Fusing Exit Assembly - Ricoh FT4430 Service Manual

FUSING EXIT ASSEMBLY

The fusing exit assembly [A] includes the fusing roller strippers [B], the lower
fusing exit guide [C], the exit sensor, and the antistatic brush.
The hot roller strippers prevent copy paper from wrapping around the hot
roller. They slide between the paper and the roller, and then direct the paper
to the fusing exit rollers.
The lower fusing exit guide prevents the copy paper from wrapping around
the pressure roller. Although the lower fusing exit guide is not touching the
pressure roller, it will catch the leading edge of the copy paper due to the face
curl of the paper. (The face curl is caused by the pressure between the teflon
hot roller and silicone rubber teflon coated pressure roller.)
