<p>A heated fuser member (31) for use in the fusing apparatus of a xerographic copying machine, for fixing toner images to a support surface (22), includes a heating element (35) formed of a material which heats the fuser member to the required fusing temperature, and which is temperature-self regulating. The element (35) is formed of a semiconducting ceramic material having a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity, and exhibiting a Curie temperature transition point at which the resistance of the material increases with increasing temperature.</p> |
