12.6 FUSING EXIT ASSEMBLY

The fusing exit assembly includes the fusing roller strippers [A], the lower fusing exit guide [B],
and the exit sensor [C].
The hot roller strippers prevent copy paper from wrapping around the hot roller. They slide
between the paper and the roller and then direct the paper to the fusing exit rollers.
The lower fusing exit guide prevents the copy paper from wrapping around the pressure roller.
Although the lower fusing exit guide does not touch the pressure roller, it catches the leading
edge of the copy paper due to the face curl of the paper. (The face curl is caused by the
pressure between the hot roller and silicone pressure roller.)
