Abstract
Apparatus for fusing an unfused toner image to a support through the application of heat and pressure by a fuser member contacting the support. Release material is applied to the fuser member in a uniform layer around its periphery and across its length. When shorter length supports are processed, excess release material which may accumulate at the ends of the fuser member is redistributed towards its center by wiper members positioned at each end of the fuser member.
