(7) Fusing
After the end of the transfer, the unfused toner image is fused on the paper under heat and pressure as it passes
between the heater roller and the back-up roller. The heater roller with a Teflon coating incorporates a 750W heater
(Halogen lamp), which heats the heat roller.
A thermistor which is in contact with the heater roller regulates the heater roller at a predetermined temperature
(about 180 ~ 200°C). A safety thermostat cuts off voltage supply to the heater by opening the thermostat in the event
of abnormal temperature rises.
The back-up roller is held under a pressure of 5 kg from the pressure spring at each side.
