Abstract
The present invention is concerned with an instant-on fuser having a cylindrical, relatively thin metal cylinder supporting a resistance heating foil or printed circuit secured on the inside surface of the cylinder by a high temperature adhesive. The interior of the cylindrical tube is filled with air. The heating foil or printed circuit is carried on a fiber glass substrate and the heating elements is connected to electrical leads extending through caps on the ends of the cylindrical support. The relatively low thickness, low mass fuser and high temperature materials permit a relatively fast instant-on fuser.
