Fixing Section - Kyocera Mita FS-6020 Service Manual

2-1-6 Fixing section

The fixing section consists of the following parts and fixes the toner that is transferred to the paper at the transfer/
separation section. The paper sent from the transfer/separation section is interleaved between the heat roller and the
press roller. The heat roller is heated by the fixing heater lamp installed inside, and the toner is fused by heat and
pressure and fixed onto the paper because the press roller is pressed by the fixing press spring.
The fixing thermistor detects the temperature of the surface on the heat roller heated by the fixing heater lamp and this
temperature is controlled by the engine/high voltage PWB. If the fixing section shows extremely high temperature, the
power line will be shut off and the fixing heater lamp is forced to turn off.
When fixing of toner is complete, the paper is separated from he heat roller by the separator and ejected to the eject/
feedshift section.
