Fuser hints and tips
Extending fuser life
To extend the life of your fuser, Xerox recommends the usage of multiple fusers. Multiple
fusers provide maximum copy/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 jams
1. Many of the special media types (such as all coated paper, labels, and heavyweight
2 papers) should be fed face-up (non-inverted). If they are mistakenly fed face-down,
jams are very likely to occur at the entrance to the inverter. Many of these jams can
result in fuser damage. Setting the media type by the grams per square meter (gsm)
is important. When selecting the media, note the gsm of the paper and select the
proper paper type (mode).
Plain Mode64 to 105 gsm
Heavyweight 1 or Coated 1 Mode106 to 176 gsm
Heavyweight 2 or Coated 2 Mode177 to 220 gsm
Heavyweight 2 or Coated 2 Mode221 to 300 gsm
Note
Setting the media type on the machine UI does not apply to printing from the
customer's desktop. If the customer attempts to send a print job and selects Use
Machine Settings in the print properties screen, then it is possible that the media
type may not be the correct weight in the paper tray, and may lead to fuser or
inverter jams. Therefore, it is recommended that the customer select the proper
media type from the print driver, and never select Use Machine Settings.
2. Multisheet feeds from Bypass: Fan the paper stack before loading it into the Bypass
tray to prevent multisheet feeds. If this problem persists, replace paper with a fresh
ream.
3. Running Long-grain heavyweight 1 or Coated 1 papers:
• 17 inch/431.8 mm or larger Heavyweight 1/Coated 1 papers (105-176 gsm) may
sometimes be cut Long Grain. Heavyweight 1/Coated 1 papers cut this way will
be nearly as stiff as Heavyweight 2 papers, and will likely jam if fed in the
