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
Note: The additional fuser can be stored in its original packaging if a fuser stand is not available.
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 accommodates 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.
