2-1-8 Fixing section
The fixing section consists of the parts shown in the figure.
When the paper reaches the fixing section after the transfer process, it passes through the gap between the press roller
and the heat roller, which is heated by fixing heaters M and S (FH-M and FH-S), where pressure is applied by the
pressure springs so that toner on the paper is melted and fused onto the paper.
When the fixing process is completed, the paper is separated from the heat roller and the press roller by their separation
claws and is ejected out of the fixing section by the rotation of the fixing eject pulley and roller.
The fixing web roller in contact with the heat roller cleans the surface of the heat roller.
