4.4.10. Fuser Temperature Control Circuit

The fuser temperature is controlled by IC11 ( Engine CPU ). IC11 has an analog to digital ( A/D ) converter ( AN0-AN7 ). Thermistor TH is connected to IC11 ( AN0 ). When IC11 ( Pin31 ) is low, Q7 is turned off. And Q4 is turned on. ThenHeat lamp inside fuser unit is turned on.

Abnormal temperature detection circuit consists of the following 2 sub-sections.

1.Abnormally Low Temperature Detection

Abnormally low temperature is detected by IC11 ( Engine CPU ) programming.

2.Abnormally High Temperature Detection

Abnormally high temperature is detected by IC11 ( Engine CPU ) programming. When front door is opened, the fuser lamp is shut off.
