<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve efficiency of printing output, especially, in finishing process in an apparatus that includes a fuser member having a fuser nip configured to fuse an image on media. <P>SOLUTION: The method for the apparatus including the fuser member 120 having a fuser nip 122 configured to fuse an image on media 112 includes: a step of supplying a media sheet 112 in a media sheet travel direction through the fuser nip 122; a step of sensing a media sheet exit temperature of the media sheet 112 after the media sheet 112 exits the fuser nip 122; and a step of adjusting a fuser member nip width according to the sensed media sheet exit temperature. The fuser nip width is substantially parallel to the media sheet travel direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
