Fusing Temperature Control: Temperature Feedback During - Ricoh B286 Service Manual

Fusing Unit
Note:
If the target pressure roller temperature is set for 65°C, inching with rotation of the pressure
roller and hot roller starts, then the copy ready temperature is set when both temperatures
at and are reached.

Fusing Temperature Control: Temperature Feedback During Copying
This machine uses the feedback of the hot roller thermistor and two pressure roller
thermistors, one at the center and one at the end of the pressure roller, to control the fusing
temperature. The SP codes settings shown in the tables and illustrations below determine
how fusing temperature is controlled for the paper thickness modes (Mode 1 to 5) for each
type of paper.
Here is a quick summary of the SP codes that are used to maintain optimum fusing
temperature.
! These SP codes are set at the factory and normally should not require adjustment
in the field.
