(5) Fusing
The toner transferred on to the paper passes between the heat roller and the pressure roller
in the fuser unit, being fused by heat and pressure. The thermistor detects surface
temperature of the heat roller and turns the halogen heater lamp ON and OFF. This ensures
that the temperature is kept constant.
