ABSTRACT:
A fuser release agent management (RAM) system for applying release agent to a fusing apparatus is provided. The Ram system includes an application member for applying release agent to an external surface of a movable internally heated fusing member, and supply source for supplying release agent to the application member. Importantly, the RAM system includes a heating and release agent redistributing member mounted into contact with the external surface of the internally heated fusing member for additionally heating the external surface and release agent thereon, and for redistributing and smoothing out the release agent thereon, thereby eliminating an interdocument agent banding problem, and differential gloss ordinarily created by areas of unredistributed release agent thereon.
