Step 5: Fuse
Once the image has been fully transferred to the media, the transfer roller helps move the paper into the
fuser area.
The fuser applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the tiny toner particles and bond them permanently
to the media. The fuser moves the paper from the rollers and into the exit bin. This is the Fuse Process.
Look at callout 5 in the picture below. This is the where the Fuser bonds the toner permanently on the page.
Note: If the fuser rollers are damaged, they can cause toner to be pulled off the page or cause paper jams.
Note: Toner that rubs off a printed page can be a sign of a malfunctioning fuser or an improper media
setting. Always check the paper type setting on the printer and driver before replacing the fuser. A common
mistake is to print on heavier media (such as card stock) with the paper type set to plain paper.
Note: When removing paper jams from the fuser, be sure to use the fuser release tabs to relieve the
pressure on the page. in addition, never pull unfused toner through the fuser if you can help it; try to back
the jammed page out of the fuser in the opposite direction it was traveling.
