A multifunction air knife for stripping a sheet from a fusing member. The air knife includes a manifold (400) connected to an air supply source and has an outlet (400,402) which directs a flow of air across a sheet path adjacent the fuser (60). The airflow is controlled so that for lighter weight sheets (52) there is an initial burst of air and then a lesser continuous stream to prevent the light sheets (52) from retacking to the fuser member (60). <IMAGE>
