ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for operating an electrophotographic printer comprising providing an electrophotographic printer comprising a substrate transport assembly including a substrate transport member and a fuser assembly including a fuser member. The substrate transport assembly is operated such that the substrate transport member is driven at a substrate transport linear speed. The fuser assembly is operated such that an outer surface of the fuser member moves at a fuser assembly linear speed. The fuser assembly linear speed is a first fractional amount of the substrate transport linear speed for at least normal size substrates such that a bubble in a normal size substrate between the paper transport assembly and the fuser assembly is created, and the fuser assembly linear speed is a second fractional amount of the substrate transport linear speed for envelopes. The second fractional amount may be greater than the first fractional amount.
