METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ESTABLISHING STEADY STATE ADJUSTED RELEASE FLUID RATE BEFORE SHEET PROCESSING AT A FUSING NIP

摘要

A fluid delivery system is controlled to adjust a release fluid delivery rate to a rate that is predetermined to be effective for fusing a next sheet in a print job before the sheet arrives at a fusing nip. Predetermined rates and corresponding media types may be stored in memory. A controller controls the fluid release system for a print job in accordance with a print job schedule based on the predetermined fluid delivery rates.
