E. Fusing/paper exit section
(1) Outline
Toner attracted to the paper in the transfer section is fused by heat
and pressure of the heat roller. The heat roller is of thin aluminum
roller which is high heat conductivity, minimizing the warm up time.
The heat roller surface temperature is detected by the fusing
temperature sensor to maintain the fusing temperature at a constant
level (160/155 ˚C).
