Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to detect easily the life of a flashing lamp and abnormal flashing operation, by constituting the flashing device of the flashing lamp, light intensity sensors, sensor output readers, initial value setting switches, a microprocessor, its peripheral circuits, and a flash driving circuit. CONSTITUTION:The microprocessor 8 reads the outputs of the sensors 21-24 after its flashing command is produced, and computes their average value. When this value is compared with the initial set switch value, and the difference is not below the predetermined value NTH1, said flashing lamp 1 is judged to reach the limit of usable life and a user is informed of the necessity of immediate exchange of it. On the other hand, at each timing of flash, output of each sensor 21-24 is added, checked, averaged, and its value is compared with the output from the initial value setting switch 6. When it is higher than the predetermined value NTH2, it is judged that some abnormal trouble occurs, sufficient flashing is not carried out, and toner fixing on the printing paper is not perfect, and immediately the apparatus is stopped, and occurrence of abnormal trouble is displayed.

The output is digitally exchanged, the value is read by a microprocessor, and the average value is obtained by integrating this value. When this value is compared with the default switch value,
If there is a difference of more than a predetermined value of NTH1, it is determined that the flash lamp has reached the end of its life and a signal is issued to inform the user that it should be replaced immediately. On the other hand, the output of each sensor 21 to 24 is multiplied by 11 at each flash timing, and the value is checked and averaged, and this value is compared with the output from the initial value W'''', which is determined by the law in advance. If the il value is larger than N'rl+2, it means that some error has occurred and the flash has not been used sufficiently. ut is stopped and an abnormality is displayed.Of course, here N.+.I11!>Nl.[1.
