(6) Fusing
The toner image transferred on the paper is fused on the paper by heat and
pressure when the paper passes through the heat roller and backup roller.
The heat roller is heated by 800W and 350W internal halogen lamps, and the
backup roller is heated by a 50W internal halogen lamp. The fuser temperature
is controlled according to the sum of the temperature that is not contacted with
the thermistor ground against the heat roller surface and the temperature that is
detected with the thermistor ground on the backup roller surface. There is also a
thermostat for safety purposes. When the heat roller temperature rises above a
certain temperature, the thermostat opens and shuts down the power supplied to
the heater. The backup roller unit is pressed against the heater with a press spring
on both sides.
