ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for fusing developer are disclosed. In one embodiment. a developer fuser has a first heating element for transferring energy. The developer fuser may have a second heating element for transferring energy. The developer fuser may have a controller, controlling at least one of power to, current through, frequency to, resonance of, inductance of, voltage across, and temperature at the first heating element and the second heating element, for fusing a developer to a media. The at least one of power to, current through, frequency to, resonance of, inductance of, voltage across, and temperature at the first heating element is different in magnitude from the at least one of power to, current through, frequency to, resonance of, inductance of, voltage across, and temperature at the second heating element.
