6.9.2 PAPER FEED THROUGH THE FUSING UNIT

After separation from the drum:
! The paper feeds to the transport plate [1].
! The 5 sets of spurs [2] at the entrance hold the paper against the transport plate
! The heat and pressure of the hot roller [3] against the pressure roller [4] fuse the image
to the paper.
The fusing lamp [5] in the center of the hot roller is pre-heated to the correct
!
temperature. (It switches on and off to keep the rollers at the correct operating
temperature.)
! The hot roller strippers [6] pull the copy off the hot roller.
! The fusing exit sensor [7] detects the leading edge and trailing edge of the sheet, and
checks the timing to detect paper jams.
! The fusing exit rollers [8] feed the paper out of the fusing unit.
