The fuser applies heat and pressure to the page to melt the toner particles and bond them permanently to the
paper. The fuser moves the paper to the redrive rolls which move the paper to the output bin.
Service tips
• If the fuser rollers are damaged, they can cause toner to be pulled o the page or cause paper jams.
• Toner that rubs o a printed page can be a sign of a malfunctioning fuser or an improper paper setting.
Always check the paper type setting before replacing the fuser. A common mistake is to print on heavier
media (such as cardstock) with the paper type set to plain paper.
• Never pull unfused toner through the fuser. Try to back the jammed page out of the fuser in the opposite
direction it was travelling.
Step 6: Clean/Erase
There are two main cleaning processes that take place during the EP Process. One process cleans the transfer
belt, and the other cleans the photoconductors.
Transfer unit clean
When the toner image on the transfer belt has been transferred to the page, the transfer belt rotates around
and is cleaned by the cleaning blade. This occurs for every page that is printed.
