Chapter 2 Operation Description
Fusing
The transferred toner image fuses to the paper, because heat and pressure are applied when it passes
between the heat roller and back-up roller.
The Teflon-coated heat roller contains a 400 W heater (Halogen lamp) that heats the heat roller. The
thermistor on the surface of the heat roller keeps its temperature constant. A thermostat is also installed
for safety. If temperature rises abnormally, this thermostat opens to suspend voltage to the heater.
The back-up roller is pressed against the heat roller by the pressure spring on each side.
