3.1.8 Others
In winter, bringing a machine from a cold to warm place can cause condensation inside
the machine, leading to various problems.
Memo
1) Condensation in the CS unit will generate darker images.
2) Condensation in the charging system will cause electrical leakage.
3) Condensation on the pickup/feed guide can cause paper feeding faults.
If condensation has developed, dry wipe the part, or leave the machine
alone and powered for 60 min.
