Abstract

Fusing process of laser printer is the step to fuse toner on the paper and it has a great effect on fast printing speed, decrease in waiting time and improvement of printing quality. In order to improve the quality of fusing, a study on the fusion region is required. Recently, various researches are progressing in this field. In this study, the research about the temperature distribution of fusing region is performed through numerical analysis because fusing region is one of the important factors influencing fusing quality. According to results, it is ascertained that the temperature of fusing region is relative to velocity of the paper under print and has a regular distribution to width direction of the paper.
