Warm-up control
1. 500 ms after the fixing heater S (FH-S) turns on, the fixing heater M (FH-M) turns on.
2. When the fixing temperature reaches preset temperature, both fixing heater S (FH-S) and fixing heater M (FH-
M) turn off simultaneously.
Ready state control
1. When the fixing temperature drops to the preset temperature, fixing heater S (FH-S) turns on, and after speci-
fied time, the heater turns off.
2. When fixing heater S (FH-S) turns off, fixing heater M (FH-M) turns on at the same time, and after specified
time, the heater turns off.
3. The operation above is repeated to keep the fixing temperature to the preset temperature.
If a temperature more than or equal to the preset temperature + 20
°C/68°F is detected, both fixing heater S
(FH-S) and fixing heater M (FH-M) are turned off forcibly.
(2) Fixing temperature control based on ambient temperature
This machine performs fixing temperature control based on the ambient temperature.
