Heat roller<br />
Thermistor<br />
A Teflon roller is used for the heat roller and a silicone rubber roller<br />
is used for the lower heat roller for better toner fusing performance<br />
and paper sep<strong>ar</strong>ation.<br />
(2) Sep<strong>ar</strong>ator pawl<br />
Three sep<strong>ar</strong>ator pawls <strong>ar</strong>e used on the upper heat roller. The sep<strong>ar</strong>ator<br />
pawls <strong>ar</strong>e Teflon coated to reduce friction with the roller and<br />
prevent a sme<strong>ar</strong> on the paper caused by the sep<strong>ar</strong>ator pawl.<br />

Heater lamp<br />
1) The heater lamp, thermistor, main PWB, DC power supply<br />
PWB, and triac within the power supply unit <strong>ar</strong>e used to control<br />
the temperature in the fuser unit.<br />
To prevent against abnormally high temperature in the fuser<br />
unit, a thermal breaker and thermal fuse <strong>ar</strong>e used for safety<br />
purposes.<br />

Sep<strong>ar</strong>ator pawl<br />
Heated by the heater<br />
lamp. (950W)<br />
The surface temperature<br />
of the upper heat roller is<br />
sensed by the thermistor.<br />
Level of the thermistor is<br />
controlled by the main PWB.<br />
With the signal from the<br />
main PWB, the triac is<br />
controlled on and off.<br />
(power supply PWB)<br />

2) The surface temperature of the upper heat roller is set to 160 -<br />
200°C. The surface temperature during the power save mode<br />
is set to 100°C.<br />
3) The self-check function comes active when one of the following<br />
malfunctions occurs, and an "H" is displayed on the multicopy<br />
window.<br />
a. When the heat roller surface temperature rises above 240°C.<br />
b. When the heat roller surface temperature drops below 100°C<br />
during the copy cycle.<br />
c. Open thermistor<br />
d. Open thermal fuse<br />
e. When the heat roller temperature does not reach 190°C within<br />
27 second after supplying the power.<br />
(4) Fusing resistor<br />
This <strong>model</strong> is provided with a fusing resistor in the fusing section<br />
to improve transfer efficiency.<br />
Since the upper heat roller is conductive, when using copy paper<br />
that contains moisture and the distance between the transfer unit<br />
and the fusing unit is short, the transfer current may find a path to<br />
ground via the copy paper, the upper heat roller and the disch<strong>ar</strong>ging<br />
brush.<br />

Paper feed is made in two ways; the tray paper feed and the <strong>manual</strong><br />
paper feed. The tray is of universal-type, and has the capacity<br />
of 250 sheets.<br />
The front loading system allows you to install or remove the tray<br />
from the front cabinet.<br />
The general descriptions on the tray paper feed and the <strong>manual</strong><br />
paper feed operation <strong>ar</strong>e given below.<br />
