Abstract
An electrophotographic apparatus having a wick roller assembly and a method for servicing. The wick roller assembly is rotatably mounted to the fuser section of the apparatus and is releasably latched thereto whereby the fuser roller in the assembly can be quickly and easily accessed for servicing. This eliminates the need for a technician to remove the entire wick roller assembly in order to service or replace the wick roller, itself.
