The copy paper is separated
from the
drum by utilizing its stiffness. Thin paper,
however, is not stiff, and may wrap around
the drum instead of separating from it. To
prevent this, a positive voltage is applied to
the

eliminator,
weakening the attraction between the drum
and the copy paper. This enables the paper
to separate easily from the drum.
9. Step 7 Fixing
COPY Paper
Figure 2-l 3
In this step, the copy paper is pressed
between
two heated
rollers to make the
toner image permanent.
To prevent the copy paper from wrap-
ping around the roller and toner offsetting
(adhesion of toner to the roller and transfer
of the toner to the next copy), the surface
of the upper fixing roller is cleaned with the
cleaning roller.
