Summary:An improved release agent management subsystem for an electrophotographic system comprises a release agent reservoir for storing release agent, and a metering roll at least partially submerged in the release agent stored in the release agent reservoir, the metering roll for delivering release agent from the release agent reservoir to a fusing station. The metering roll includes a metallic cylinder having sealed ends, and an inductive heater located proximate the metering roll for inductively heating the metering roll so heat is transferred from the metering to the release agent being delivered by the metering roll to the fusing station.
