Abstract:
A fuser control device includes: a fusing portion having a heater; a chopper portion including a reactor, a free-wheeling element, and a switching element; and a processor portion being configured to implement a first current control during an implementation period, the implementation period including a first time interval and a second time interval, the implementation period being longer than a commercial power period, the first current control for transferring a control signal having a predetermined duty ratio to the switching element during the first time interval and transferring a control signal having a 100% duty ratio to the switching element during the second time interval.
