11.4.4 Overheat Protection
There is an overheat protection circuit in the main board. If the hot roller
temperature reaches 230°C, the resistance of the thermistor (between
CN121-10 and CN121-11) becomes too low. If the main board detects this
condition, "E-53" lights on the operation panel and power to the fusing lamp
is cut.
Even if the thermistor overheat protection fails, the thermofuse opens when it
reaches 169°C, removing power from the fusing lamp.
