[4] Fixing Temperature Control
AC(H)
AC(C)
The fixing upper roller is heated by L2 (fixing upper
roller heater lamp 1) and L3 (fixing upper roller heater
lamp 2) and the fixing lower roller is heated by L4 (fixing
heat roller heater lamp 3) via the fixing heat roller. The
PRCB (printer control board) detects the temperature
of the fixing rollers using TH1 (fixing unit temperature
sensor 1) and controls L2, L3, L4 via the ACDB (AC
drive board).
1. Operation
a.
Temperature control
The PRCB turns ON the fixing heater lamp circuit
in ACDB as soon as the main switch is turned
ON, causing L2, L3, and L4 to go ON until the fix-
ing upper roller reaches the specified tempera-
ture.
Series/parallel
