Abstract
Apparatus for fusing a toner image carried by a support. The apparatus includes first and second members, at least one of which is heated, which are supported in variable pressure engagement to fuse a toner image carried by a support passed between the members. A sensor senses the temperature of the heated member(s) and the pressure of engagement force is varied as a function of the temperature in order to maintain consistent fused image quality.
