Abstract:
1. A xerographic printing system comprising: a first marking engine; a first fuser associated with the first marking engine for fusing images applied by the first marking engine to print media; a second marking engine; a second fuser associated with the second marking engine for fusing images applied by the second marking engine to print media; the printing system having a first mode of operation in which print media is fused by the first fuser and then by the second fuser and a second mode of operation in which at least a portion of the print media is fused by the second fuser, which portion has not been previously fused by the first fuser, the second fuser having a first fuser operating mode when the printing system is in the first mode of operation and a second fuser operating mode, when the printing system is in the second mode of operation, the second fuser applying a first energy input to the print media in the first fuser operating mode and a second energy input, different from the first energy input, to the print media in the second fuser operating mode.
