Fixing Section - Kyocera Mita KM-1530 Service Manual

2-1-8 Fixing section

The fixing section consists of the parts shown in Figure 2-1-25. When paper reaches the fixing section after the transfer
process, it passes between the press roller and heat roller, which is heated by the fixing heater (FH). Pressure is applied
by the fixing unit pressure springs so that the toner on the paper is melted, fused and fixed onto the paper.
When the fixing process is completed, the paper is separated from the heat roller by heat roller separation claws and is
ejected from the fixing section by the rotation of the eject pulley and roller.
