Paper temperature measurement fuser control

摘要

A fuser temperature control in a machine having a first temperature sensor contacting a fuser roll surface, a prefuser transport for conveying copy sheets to the fuser, a controller and a second sensor electrically connected to the first sensor and positioned adjacent the path of said copy sheets to sense the temperature of the copy sheets and the ambient temperature of the machine at the entry to the fuser, wherein the fuser roll temperature is controlled in response to variations in the ambient temperature at the pre-fuser transport and the temperature of the copy sheets.
