Abstract
As print media advances through a paper path of an electrophotographic printer, the print media vibrates and a sympathetic response is induced in elements in contact with the print media. Rough print media vibrates more than smooth print media does. The sympathetic response induced by the print media advancing through the paper path is measured. A fuser temperature is selected using the measured sympathetic response. A higher fuser temperature is selected for print media inducing a larger sympathetic response and a lower fuser temperature is selected for print media inducing a smaller sympathetic response.
