[EP2-01] On External Heating Fuser Technology for On Demand and High Productivity Printing of LBP

*Akimichi Suzuki¹, Satoshi Nishida¹, Isamu Takeda¹, Shotaro Ikegami¹ (1. Canon Inc.)

Canon has released LBP654C which is an energy saving and a high-speed printing in April, 2017. This product accomplished a high-speed printing of up to 27 pages per minute with a quick first print of 8.6 seconds and a high print quality. For these achievement, an external heating fuser technology has been newly developed. Especially this new fuser technology contributes to the print quality uniformity and temperature rise on the non-paper region. In this paper, the improvement of the fuser performance has been confirmed through comparison with the conventional fuser by using a heat transfer simulation.
