19-2. Fusing Rollers Pressure Mechanism
Pressure Springs are installed at both ends of the Lower Fusing Roller. These
springs contact the bearings mounted on both ends of the Lower Fusing Roller and
exert pressure through the Lower Fusing Roller to the Upper Fusing Roller which
is installed in the Fusing Unit.
The Fusing Unit is divided into an upper and a lower half, and the upper half can
be swung open. The Upper Half of the copier, when locked in position, presses the
upper half of the Fusing Unit down onto its lower half.
