    IR 3100C flutes and crumples paper

    Hi,
    Can you help me with my Problem?
    This Canon IR 3100C flutes and crumples paper, did you ever had this problem before and what is the remedy ?
    Below there is a foto of what i mean.

    The owner of the copyshop is my brother, but he is to impatient to solve this problem, so i decided to help him.

    We had several Problems with the IR 3100C before.
    First Poblem was a E000020-0081, i cleaned the Paper Sensor after finding the solution in internet-forums.

    Then later one customer brought us some thin overhead slide to copy, that was a failure in my opinion. The overhead transparency melted in the heating roller and plugged the copier.
    It was a hard work to dissassemble the copier and cleaning it from the foil

    I think the crumpled paper now results of eventually damaged heated rollers or do you have another idea ?
    We also have not enough money to take a technician

    edit: some typo...

    Probably you need to replace fixing unit but not without technician!
    Time life for roller-100 000

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it

          That sounds fair. I would change the whole unit. Too many things can go wrong diassembling those but it's your decision and your time.

            I agree The unit gets deformed bent and buckled. Replace the unit and you wont have any problems for 100 000 prints.

              One point to mention that there is one issue where if the copier is left on or on stanby for hours at a time the lower roller gets a flat spot, this causes jams & smudging etc. Canon brought out a software update to address this issue, so even with a new fixing unit the problem could reoccur if this update has not been done.
