The inlet sensor flag of the fixing assembly is equipped with a mechanism that moves up and down in keeping with the locking/unlocking of the fixing belt unit. It
moves up when the power is ON or when the jam is cleared (when unlocking of the fixing belt unit) to detect residual paper. During printing (when adding pressure
to the fixing belt unit), it is located below the surface of paper passage in order not to affect the feeding performance of the paper.
- When the power is ON, and the jam is cleared (unlocking of the fixing belt)
- When printing (Adding pressure to the fixing belt)
