining placed on the same side for long periods of time, preventing
deformation.
• Prevents uneven gloss due to fusing belt deformation.
(a) Specific controls
• Select Mode 2 in the Service Mode settings to enable the fusing belt deformation prevention control.
• Configured from [Service Mode] -> [System 2] -> [Fuser roll deform].
