    Unhappy question about fuser oil on ir-5020

    Hello,I was wondering if someone could help me.I work in a small printshop,and I am usually responsible for repairing anything that breaks.Our contract ended on a canon 5020I and the boss does not want to renew it.We have been having money problems so I replaced the upper fuser roller myself.
    My question is where does the fuser oil come from? I have checked everywhere, and I cannot find where it goes.Every other copier we have has some sort of container to refill. Please help if you can.

    The IR 5000 series uses an oil impregnated web to lubricate the fuser roller. There is no oil reservoir for the machine. The web will run out with use and needs to be replaced periodically. The web is the white filmy material that sits above the hot roller. You must have seen it if you replaced the hot roller yourself.

    I'm with Master SCREWTAPE on this, clean up the oil, it gets into the fixing feeder assy latch
    and causes error codes because the fixing feeder assy doesn't stay locked in tight.

    Other than that, clean the filters, change the corona wires and feed tires and you've got a great machine

    poster from this issue is not a tech./ u can't expect this person to start doing PM's with out some knowledge on machine/ advise is to keep it simple for now , then expand on issues if they arise later

    Smile Many thanks

    thanks to all for your help,and hope to be able to ask for help for future problems.
    I am not a copier tech,but I do work on direct to plate imagesetters which are very similar to a copier.
    I have a service manual that I downloaded but was wondering why there was no mention of fuser oil,except for the drip pan under the web. The service manual does mention to make sure fuser oil in on point of contact with the roller.Does this mean to apply some oil directly?
