ABSTRACT:
A fuser apparatus having a pair of rollers in nip relation to transport a receiver member therebetween to permanently fix a marking particle image to such receiver member, and a retractable contact skive assembly for stripping a receiver member adhering to a fuser apparatus roller from said roller. The retractable contact skive assembly includes a plurality of skive fingers. A resilient member urges the skive fingers in a direction into operative relation with a roller of the pair of rollers to strip a receiver member therefrom. The resilient member is selected to exert a force on the skive fingers less than the force exerted thereon by a jammed receiver member. A retractor guide plate is engageable with the skive fingers when the skive fingers are moved by a jammed receiver member in a direction substantially opposite the direction of urging by the resilient member, and retracts the skive fingers out of contact with the fuser roller to prevent damage to the fuser roller by the skive fingers.
