System for managing fuser modules in a digital printing apparatus

摘要

A fuser module (12), being a fuser subsystem installable in a xerographic printing apparatus, includes an electronically-readable memory (13) permanently associated therewith. The control system of the printing apparatus (30) reads out codes from the electronically-readable memory (13) at install to obtain parameters for operating the module, such as maximum web use, voltage and temperature requirements, and thermistor calibration parameters.
