Abstract
A fusing apparatus in which particles are substantially permanently affixed to a sheet. The fusing apparatus includes a fusing member operatively associated with a back-up member to define a nip through which a sheet passes. In the operating mode, the fuser member is heated to the operating temperature with liquid release material being applied thereto. The fuser member is heated to a temperature lower than the operating temperature in the standby mode. To prevent the formation of a bead release material on the fuser member in the standby mode of operation, relative movement is generated between the fuser member and backup member.
