User Adjustment for Envelopes The user can change the fusing pressure with the envelope lever [A]. Less pressure is needed for envelopes, which are thicker than normal paper.

  • Page 81: New Fusing Unit Detection

    SH-P1 Training New Fusing Unit Detection In a new fusing unit, the looped wire on the fusing unit connector contains a fuse [A]. When power is switched on after installing a new fusing unit, the engine board detects the fusing unit through the looped wire. However, the fuse opens very shortly afterwards.

  • Page 82: Fusing Temperature Control

    SH-P1 Training Fusing Temperature Control When the main switch turns on, the CPU turns on the fusing lamp using the soft start process. (The soft start process prevents the room lights from flickering.) The lamp stays on until the thermistor detects the standby temperature.

  • Page 83: Overheat Protection

    SH-P1 Training Overheat Protection If the hot roller temperature becomes greater than 235°C, the CPU cuts off the power to the fusing lamp. At this time, SC543 will be generated. If the thermistor overheat protection fails, there are thermostats in series with the common ground line of the fusing lamp.

  • Page 84: Energy Saver Mode

    SH-P1 Training Energy Saver Mode When the machine is not being used, the energy saver feature reduces power consumption by switching off the fusing lamp.
