Fusing Belt
This machine uses a fusing belt [A]. The paper goes between the fusing belt and
the pressure roller [F].
Heating Roller Lamp
The center of the heating roller [B] contains a lamp (770 W) [C]. The thermostat [D]
and thermistor [E] control the temperature of the roller surface. The machine cuts
power to the lamp when it detects 220
°
C. The thermostat cutoff point is 200
°
C.
Pressure Roller Lamp
The center of the pressure roller [F] contains a lamp (350 W) [G]. The thermistor
[H] and thermofuse [I] control the temperature of the roller surface.
The temperature of the surface of the pressure roller reaches to 250
°
C when the
pressure roller temperature rises gradually or it reaches 300
°
C when it rises
rapidly. Normally, the machine cuts the lamp power when the thermistor detects
220
°
C.
Pressure Roller Pawls
The pawls [J] above the pressure roller help prevent paper jams.
