Abstract

An apparatus in which heat settable particles are substantially permanently affixed to a sheet. The apparatus includes a fuser member having a supply of release material applied thereto from a chamber in a housing. The release material is a liquid when the fuser member is at its operating temperature. However, when the fuser member is de-energized, the release material solidifies. Baffles are provided in the chamber of the housing to facilitate solidification of the release material adjacent to the fuser member.
