The heated stripper finger assembly includes (a) at least one baffle forming part of a sheet path; (b) a finger shaft having a first end attached to the at least one baffle and a second distal end for forming a sheet directing angle with the surface of the moving heated fusing member; (c) a heated finger tip located at the second distal end of the finger shaft for contacting a surface of the moving heated fusing member to strip the toner image carrying copy sheets without toner building up on the heated finger tip; and (d) a heating element connected to the heated finger tip and to a heat source for controlling a temperature of the heated finger tip at a desired level. |
