Thermal Control Sensors
This machine has thermal control sensors that monitor various locations to control the IH coil [I] and the fusing lamp [J] in order to keep the proper temperature.
Thermal Control Sensor | Monitoring Area |
---|---|
Thermopile [A] | Heating Roller [E] (Center) |
Thermistor [B] | Fusing Belt [F] (End) |
Thermistor [C] (Pro C5200S/C5210S only) | Hot Roller Shaft [G] (Ends) |
Thermopile [D] | Pressure Roller [H] (Center) |
Thermal Transition
This machine controls the fusing unit to change the temperature in the fusing unit, depending on the eight states listed below:
State | Descriptions |
---|---|
1. Start-up, Restart-up | The machine detects that all covers (doors) are closed and then starts the fusing warming-up. The machine controls the fusing drive motor, the IH coil, and the fusing lamp to increase the fusing temperature up to the target temperature. |
2. Rotation after Reload | After fusing warming-up finishes, the fusing drive motor turns on for a certain time to keep the fusing temperature at a specified level (adjusted with “SP1107-001: Heating R”, “SP1107-002: Pressure R”). |
3. Before Paper Passing | The machine increases the temperature of the fusing roller and of the pressure roller to reach "Paper Passing-start Temperature". |
4. While Paper Passing | While paper is passing through the machine. |
5. After Paper Passing | After the last sheet of a job passes the fusing paper feed sensor, the machine controls the fusing drive motor, IH coil, and the fusing lamp to keep the target temperature (target temperature is adjusted with "SP1108-001: Heating R”, “SP1108-002: Pressure R"). |
6. Ready | When the "After Paper Passing" state finishes, the machine turns to the "Ready" state. The machine controls the fusing drive motor, the IH heater, and the fusing lamp in order to maintain the fusing temperature (can be adjusted with "SP1107-001: Heating R", "SP1107-002: Pressure R") |
7. Low Power Mode | A specified time passes after fusing system is ready to print , and then the IH coil and fusing drive motor turn off. At the same time, the fusing lamp turns on in order to keep the target temperature (can be adjusted with "SP1107-006") of the pressure roller. |
8. Sleep Mode | A specified time (normal: 1 minute) passes after the machine enters the "ready" state, and then the machine cuts the power supply for the IH coil, the fusing lamp, and the fusing drive motor. |
The tables below show the target temperature for the heating roller and pressure roller for each state.
