9.2 Various Control Mechanisms
9.2.1 Controlling the Fixing Temperature
9.2.1.1 Overview

Temperature control of the fixing heater is done by using the main thermistor, which is in contact with the centre part of the heater, to detect temperature. Sub-
thermistors 1 and 2, which contact the ends of the film, are there to detect temperature rises at the ends of the fixing film, which happen when small size paper (A4R,
etc.) is being fed continuously.
9.2.1.2 Temperature control in standby

The purpose of this function is to reduce the time required for the first print by pre-heating the fixing unit in standby, according to prescribed conditions.
