2. Product specification and description
2.2.4.4. Fuser
This unit consists of Heat Roller, a Thermostat, and Thermistor, etc. It fuses the toner that was transferred by the transfer
roller onto the paper, by applying heat and pressure to complete fusing process.
1)
Thermostat
When a heat lamp is overheated, a Thermostat cuts off the main power to prevent over- heating.
•
Thermostat Type : Non- Contact type Thermostat
•
Control Temperature : 170
℃
± 5
℃
2)
Thermistor
It is a temperature detecting sensor.
•
Temperature Resistance : 7K
Ω
(180
℃
)
3)
Heat roller
The heat roller transfers the heat from the lamp to apply a heat on the paper.
The surface of a heat roller is coated with Teflon, so toner does not stick to the surface.
