WIPO Patent Application WO2001055792
Kind Code:

Abstract:
An image-fixing device for use in an electrophotographic process which includes a wiping member (61), (62), (64), (67) in contact with the back-up roller (51) of the fusing portion of the device. This wiping member has a high surface energy which eliminates moisture condensation on the back-up roller (51). This acts to eliminate stalls and paper jams without requiring major reformulation of the composition of the fuser belt or back-up roll or the structure of the printer.
