K. Fixing/Delivery Assembly
1. Outline
The drive roller of the fixing assembly is driven by the main motor (M1).
When the drive roller rotates, the fixing film rotates, thereby rotating the lower fixing roller.
Part of the inner side of the fixing film is heated by the fixing heater.
The temperature of the fixing heater is checked by the thermistor (TH1), and the result is sent to the
microprocessor on the DC controller PCB as the fixing heater temperature detection signal (TH1).
Based on the TH1 signal, the microprocessor on the DC controller PCB varies the fixing heater drive
signal (HTRD) to control the temperature of the fixing heater.
The rear end of the fixing heater is also equipped with a thermistor (TH2) to check for overheating of
the end.
The machine is designed as such that the pressure between the film and the lower roller of the fixing
assembly is released when the front door is opened.
