Abstract

In one embodiment, an imaging device is provided that generates and transfers an image to a print media. A bias voltage is applied to a fuser to charge the fuser where the fuser bias voltage is affected by the print media contacting the fuser. An image is fused to the print media with the fuser and the fuser bias voltage is measured. Whether the print media is in the fuser can be determined based on the measured fuser bias voltage.
