NOTE: When the thermoswitches reach this temperature, the actual temperature on the fuser
rollers is approximately 370° C (698° F).

The conditions of the fuser failure detection change as follows:
●
Abnormal high temperature
◦
Abnormal high temperature 1
The sub thermistor 1 keeps detecting 285°C (545°F) or higher for a specified period.
◦
Abnormal high temperature 2
The sub thermistor 2 keeps detecting 285°C (545°F) or higher for a specified period.
The sub thermistor 3 keeps detecting 285°C (545°F) or higher for a specified period.
◦
Abnormal high temperature 3
The main thermistor keeps detecting 210°C (410°F) or higher for a specified period.
●
Abnormal low temperature
◦
Abnormal low temperature 1
The sub thermistor 1 keeps detecting 80°C (176°F) or lower for a specified period during
INTR period or PRINT period.
