Abstract: A fuser assembly includes a housing having a front defining an entrance through which a media sheet with a toner image enters the fuser assembly to fuse the toner image onto the media sheet, and a rear defining an exit through which the media sheet with fused toner image exits the fuser assembly. A safety shutter is mounted on the front of the housing and is movable between an unblocking position and a blocking position relative to the entrance. In the unblocking position, the shutter uncovers the entrance. In the blocking position, the shutter covers at least a portion of the entrance. The shutter moves from the unblocking position to the blocking position when the fuser assembly is exposed to access by a user. The shutter physically blocks off the entrance of the fuser assembly to prevent possible user contact with interior components of the fuser assembly.

Abstract: A method of automatically configuring an imaging device to print on a media using one or more operating parameters suitable for the media is disclosed. The method includes receiving a barcode corresponding to the media to be printed on by the imaging device, determining one or more characteristics of the media using the barcode, retrieving one or more print settings to be used by the imaging device to print on the media having the one or more characteristics, detecting one or more environmental conditions of the imaging device, and adjusting the one or more operating parameters to print on media having the one or more characteristics based on the detected environmental conditions.
