A precision release agent management system for an electrostatographic
reproduction apparatus fuser device. The precision release agent
management system includes a reservoir adapted to contain a release
agent. A wick absorbs release agent from the reservoir. A metering member
receives release agent from the wick, which is supported for resiliently
urging into operative contact with the metering member. A blade member is
associated with the metering member to establish a desired thickness of
release agent on the metering member, and a donor member is adapted to
receive release agent from the metering member, and operatively contact
the fuser device to apply the release agent thereto. A plurality of
features is associated with the reservoir for precise alignment of the
donor member, the metering member, and the metering blade.
