Abstract
A technique of adjusting the operation of a fuser in accordance with the size and orientation of copy sheets being fused. A controller includes a table in memory for storing fuser operation data related to given copy sheet size and orientation and tracks the operation of the fuser by determining the size and orientation of copy sheets being delivered to the fuser, scanning the table in memory to locate size and orientation identifiers and fuser operation data, and adjusts the operation of the fuser in accordance with the operation data by counting the number of copies being fused and placing the machine in idle for a given period of time upon reaching a predetermined copy count.
