A fuser member adapted to fuse toner onto the surface of a recording
medium as the recording medium passes a nip area of the fuser member
comprises a electrically conductive polymer layer, a resistive layer, and
an electrically conductive layer. The fuser member further comprises a
current supply element and a current return element, wherein the current
supply element and the current return element are configured to provide
current flow through the electrically conductive polymer layer and the
resistive layer to generate fusing heat at the nip area.
