Océ Radiant Fusing Technology

Océ Radiant Fusing technology consumes less energy and emits less noise and ozone when compared to other fusing methods. In addition to these environmental benefits, it also provides incredible, consistent quality. During the Radiant Fusing process, the toner melts and is fused to the media via heat rising from a grid of wires, without distorting the image.

ADVANTAGES

• No warm-up time enables quick machine availability, even from sleep mode.
• Sharper output prevents resolution loss, dot-size degradation and line fuzziness since the toner melts exactly where it’s placed on the media.
• Low power consumption reduces energy usage with ENERGY STAR approved Radiant Fusing. The grid of wires used in fusing is heated, instantly limiting the amount of power required in stand-by/ready and sleep modes.
• Minimizes distractions: With no pressure rollers, a lower temperature is maintained. Since the system heats and cools instantly, there’s no need for noisy fans and the system runs quietly in stand-by-ready and sleep modes.
• The technology generates less internal heat and users fewer consumable parts (no fuser-rollers or fuser oil), increasing a machine’s long-term reliability.
• Our technology consumes less energy and emits less noise and ozone compared to other fusing methods.

HOW THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS
Toner is placed on the media, and the media is passed over a grid/array of heated wires. The grid of wires used heats and cools quickly, similar to a toaster. (Conventional technologies use heated fuser rollers that require extensive warm-up time or high levels of energy consumption to keep them hot while waiting for prints in stand-by/ready mode.) Heat passes through the media and the toner virtually melts into the media. Since the media does not run through pressure and heated fuser rollers, there is minimal image distortion, providing sharp image quality.
