MAIN FUSING LAMP INTERCHANGEABILITY

12th May 1995

6. MAIN FUSING LAMP INTERCHANGEABILITY

The main fusing lamp for the A161/A162 is different from that for the
A157/A160. The total span of all the filaments has been expanded for the
A161/A162 copier to compensate for the difference in the cpm and the
warm-up time.
In other words, there is more overlap of the main and secondary fusing lamp
filaments in the A161/A162 compared with the A157/A160 copier. This allows
a faster heat up time around the edges of the hot roller.
To distinguish between the two types of lamp, the lamp connector color at the
front side is different.

A161/A162 - Blue
A157/A160 - White

NOTE: Do not confuse the fusing lamps for the A161/A162 and A157/A160
copiers. If an A161/A162 lamp is installed in a A157/A160 copier,
faster warm-up may be achieved, but fusing problems may occur
during multi-copy runs due to a lack of heat for the faster cpm.
The secondary fusing lamp is the same as for the base copier.
