1.

Select the load to be checked with the 10-key, and press the
[START] key.

The motor for 10sec, the solenoid ON for 500msec, OFF for 500msec.
(20 times)

When the [SYSTEM SETTINGS] is pressed, the operation is interrupted.

The lift-up motor operates only when the tray is opened.

The lift-up motor operates only when the tray is opened.

Select the load to be checked with the 10-key, and press the [START] key. 
The selected load is operated for 10sec.

1.

Select the load to be set with the 10-key.

2.

Press the [START] key.

When selected without setup, the selected value is registered and
highlighted. When selected with previous setup, the previous setup is
canceled and it is displayed normally.

Press [CA] key, and the simulation will be terminated and the machine
goes into the aging standby mode with the set content.

This setting is canceled by power OFF.

*1: When the machine exits from the fusing ignoring state, the roller may

be cooled down. Therefore, reset the machine to warm up again.
When, therefore, the simulation is canceled by pressing the [CA]
key or when the copy mode display is shifted to the initial menu dis-
play in the simulation mode of one page copy, the machine is reset.

Note: In SIM 7-1, pressing [CA] key terminates the simulation and the

machine enters the aging mode without resetting. Therefore, to
perform “4. Intermittent setup,” the intermittent cycle must be set
with SIM 7-6 in advance.
Reset is not performed when the machine enters the aging mode.

1.

Enter the interval aging cycle time (sec) with the 10-key pad. 
Refer to SIM 7-1.

2.

Press the [START] key.

When the [START] key is pressed in aging, copying is performed con-
tinuously. This simulation is used to set the time interval between copy
operations in the unit of second.

This setting is valid when SIM 7-1 (Intermittent setting) is enabled.
