ABSTRACT:
A method and system for nip gap adjustment of a roller pair such as is used in a printing device with a fusing station for fusing a substance to a substrate and a sheet transfer path for transporting the substrate through the device. The roller pair may be located along the sheet transfer path after the fusing station and includes a first roll having a first axis of rotation and a second roll having a second axis of rotation, the second roll operatively positioned with respect to the first roll so as to transport a substrate with the first roll and the second roll. The device further includes a nip gap changing mechanism for changing the separation between the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation to establish a nip gap.
