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 followin g 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.
