D. Error Detection
The fixing temperature control mechanism is monitored for the following:
[1] Temperature control error by the main thermistor (TH1; see the sequence charts on the
pages that follow)
[2] Sensor error by the sub thermistor (TH2; see the sequence charts on the pages that follow)
[3] Overheating error by the thermal switch (TP1)

When '1', the main heater turns on.
When the sub heater is powered, '0'.
When '0', the main switch is turned off.
