ABSTRACT:
A reproduction apparatus fuser providing for tuning of the fuser operating parameters to match the gloss of a fused marking particle image to the gloss of a receiver member to which such image is fused. The fuser includes a heated fuser roller, with a pressure roller in adjustable nip relation with the heated fuser roller. A mechanism regulates the speed of transport of a receiver member through the nip between the heated fuser roller and the pressure roller. A control device selectively, individually adjusts the temperature of the heated fuser roller, the pressure in the nip between the heated fuser roller and the pressure roller, and the receiver member transport speed regulating mechanism in an optimum predetermined manner based upon the characteristics of a receiver member upon which a marking particle image is to be fused.
