Fusing and delivery unit The fusing and delivery unit fuses the toner onto the paper and delivers the printed page into the output bin. The following controls ensure optimum print quality: The face-down tray media full sensor on the output bin detects whether the tray is full of printed pages. The DC controller notifies the formatter when the sensor is on for a specified time.

If the pressure roller rotate slower than the secondary transfer roller, the paper loop increases and an image defect or paper crease occurs. If the pressure roller rotate faster than the secondary transfer roller, the paper loop decreases and a vertical scanning magnification failure occurs because the pressure roller pulls the paper. To prevent these problems, loop sensor 1 and loop sensor 2 detect the paper loop before the paper enters the fuser. The DC controller adjusts the rotational speed of the fuser motor according to the output signals from the loop sensors and maintains the paper loop. Loop sensor 1 is for light media, 52 Chapter 1 Theory of operation ENWW
