5. Fuser Temperature Control Circuit
The fuser temperature is controlled by IC101 on the LPC PC Board, which contains A/D (Analog/
Digital) converters. IC101 adjusts temperature, observing two Thermistors and voltages separated by
R418 and R439 with A/D converters. When the PC101 drive current is transmitted from the LPC PC
Board to the HTC PCB, the Fuser Lamp turns ON. IC401 is a converter with open output at pins 1 and
7 and is used as an abnormal temperature detection circuit. IC401, pin 1 and 7, has a high impedance
when Q407 and Q413 are activated, turning ON the Fuser Lamp. An abnormal temperature is detected
when the VTH voltage level becomes higher than V+, forcing IC401, pin 1 and 7 Low and
deactivating Q407 and Q413.
Abnormally low and high temperatures, as well as Thermistor release status, are detected by IC101
(CPU) programming.
