<p>A heated fuser member for use in a fusing apparatus for fixing toner images to a support surface is disclosed. The fuser member includes a heating element formed of a material which heats the fuser member to the required fusing temperature, and which is temperature-self regulating. The element is formed of a semiconducting ceramic material having a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity, and exhibiting a Curie temperature transition point at which the resistance of the material increases with increasing temperature.</p> |
