Abstract

Electrophotographic imaging methods include providing a fusing device operationally characterized by a fusing speed, a fusing temperature, and a fusing pressure. The fusing speed is controlled as a function of the fusing temperature, while the fusing pressure is controlled as a function of the fusing speed, and the fusing temperature is controlled as a function of the fusing speed and the fusing pressure.
