6 Fusing
During this stage, heat and pressure fix toner to the paper.
The toner image transferred from the drum surface to the paper is easily dislodged. To fix
the image to the paper, the paper is passed between the fuser assembly and a pressure
roller. The fuser roller applies the heat necessary to bond toner to paper and also supplies
rotational force to help pull the paper evenly through. The pressure roller, though neither
heated or mechancially driven, provides the surface against which the pressure and heat can
be evenly applied.
