Fuser-control circuit

The fuser-control circuit monitors and controls the temperature in the fuser. The product uses on-demand fusing. The fuser-control circuit consists of the following major components:

Fuser main heater (H1): Heats the center of the fuser sleeve

Fuser sub heater (H2): Heats the ends of the fuser sleeve

Thermistors; detect the fuser temperature (contact type)

Sleeve thermistor (TH1): Detects the temperature at the center of the fuser sleeve

Main thermistor (TH2): Detects the temperature at the center of the fuser heater

Sub thermistor 1 (TH3): Detects the temperature at the end of the fuser heater nearest the front of the product

Sub thermistor 2 (TH4): Detects the temperature at the end of the fuser heater nearest the rear of the product

Thermal fuse (FU1): Prevents abnormal temperature rise in the fuser heater (non-contact type)
