Abstract
A fusing system incorporates a thin fabric-like web to maintain copy sheets in biased contact with a fuser roll during a fusing operation. The copy sheets are introduced to the fusing area at an entrance nip formed by a blade member biased tangentially against the fuser roll. The copy sheets are fed into frictional engagement at this entrance nip, reducing the tending of the copy sheets to stall or buckle.
