separation corona mode. The voltage control mode for the separation corona. You can adjust the mode on the printer’s density gauge to resolve print quality problems by choosing voltage control on, off, or on or off in response to the environment. See also density control panel, density gauge, separation voltage.
separation voltage. The ac corona charges applied in the separation charging unit to prevent image distortion in
