Abstract: A fuser system of a xerographic device provides a fuser member, and a pressure member supported for pressure engagement with the fuser member. The pressure member includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is variably pressurized for controlled change of the effective hardness of the outer layer. Controlling the effective hardness of the outer layer can be in response to the media paper weight and/or image content being processed though the xerographic device.

Abstract: A printing system includes first and second marking engines. First and second fusers are associated with the marking engines, respectively. The printing system has a first mode of operation in which print media is fused by both fusers and a second mode of operation in which at least a portion of the print media is fused by the second fuser, which portion has not been previously fused by the first fuser. The second fuser has first and second fuser operating modes when the printing system is in the first and second modes of operation, respectively. The second fuser applies a first energy input to the print media in the first fuser operating mode and a second energy input, different from the first energy input, to the print media in the second fuser operating mode.

Abstract: A coated member includes a substrate and a coating layer over the substrate where the coating layer includes at least one of ferromagnetic and magnetic particles dispersed in a binder. The member, which is suitable for use in an electrostatographic printing process, can be in the form of a fuser member, a fixing member, a pressure roller, or a release agent donor member.
