Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are an electrophotographic apparatus for forming images on sheets, and corresponding methods. The electrophotographic apparatus includes a fuser web for fusing toner particles to the sheets to form the images, a sensor for detecting a defect position of at least one defect in the fuser web, and a controller that receives the defect position of the at least one defect on the fuser web from the sensor, wherein the controller positions the fuser web relative to the sheets to avoid the at least one defect from coming into contact with the toner on the sheets during fusing of the toner particles to the sheets.
