(6) Fuser Unit and Paper Ejection
1. A single-pulse motor drives the fuser unit and the eject rollers.
In response to the running of the heat motor in the direction of the arrow (a), the heat roller
turns. This roller fuses a toner image to paper by heat and pressure.
2. At the same time, the four eject rollers move to eject the paper.
3. The paper separator solenoid switches the path back and forth between the route to the
face-up stacker and the route to face-down stacker.
