6.17.2 DE-CURL MECHANISM
[A]: Heat Pipe Roller
[B]: Exit Rollers
[C]: Heat Pipe Roller Fins
[D]: Cooling Pipe Fan
Immediately after paper leaves the fusing unit, it passes between the heat pipe
roller [A] and the exit rollers [B].
The heat pipe roller absorbs heat from the paper.
Fins [C] attached to the front end of the heat pipe roller conduct heat away from the
heat pipe roller.
The cooling pipe fan [D] draws in cool air and blows it through the fins to dissipate
the heat conducted away from the heat pipe roller.
