(10-1) An error occurs right after turning on the power
Confirmation Items
Confirmation Tasks
Action at NG
(10-1-1) Malfunction of thermistors
Upper thermistor, lower
thermistor, frame thermistor
Check to see if the thermistors are short-circuited or
open.
Check the resistance value through the connector pins
below the fuser unit.
(See Subsection 9.1 Check of resistance values (Fuser
unit.)
Replace the fuser
unit. To use a new
fuser unit on a trial
basis, use FUSE
KEEP MODE of the
System Maintenance
Menu.
Installed state of fuser unit
Check to see if the fuser unit is securely pushed in to
such a position that the connector at its lower part is
plugged in.
Redo the installation
of the fuser unit.
(10-2) An error occurs in 1 min. from turning on the power

(10-2-1) Temperature rise of fuser unit
Thermostat, halogen lamp
Ensure that the heater control is properly exerted, and
touch the fuser unit to confirm that it is hot.
If it remains cold, confirm that the resistance between pin
1 and pin 6 of the connectors (2) measures from several
Ω
to several tens of
Ω
.
Replace the fuser
unit. To use a new
fuser unit on a trial
basis, use FUSE
KEEP MODE of the
System Maintenance
Menu.
(10-2-2) Temperature rise of fuser unit
Installed state of upper
thermistor
Check to see if the upper thermistor is installed away
from its prescribed position, causing the temperature to
be measured low. Detach the heater cover, and check
visually for warpage of the sensor, etc.
Replace the fuser
unit. To use a new
fuser unit on a trial
basis, use FUSE
KEEP MODE of the
System Maintenance
Menu.
Installed state of lower
thermistor
Check to see if the lower thermistor is located away,
whereas it should be in contact with the unit, causing
a lower temperature than the prescribed one to be
detected.
Replace the fuser
unit. To use a new
fuser unit on a trial
basis, use FUSE
KEEP MODE of the
System Maintenance
Menu.
(10-2-3) AC input for halogen lamp
AC voltage of low-voltage
power supply
Check to see if the AC voltage for the heater is supplied
normally.
Between pins 1 and 2 and between pins 3 and 4 of the
CN connector of the power supply.
Replace the low-
voltage power
supply.
Heater-on signal delivered
from PU to low-voltage
power supply
Check to see if the heater-on signal turns active at the
warming-up timing. "L" active while it is ON.
Pin 11 and pin 12 of the POWER connector of the PU
PCB (PRF PCB)
Replace the PU
PCB (PRF PCB).
