<Detection Timing>
<Troubleshooting Procedures>
Description
• The voltage of the Thermistor remains low for a predetermined period of time when a
warm-up cycle is started.
• The temperature detected by the Thermistor remains lower than a reference value for a
predetermined period of time for the period of time that begins 5 sec. after, and ends 9
sec. after, the start of the warm-up cycle (where the temperature detected by the Ther-
mistor is 80 °C or less).
• The temperature detected by the Thermistor does not increase for a 3-sec. period or
more for the period of time that begins after the lapse of a predetermined period of time
after the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp has been turned ON and ends when the lamp is
turned OFF.
• The Fusing Roller Heater Lamp remains ON for a 30-sec. period or more (except during
the period through which the Main Motor remains energized).
