The fusing pressure is constantly applied between the hot roller [A] and
pressure roller [B] by the upper pressure lever [C] and lower pressure lever
[D] which are lifted up by the fusing unit release lever [E] via the pressure
cam [F]. The pressure can be adjusted by using the pressure adjustment
screw [G].
The fusing pressure is released by turning the fusing unit release lever
counterclockwise. This is helpful for clearing paper jams.
