Cleaning Roller X - Sharp MX-M350 Service Manual

The fusing heat roller (heating) is provided with two heater lamps,
which heat the fusing roller to fuse toner onto paper.
The fusing rollers (pressing) are made of silicon rubber because of
the following reasons and purpose.
1) Paper is separated upward. (Since the fusing roller (heating) is
of higher hardness, the fusing roller (pressing) is deformed to
separate paper upward.)
2) The nip quantity is increased to increase heat capacity for
paper.
3) By pressing paper with the flexible roller, toner is fused without
deformation.
(4) Fusing temperature control
The temperature sensor is provided at the center of the fusing
roller (heating).
The roller temperature is detected by the thermistor sensor, and
the heater lamp is controlled so that the temperature is maintained
at the specified level.
In addition, the fusing temperature is switched according to the
kind of paper.

(5) Cleaning roller
The fusing section cleaning roller of this machine is made of the
blast process.
1) Change to the fusing unit uses a colder roller to clean
unwanted toner from the pressure roller.
2) Due to coating and the temperature characteristics of the
upper heat roller, toner is not attached to the upper heat roller
but to the lower heat roller.
3) Remaining toner on the lower heat roller is further attached to
the cleaning roller due to the temperature characteristics and
the difference in roughness of surfaces of the rollers.
4) Remaining toner attached to the cleaning roller is accumulated
until the roller is replaced.
