Abstract: A fuser system of a xerographic device provides a fuser member, and a pressure member supported for pressure engagement with the fuser member. The pressure member includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is variably pressurized for controlled change of the effective hardness of the outer layer. Controlling the effective hardness of the outer layer can be in response to the media paper weight and/or image content being processed though the xerographic device.

Abstract: A fuser system of a xerographic device provides a fuser roll, and first and second pressure rolls supported for selective engagement with the fuser roll. The fuser system further provides a repositioner which cooperates with the first and second pressure rolls for operatively selectively engaging one of the first and second pressure rolls with the fuser roll. The first pressure roll can include an outer surface having an effective modulus creating a first nip pressure, and the second pressure roll can include an outer surface having an effective modulus creating a second nip pressure. The selection of the first or second pressure roll can be in response to the media paper weight and/or image content being processed through the xerographic device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are several embodiments to facilitate the characterization of fuser stripping performance. Recognizing that the characteristics of a substrate exiting a fusing nip are indicative of the operation of the nip and the stripping operation itself, several contact and non-contact sensing methods are described to detect or predict degraded stripping performance, thereby permitting one or more compensation techniques to be employed, or to identify the need for fuser subsystem replacement.

Abstract: A printing system includes first and second marking engines. First and second fusers are associated with the marking engines, respectively. The printing system has a first mode of operation in which print media is fused by both fusers and a second mode of operation in which at least a portion of the print media is fused by the second fuser, which portion has not been previously fused by the first fuser. The second fuser has first and second fuser operating modes when the printing system is in the first and second modes of operation, respectively. The second fuser applies a first energy input to the print media in the first fuser operating mode and a second energy input, different from the first energy input, to the print media in the second fuser operating mode.
