<p>The present invention is a machine control having a programmable non-volatile memory and microprocessor to control power to a fuser lamp in a manner to adapt the machine to distinct power outlets. The non-volatile memory is programmed to indicate the availability of a particular power output. The control monitors the memory and in turn gates a triac controlling the fuser lamp to apply the maximum possible power to the fuser. If the machine is operating at a 3.0 of a 2.2 kva outlet, full power could not be delivered to the fuser while the machine is operating. The machine would adapt to operate at reduced power to the fuser until the fuser temperature drops below a minimum temperature level.</p> |
