CHAPTER 6 FIXING SYSTEM

I. BASIC OPERATIONS

A. Outline

The drive roller of the fixing assembly is driven by the main motor (M1).

When the drive roller rotates, the fixing film rotates and, in conjunction, the pressure roller rotates.

Part of the inside of the fixing film is heated by the fixing heater.

The temperature of the fixing heater is monitored by a thermistor (TH1), and the result is sent to the microprocessor in the DC controller circuit in the form of the fixing heater temperature detection signal (TH1).

Based on the result (TH1 signal), the microprocessor on the DC controller varies the fixing heater drive signal (HTRD) to control the temperature of the fixing heater.

Further, a thermistor (TH2) is also provided on the end (rear) of the fixing heater to monitor overheating.
