ABSTRACT:
The fuser roller and heater rollers of the fusing system can become contaminated with ink and other foreign material when pre-printed materials are run through them. The contamination can create regions of cold spots, which in turn results in poor fusing. Other image defects may result. According the various aspects of the invention, a heater roller cleaner, method and apparatus are provided for applying an array of differential pressure generating areas to a heater roller surface in a fuser assembly while rotating the heater roller surface.
