Fusing

The toner transferred on to the paper passes between the heat roller and the pressure roller
in the fuser unit and are fused by heat and pressure. The main CPU detects surface
temperature of the heat roller using the thermistor and turns ON/OFF the halogen heater lamp
to keep the temperature constant.
