  • Resistive heater comprising first and second resistive traces, a fuser subassembly including such a resistive heater and a universal heating apparatus including first and second resistive traces
    Patent number: 7193180
    Abstract: A resistive heater adapted for heating a fuser belt is provided. The heater comprises a substrate, a first resistive trace formed over the substrate, and a second resistive trace formed so as to at least partially overlap the first resistive trace.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 8, 2004
    Date of Patent: March 20, 2007
    Assignee: Lexmark International, Inc.

  • Fuser control for limiting current draw in an electrophotographic machine
    Patent number: 6246842
    Abstract: A fuser assembly and associated method for an electrophotographic machine heats a first fuser roll with a first heating device. A second heating device heats a second fuser roll. It is determined whether a first temperature of the first fuser roll is below a first target temperature. It is also determined whether a second temperature of the second fluser roll is below a second target temperature. If both the first temperature is below the first target temperature and the second temperature is below the second target temperature, the first heating device is operated during a first time period and operation of the second heating device is inhibited throughout the first time period.
