ABSTRACT:
A fuser, for a reproduction apparatus, for permanently fixing a marking particle image to a receiver member transported through said fuser in a fusing direction. The fuser includes a heated fuser member intended to operate at a setpoint temperature. The fuser member is selected to be of a dimension, in the fusing direction, greater than the maximum receiver member size measured in the same direction. For example, the heated fuser member is a roller. Accordingly, a marking particle image will be fused at substantially only one fuser temperature, and will thus exhibit only a single distinct gloss characteristic.
