Fuser Operation

Fuser Mode

Printer Action

 

 

Warm-Up Mode

When the printer power is turned on

 

the fuser lamp turns on until the hot

 

roll temperature reaches approxi-

 

mately 172 degrees centigrade.

 

 

Standby Mode

The hot roll temperature reaches

 

approximately 156 degrees centi-

 

grade. If this temperature is main-

 

tained for three minutes, the printer

 

switches to low temperature standby

 

mode and the hot roll is maintained

 

at 112 degrees centigrade.

 

 

Print Cycle

The hot roll is maintained at 172

 

degrees centigrade if the engine

 

board receives a print command

 

from the controller board.

 

Note: The hot roll temperature is

 

slightly higher on models 06C and

 

06F during the print cycle.

 

 

Fuser Control

 

The thermistor detects the hot roll temperature and sends a corresponding analog signal to the engine board. The engine board turns the lamp on or off depending on the analog signal from the thermistor.

If the thermistor detects a high temperature failure but the fuser lamp does not turn off, the thermal fuse opens (thermostat on models 4026-06C and 06F) and the engine board turns the fuser lamp off.
