MX-M316N OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTIONS 11 – 26
D. Fusing operation
Toner on paper is heated and pressed to be fused by the heat roller.
The heater lamp is in the heat roller, which heats the heat roller to fuse
toner onto paper.
The pressure roller is made of silicon rubber because of the following
reasons and purpose.
1) Paper is separated. (Since the heat roller is of higher hardness,
the pressure roller is deformed to separate paper toward the heat
roller.)
2) The nip quantity is increased to increase heat capacity for paper.
3) By pressing paper with the flexible roller, toner is fused without
deformation.
E. Fusing temperature control
The temperature sensor is provided at the center of the heat roller.
The roller temperature is detected by the thermistor sensor, and the
heater lamp is controlled so that the temperature is maintained at the
specified level.
