FUSING ROLLER DRIVE CONTROL
 Fusing Roller Speed Change Control
 The Fusing Roller (Heating Roller/Fusing Pressure Roller) is driven by
the Fusing Motor (M4). The Fusing Motor (M4) drives the Heating
Roller. The Fusing Pressure Roller rotates along with the Heating
Roller.
 In order to avoid fusing error, the rotation speed of the Fusing Roller is
to be set to one of 2 levels according to the paper type or the print mode.
 Fusing Loop Control
By creating a paper loop, the speed difference between the fusing and
paper conveyance at 2nd transfer part will be adjusted. It prevents the
double transferred image or brush effect.
