Fusing
The toner image is fused on the paper by passing it between the heated roller and the back-up
roller. The heated roller is teflon coated and contains a 600 watt quartz lamp. The back-up roller
and springs provides a pressure of 3 kg.
A thermistor regulates the heated roller temperature at a predetermined temperature (about 150°
C). A thermostat cuts off voltage supply to the heater in the event of abnormal temperature rise.
Paper Ejection
Paper is ejected from the fuser unit by the back-up roller. If the face-up stacker is closed, paper is
routed to the top of the printer for face-down delivery.
