The pre-heater is an aluminum foil heater which preheats the media before printing. Internally, it is divided into pre-heater (1) [A] and pre-heater (2) [B], whose temperatures are controlled independently. Each heater has the thermistor [C] which detects the temperature. The pre-heater also has a thermostat [D] as a safety equipment.
Target Temperature
The target temperature of each heater is controlled by the RIP or SP. The machine compares the temperature detected by the thermistor and the target temperature, and controls the temperature by turning the heater ON/OFF.
