Fusing Belt Smoothing Roller

Printing continuously on a particular paper size causes the paper edges to nick the fusing belt, and when
switched to a job printed on a larger size, the nicked fusing belt produces unwanted gloss streaks on the
prints.
Also, continuous printing of high image coverage pages causes the wax content of toner to gradually
adhere to the fusing belt, affecting the gloss consistency of the prints.

Image quality issues such as gloss streaks and uneven gloss can be resolved by polishing the surface of
the fusing belt with the fusing belt smoothing roller [16].
The belt smoothing operation can be run manually or automatically. The setting can be selected in the
Advanced Settings.
