Separation

Voltage

Designation

This feature allows you to override the printer sensing system and force

the separation discharge assembly on or off. Forcing-on is intended as

a fail-safe in low temperature/low humidity conditions where paper is

not properly separating from the transfer drum, and as a countermea-

sure in some image-offset problems. Forcing-off is a countermeasure

against toner displacement.

The separation voltage designation is nonpersistent. After restart, the

designation will revert to automatic. To designate the separation

voltage,

1 Hold down the

COLOR SELECT button and press the ENTER button

three times. The yellow and black toner lights will ﬂash to indicate that

you are in the separation voltage designation mode.

2 Using the plus or minus buttons, advance the density gauge to illumi-

nate the LED corresponding to the desired designation. The density

gauge will ﬂash whenever the selected setting differs from the previ-

ously entered setting. Only LEDs 4, 5, and 6 on the density gauge

correspond to available designations.

3 Press the

ENTER button to engage the setting.
