Motor Speed Control
During normal operation, the fusing rollers [A] (controlled by the fusing motor) is
slightly faster than the registration rollers [B] (controlled by the main motor).
This stretches the paper between the registration rollers and the fusing unit to keep
the paper from wrinkling inside the fusing unit.
Inching Control
This machine also has an inching control feature that controls the temperature of
the pressure roller to prevent wrinkling. (!6.9.4)
