Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Fuser Temperature

Question to the printer fuser gang in the toner transfer camp.
What temperature does one set the fuser to for good results. My LJ2100 manual says the fuser temperature is 200 deg C. I have calibrated mine to 193 deg C. Is this OK. Also what feed rate is reasonable? I have incorporated a variable speed drive into my design and I was wondering what a good starting pc board feed rate is to commence experimentation.
BTW Stefan I used your circuit design to control the temperature through a triac. I put a led in the primary circuit of the opto-triac driver that turns off when the set temperature is reached then cycles on and off as the temperature cycles around the set-point. Works a real treat. Thanks very much for such a simple solution.
