ABSTRACT:
A belt fuser/finisher including an endless fusing/finishing belt directed around a closed loop path defined by a heated roller and at least one unheated roller. The endless fusing/finishing belt and rollers are mounted on a belt frame that is pivotally attached to a mainframe. The belt frame may be rotated from a latched running position to service position, and the tension in the endless fusing/finishing belt can be relieved, thereby enabling the endless fusing/finishing belt to be easily removed and replaced.
