Fusing temperature control
• The surface temperature of the heating roller and the fusing pressure roller are detected
to control the amount of the heat of the IH heater and the fusing pressure roller heater
lamp in the soaking roller in order to maintain the appropriate fusing temperature.
Example: C550 temperature control (Plain paper)
