Claim 6:
7. A printing apparatus comprising:
a photoreceptor adapted to print a print image by applying toner to print media;
a fuser adapted to apply heat and pressure on the toner on the print media to fuse the toner to the print media; and
a controller adapted to:
determine an amount of toner per unit area of the print image before rasterization of the print image by lowering resolution of the print image to a reduced resolution image and determining the amount of toner per unit area based on image pixels of the reduced resolution image;
rasterize the print image to produce a bitmap of the print image after determining the amount of toner per unit area;
adjust an operating temperature of the fuser to a fusing temperature based on the amount of toner per unit area of the print image;
cause the photoreceptor to print the print image on the print media using the bitmap of the print image; and
cause the fuser to fuse the toner to the print media at the fusing temperature.
