<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that a fixing double monitoring function is made ineffective when a zero cross signal does not exist, in which the conventional fixing double monitor circuit has. <P>SOLUTION: In the case of controlling to turn off an AC heater relay 105, the on/off signal of a capacitor heater relay 114 is turned off regardless of capacitor heater relay trigger, so that a power supply source to a capacitor heater 109 is disconnected. Therefore, when the relay 105 is controlled to be turned off, that is, a fixing double monitoring mechanism becomes ineffective, a power supply source to a fixing heater is disconnected by forcibly turning off the relay 114, so that the damage is prevented from being extended to the image forming apparatus 104. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
