Xerox Phaser 6000 Service Manual

2-38 Xerox Internal Use Only Phaser 6000/6010 and WC 6015 MFP
Theory of Operation
Major Functions
The Fuser fixes the toner image onto the sheet by heat and pressure and guides
the sheet into and out of the fixing position.
• Heat Roller
A metal roller that transfers heat to the sheet to fuse the toner particles onto
the sheet surface.
•Pressure Belt
A combination of a belt and a pressurizing system for pressing the sheet
against the heat roller.
•Heater Lamp
A heating-coil-enclosed lamp located inside the heat roller to heat its entire
length.
• Temperature Sensor (contact type)
A thermistor (temperature-responsive resistance) positioned in contact with
the heat roller to detect its surface temperature and regulate heat lamp
operation.
•Thermostat
A component connected in series with the power supply for the heat lamp.
Prevents the overheating of the heat roller by releasing the contacts when the
contact section has reached a certain temperature due to a overheating
failure.
•Fuser Exit Sensor
Detects whether the fused print has passed through the Fuser based on the
change of the actuator position. (Sheet passed: Sensor beam received.)
