The fixing unit employing the on-demand fixing method consists of a fixing film unit (incorporating a fixing heater, thermistor, and temperature huse), a pressure
roller, and a delivery roller.
The fixing pressure roller and the delivery roller are driven by the main motor (M1). The paper separated from the photosensitive drum is moved to the inside of
the fixing assembly; the paper is then moved outside it after the toner is fused to the paper by the work
of the fixing film and the fixing pressure roller.
The delivery sensor (SR5) is used to detect paper coming out of the fixing assembly.
