开发了一种独特的感应加热彩色熔融技术，并已在新发布的一次通过彩色激光打印机中采用。彩色定影单元包括由含金属的耐热树脂制成的薄定影带、具有低热容量的加热辊、定影辊和加压辊，该加压辊将定影带夹在定影辊和加热辊之间以挤压定影辊。感应加热器沿着并邻近定影带和加热辊的外周设置。新开发的定影带具有低热容量，厚度仅为几百微米，并且具有高效自加热的结构，因为通过电磁感应在带内部产生涡电流。此外，由交变磁场产生的涡电流加热加热辊。这种设计缩短了定影单元从冷启动到仅20秒的预热时间。该彩色激光打印机通过采用感应加热技术，消除了在待机期间预热定影单元的需要，并且与传统打印机相比实现了90%或更多的节能。
A unique color fusing technology using induction heating has been developed, which has been adopted in a newly released one-pass color laser printer. The color fusing unit consists of a thin fusing belt made of heat resistant resin containing metal, a heating roller with low thermal capacity, a fusing roller, and a pressure roller to press the fusing roller with the fusing belt in between. An induction heater is disposed along and adjacent to the outer circumference of the fusing belt and heating roller. The newly developed fusing belt has a low thermal capacity, with a thickness of only several hundred micrometers, and has a structure that self-heats at high efficiency, since eddy currents are generated inside the belt by electromagnetic induction. In addition, the eddy currents generated by the alternating magnetic field heats the heating roller. This design shortens the warm-up time of the fusing unit from cold start to only 20 sec. This color laser printer eliminates the need to preheat the fusing unit during stand-by time by employing the induction heating technique and achieves energy saving of 90% or more compared with conventional printers.
