Fuser-control circuit
The fuser-control circuit monitors and controls the temperature in the fuser. The product uses on-
demand fusing. The fuser-control circuit consists of the following major components:
●
Fuser heater (H1); heats the fusing film
●
Thermistor (TH1 and TH2); detects the fuser temperature (contact type)
◦
Main thermistor (TH1); controls the temperature in the fuser (contact type)
◦
Sub thermistor (TH2); detects a one-sided temperature rise in the fuser and controls the
temperature in the fuser (contact type)
●
Thermoswitch (TP1); prevents abnormal temperature rise in the fuser (contact type)
