Abstract
An image forming system (210) includes an engine controller (60) and memory device (152) with a power supply (162) supporting a 220 volt, 120 volt or 100 volt level. A fuser control capability indicator (164) is read by the engine controller (60) in order to determine the fuse control capabilities supported by the power supply (162) and, in conjunction, with a geographic region indicator of the system (210), a determination is made as to the appropriate fuser control process to adopt based on the geographic region in which the system (210) is used.
