Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for fix level control in a printing apparatus.SOLUTION: An apparatus 100 is configured to transport a media sheet 112 having marking material 114 on at least a first side of the media sheet 112. Through a media sheet rub module 120 configured to rub a rub material 121 against the first side of the media sheet 112, a sensor 130 senses marking material 114 on the rub material 121, the marking material rubbed from the first side of the media sheet 112 onto the rub material 121. The apparatus 100 includes a controller 140 configured to determine a fix level of the marking material 114 on the media sheet 112 based on the sensed marking material 114 on the rub material 121, and allow the apparatus 100 and method to control the fix level in the printing apparatus. The fix level indicates how well the marking material 114 is affixed to the media sheet 112.
