Patent number: 9075363Abstract: An approach is provided for reducing release agent transfer to a pressure member in a fuser. The approach involves causing, at least in part, at least a first sheeted substrate and a second sheeted substrate to be advanced through a fuser in a process direction. The approach also involves determining the presence of the first sheeted substrate at a fusing position. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a fuser member and a pressure member to engage to form a fusing nip at the fusing position based, at least in part, on the determined presence of the first sheeted substrate at the fusing position. The approach additionally involves determining the first sheeted substrate has advanced through the fusing nip. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, the fuser member and the pressure member to disengage.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Melissa Ann Monahan, Erwin Ruiz, Steven Russel, Jeffrey Nyyssonen Swing, Christopher Alan Jensen

Patent number: 8913912Abstract: An approach is provided for applying a release agent to a substrate having at least a first surface and a second surface. The approach involves determining a print job type for applying one or more printed images to the substrate to be one of a simplex print job type that applies the one or more printed images to one of the first surface and the second surface and a duplex print job type that applies the one or more printed images to the first surface and the second surface. The approach also involves processing the determined print job type to cause, at least in part, a determination of a release agent application instruction that corresponds with the determined print job type. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, an amount of the release agent to be applied to the substrate based on the release agent application instruction.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Melissa Ann Monahan, Erwin Ruiz, Steven Russel, Jeffrey Nyyssonen Swing, Christopher Alan Jensen

Patent number: 8831455Abstract: Methods include moving a fuser assembly with respect to a medium at a fusing nip. The fuser assembly may be moved back and forth, axially in a media cross process direction for registration distribution. The system may be configured to move the fuser assembly different distances based on a deduction of a current location of a fuser member in view of a known driving motor speed, and a time elapsed after a change in signal state. Systems may incorporate one or two sensors, and may be configured for axial movement over a distance of 2 mm or a distance of 55 mm. signature.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Nyyssonen Swing, Christopher Jensen, Melissa Ann Monahan, Erwin Ruiz, Steven Matthew Russel, Paul M. Fromm

Patent number: 8768230Abstract: An approach is provided for reusing a cleaning web to clean portions of a fuser unit. The approach involves causing a cleaning web supply mechanism to feed a cleaning web having a first surface and a second surface to the portions of the fuser unit. The approach also involves causing a cleaning web receiving mechanism to receive the cleaning web following a cleaning process in which the first surface of the cleaning web is used to clean at least one of the portions of the fuser unit. The approach further involves causing the cleaning web receiving mechanism to return the cleaning web to the portions of the fuser unit to clean at least one of the portions of the fuser unit using the second surface of the cleaning web.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Nyyssonen Swing, Christopher Alan Jensen, Melissa Ann Monahan, Erwin Ruiz, Steven Russel

METHOD AN APPARATUS FOR SELECTIVELY LOADING A CLEANING WEB IN A FUSER UNIT BASED ON MEDIA ATTRIBUTES
Publication number: 20130343773Abstract: An approach is provided for selectively loading a cleaning web useful in printing based on various media attributes of a media that is to be processed by a fuser unit. The approach involves determining one or more media attributes associated with a media to be processed by a fuser unit, the fuser unit comprising one or more heat rolls. The approach also involves determining at least one of the one or more media attributes meets a predetermined criteria. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, a cleaning web to contact at least one of the one or more heat rolls based, at least in part, on the determination that one or more media attributes meets the predetermined criteria.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2012Publication date: December 26, 2013Applicant: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Melissa Ann MONAHAN, Erwin RUIZ, Steven RUSSEL, Jeffrey Nyyssonen SWING, Christopher Alan JENSEN -
