(6) Fusing
- When passing through between the heat roller and the backup roller, the toner image transferred to the paper is fused into place by the application
of heat and pressure to it. The built-in upper and lower halogen lamps of 700 watts and 500 watts heat the Teflon coated heat roller. The fusing temperature is
controlled by the sum of the temperature detected by the thermistor moving over the heat roller surface and the temperature detected by the
thermistor moving over the backup roller surface. For safety, a thermostat is provided and, when the heat roller temperature rises by a fixed degree or more,
becomes open to cut off voltage supply to the heater. The backup roller is being pressed against the heater by the pressure springs on both sides.
