are input signals to the error detec-
tion circuit.
The error detection circuit
is
built
into the DC
controller, and
is
used
to monitor the surface

2. Mechanism
Figure 3-45a shows the error detection circuit,
and Table 3-5 lists the conditions for its activation.
The error
AC
shutoff
relay
(RLl)
goes OFF
in
response lo the output of the errordetection circuit
in
terms of both software and hardware.
a. Detection by Software
Ifanerrorinthesurfacetemperatureoftheupper
fixing roller (220°C) or the activation of the fixing
heater
is
detected
in
terms of software, the error
AC
shutoff
relay
(RLl)
is
turned OFF immediately and
an
error
code
is
displayed.
