Abstract
An apparatus for fusing print sheets, such as in xerographic printing, comprises a heating element, and a temperature-sensitive mounting for the heating element. The mounting changes a position of the heating element over the course of use of the apparatus, thereby enabling a more efficient use of the heating element and emitted heat within the fusing apparatus.
