12.4 Heater Control Circuit
(1) Temperature detection unit
In order to control the temperature of the heat roller, the temperature detector unit detects the heat-
roller temperature with a thermistor and ON/OFF controls the heater lamp. Heat roller surface tem-
perature 180°C (thermistor resistance value: 7.4 KΩ approx.)
