6.7.3 PRESSURE ROLLER

The pressure springs [A] constantly
press the pressure roller [B] against
the hot roller [C]. As the default, the
springs are positioned at the end [D].
If necessary, pressure can be
decreased by changing the springs to
position [E].

6.7.4 PRESSURE RELEASE

When right door opens, part [A] (on each
side) pulls open catch [B] (on each side),
releasing pressure on the pressure roller,
so that it can turn freely to allow removal of
jams. When right door closes, part [C]
pushes catch [B] closed, restoring normal
pressure.

6.7.5 SEPARATION

The hot roller stripper pawls [A]
prevent paper from sticking to the hot
roller.
