Development　of　a　New　Fusing　System　Using. Four　Types　of　Test　Pieces　for Four Generic Functions

Abstract

In　order　to　save　energy　for　copy　machines　and　printers,　a　new　fusing　system　was developed　using　a　resistant　heater　that　could　be　warmed　up　in　a　short　period　of time.　Only　one　year　was　pent　for　development. The　new　fusing　system　was　divided　into　sub-systems,　i.e.,　power　supply　system,heating　system,　separating　system　and　temperature　measuring　system. Parameter　design　was　performed　for　each　sub-system　using　four　types　of　test pieces.
