Fuser temperature control
The fuser temperature control detects the temperature of the fuser heater surface, and then controls the
FUSER HEATER DRIVE (FSRD1) signal to the fuser heater until the fuser heater temperature reaches the
target temperature.
The DC controller controls the FSRD1 signal by monitoring the detected fuser heater temperature—using
the thermistor (TH3)—and then holds the heater at the target temperature.
