Abstract
A multi-level oiling device and process for a fuser system of an imaging apparatus in which the rate at which oil is applied to the fuser roll is controlled with respect to the need for oil. The rate of oil application can be controlled depending on the release characteristics of the media being printed and on the desired glossiness of the printed image. User entered and/or machine sensed data may be used in determining the need for oil application.
