ABSTRACT:
A heat and pressure fuser for fusing toner images on copy media which includes a thin web which is wrapped around a portion of a heated fuser roll to form an extended fusing area. An enclosed cavity is formed beneath the fusing area, the cavity incorporating a moisture collection and removal system. As the copy media passes through the fusing area, its moisture content is vaporized and is condensed within the cavity, collecting in a trough at the bottom of the cavity. The water periodically drains through an outlet drain and is collected in a storage container.
