P-47
Mode 1 • When the main body has been in standby mode for 6 hours, the fusing roller is rotated for a
specified distance.
• When the main body has been in power save mode for 13 days, the fusing roller is rotated for a
specified distance. Afterwards, the main body returns to the power save mode.
Mode 2 • Disable
(3)Fusing temperature control
• The fusing temperature control detects the surface temperature of the fusing roller using the fusing temperature sensor and turns the
fusing heater lamp ON/OFF.
When the fusing heater lamp is turned ON, the fusing roller is heated at the specified temperature.

(a)Fusing heater lamp
• The heating roller contains a fusing heater lamp assy in it. The fusing heater lamp turns ON to generate heat, which heats the heating
roller and fusing belt.
• The fusing heater lamp assy consists of two heaters, each having a unique heating range different from each other.
• The fusing heater lamp/1 uniformly heats the entire area of the fusing roller.
• The fusing heater lamp/2 heats only the central portion of the fusing roller.
• The fusing heater lamp is turned ON or OFF according to the width of the paper and the surface temperature of the fusing belt.
• For a paper width of 148 mm or less, the fusing heater lamp/2 is used to heat the central portion.
• For a paper width exceeding 148 mm, the surface temperature of the fusing belt is measured and the fusing heater lamp/1 and
the fusing heater lamp/2 are alternately turned ON.
