Fuser Hints and Tips
Extending Fuser Life
To extend the life of your fuser, discuss the usage of multiple fusers with your Service
Representative. Multiple fusers provide maximum print output for longer periods of time
and ensure image defects on output are avoided. Depending on the types of jobs run
and their frequency, you may want more than one fuser available, such as the following
for example:
• One fuser roll for narrower paper
• One fuser for wider paper
Preventing Fuser Damage
1. To reduce 11 in./279.4 mm lines and wear marks, you may require the use of two
fusers - one when running 8. 5x 11 in./A4 stock, and the other when running 12 x
18 in./304.8 x 457.2 mm or larger stock. This is especially true for the graphic arts
people.
2. Image quality defects such as marks or spots will occur every 110 mm/4.3 in. on the
prints if the fuser roll is damaged. Defects which occur every 98 mm/3.89 in. indicate
a damaged fuser belt.
Fuser Paper Width Information
The press is delivered and installed with a standard type fuser that accomodates all
paper width sizes. However, the press allows for the installation of other fuser assemblies
and paper width types for printing specific paper width ranges. When installing a new
fuser, the customer can indicate that the fuser be used for certain paper widths only.
Identifying the fuser width type is performed by connecting the appropriate fuser jumpers
provided in the nationalization kit as well as attaching a colored fuser width clip.
Before using the new fuser, the system administrator must update the NVM width setting
values to match the specific width used for this fuser.
The following table defines the media sizes and width ranges that can be set for the
fuser.
