摘要:
Washers are used for a pressure roll in a fusing system of an electrophotographic system that improve the functionality and durability of the pressure roll. These washers are made up of a rigid ring section having flexible (less rigid) fingers projecting from the inner periphery of the ring. This provides a more uniform pressure to be exerted in the pressure roll and, consequently, a more uniform nip for better handling and fusing.

A fuser subsystem module for an electrophotographic printer or copier pivots open to allow access to the fuser nip and the stripper finger area. Mechanisms in the module cause the sharp stripper fingers to retract when the module is opened, and also enable a stripper plate against the pressure roll to be properly oriented against the pressure roll when the module is closed.
