Abstract
An improved fusing apparatus including a baffle assembly having at least one member for imparting an arcuate-shaped profile in a sheet of recording substrate subsequent to the transport thereof through a fuser nip. The arcuate-shaped profile is imparted along a generally central axis of the recording substrate, substantially perpendicular to the path of movement thereof, providing lateral strength to the substrate for eliminating the formation of longitudinal waves therein.
