AI Technical Summary
Ink jet recording apparatuses with a long nip configuration using an endless fixing belt face challenges in controlling rapid temperature rises, which can lead to thermal deformation due to insufficient response time in stopping heater power supply based on thermistor detection.
The apparatus incorporates a first and second temperature detecting member to monitor the temperature of the fixing belt, with sensors positioned to detect the temperature of the irradiation area and between rollers, enabling precise control of heater power supply to prevent excessive temperature rises.
This setup effectively suppresses rapid temperature increases in the fixing belt, preventing thermal deformation and ensuring high-quality ink fixation on the sheet.
