6.15.6 PRESSURE ROLLER
The pressure springs [A] apply constant
pressure between the hot roller [B] and the
pressure roller [C]. The applied pressure
can be changed by adjusting the position
of the pressure springs. The left position
[D] is the normal setting, and the right
position [E] increases the pressure to
prevent insufficient fusing by the fusing
unit.
6.15.7 CLEANING MECHANISM
The cleaning roller [A], in constant contact
with the pressure roller [B], collects toner
and paper dust from the surface of the
pressure roller. Because the cleaning roller
is metal, it can collect adhering matter better
than the pressure roller, which is coated with
Teflon.
