Specification change

1

Improvement of the cleaning

failure of the intermediate
transfer unit

The followings changes were made in order to improve the cleaning
function by reviewing the use count and the timing to impress the cleaning
voltage.

1) The initial settings of the voltage for the intermediate transfer cleaning
were changed. Also, the function was added to reset the setting value
after 20K.

The voltage control shifts to the value for over 20K although the value
indicated on the panel at the maintenance mode U107 remains
unchanged after the count exceeds 20K.

2) The timing to turn the brush motor ON was changed to delay it by
150msec later than to turn ON the cleaning voltage since the cleaning
voltage may not be output due to the friction electrical current at
turning ON the cleaning voltage and the brush motor at the same
time.

Measures against the release
failure of the monochrome mode
when the color toners are empty

Conventionally, the 4 color mode was switched to the monochrome mode
after detecting the color toner empty, there was no trigger to release the
monochrome mode setting demanded by unexpected cause. Therefore,
the following change was made.
[Change]
The change was made so that the monochrome mode can be released if
none of the three color toners is empty when turning the main power ON or
recovering from the sleep mode.
* When the monochrome mode cannot be released even after replacing
the color toner, it can be released by turning the main power OFF and ON
with this firmware.
