Potential control
Potential control is as when the main power switch is turned on.
A series of charging operations is executed to
stabilize the potential of the drum.
To prevent stray toner, the developing bias
is turned off for non-image areas.

60 min
The charging characteristics are likely to have
stabilized at this point, and potential control will
not be executed after this point.
Potential control is executed 10 min and 60
min after the temperature of the fixing
assembly has reached 195˚C.
