The first fuser member has a first fuser member end () and a second fuser member end (). The first fuser member fuses an image on a media sheet traveling in a media sheettravel direction (). A fuser nip () has a fuser nip width dimension () parallel to the media sheet travel direction and having a fuser nip length () from the first fuser member end to the second fuser member end. The fuser nip length is perpendicular to the media sheet travel direction. The fuser nip width dimension is asymmetrical along the fuser nip length. A second fuser member () is rotationally supported in the housing and coupled to the first fuser member at the fuser nip. The second fuser member fuses the image on the media sheet.
