21-6. Cleaning Web Take-Up Mechanism/Control
•
The Cleaning Web wound around the Web Roller is taken up by the Web
Take-Up Roller which is driven by Cleaning Web Drive Motor M16.
•
M16 is turned about one turn in every ten copy cycles.
*
The length of the Cleaning Web taken up per one revolution of M16
varies depending on the amount of Cleaning Web which has already
been taken up. That is, in the beginnings of a new roll of Cleaning Web,
a shorter length of web is taken up per one revolution of M16, as there is
a very little amount of web taken up by the Web Take-Up Roller. (This is
self-explanatory when you imagine how small the diameter of the Web
Take-Up Roller with a web wound around it is.) The more the web is
taken up, the longer the length of web taken up.
•
The Web Take-Up Roller Shaft is provided with a Clutch Spring that
prevents the roller from turning backward, thereby preventing the Cleaning
Web from developing slack or wrinkling during take-up.
•
On the right side at the front of the Fusing Unit, there is a gauge provided
showing an approximate amount of Cleaning Web still available for use. It
eliminates the need of removing the Cleaning Web Assy to check for the
amount of web. The replacement time of the Cleaning Web may also be
known using the Tech. Rep. mode. ("Tech. Rep. Mode Menu" → "Counter"
→ "Consumables" → the count of "Web Roller")
When the count of Web Roller reaches the setting (replacement cycle
200K), the copier gives the maintenance call message on the Touch Panel.
If copy cycles are run after the message has appeared and when 10,000
additional copies have been made, the copier inhibits the initiation of a new
copy cycle. (For details, see SWITCHES ON PWBs.)
