Abstract

See full text

A method of controlling the temperature of a fuser is disclosed. The fuser is driven with a repeated sequence of half-cycles of an AC line voltage. The sequence contains partial half-cycles and does not have a repeating sequence shorter than twenty half-cycles. The disclosed sequences provide fine granularity of fuser power while generating low power-line flicker and harmonics. Other methods and systems are disclosed.
