Abstract
A method of operating an electrophotographic printer includes the steps of: transporting a print medium at a first operating speed using a print medium transport assembly; transporting the print medium from the print medium transport assembly to a fuser assembly, the fuser assembly including a fuser roll; creating a bubble in the print medium between the paper transport assembly and the fuser assembly; determining a temperature associated with the fuser roll; and rotating the fuser roll at a second operating speed which is dependent upon the determined temperature.
