Claim:
1. A fuser assembly for an imaging device, comprising: an endless belt; a heater assembly including a holder and a heater member disposed within the endless belt for heating an inner surface thereof; a rotatable backup member coupled to the endless belt and heater assembly for forming a nip therewith; and an integrated circuit chip including memory having stored therein fuser attribute data for setting at least one operating condition of fuser operations performed by the fuser assembly, wherein the memory provides the fuser attribute data as values corresponding to fusing temperatures for the fuser operations that vary based upon usage of the endless belt and wherein the fuser assembly includes a detack mechanism, and the fuser attribute data comprises a type of the detack mechanism and a value corresponding to a measured initial characteristic of a component of the fuser assembly, the component being one of the endless belt, the heater member and the rotatable backup member, and the value corresponding to the measured initial characteristic of the component forming an offset for providing the values corresponding to the varying fusing temperature.
