Fusing Pressure Control Mechanism - Ricoh Neptune-P1 Service Manual

Fusing Pressure Control Mechanism

The spring-loaded pressure levers [A] are attached to the pressure roller shaft [B].
The pressure of the springs pushes the pressure roller [C] (a silicone-rubber roller) against the hot roller
[D].
To adjust the position of the pressure spring [E], change the position of the lower attachment point:
• Center: Standard tension (60 N on each spring), standard pressure.
• Left: Less tension, less pressure. Set to this position to decrease wrinkling
• Right: More tension, more pressure. Can make better fusing with thick paper.
• Wrinkling occurs more frequently for some types of media (plain, translucent, film, thick paper).
