ABSTRACT:
A reproduction apparatus having a station for fusing images to a receiver sheet with a heated fuser roller has a release agent management system that uses an anilox roller. The anilox roller is made of metal or ceramic or other material and has a number of metering cells for holding release agent material. A doctor blade wipes excess material from the anilox roller and a donor roller picks up the metered amounts of release agent and applies the release agent to the heated fuser roller. The release agent prevents offset of the image to the fuser roller and promotes the easy separation of a receiver sheet from the fuser roller.
