heater temperature

[jiongpao]

Hi all pro. Just curious about is there anyway or function available for lowering the temperature of heater unit for IR5000 or gp605?

[charm5496]

without changing the machine and how it works I do not see this being possible. I know there are things that can be done in order to achieve this, but I have not personally done them. What are you trying to achieve by lowering the fuser temp?

It can be lowered a bit, but like Charm asked, why do you want to do this???



Copier>Option>Body>FIX-TEMP

Use it to select down sequence mode.

Settings
0: OFF,
1: priority on fixing while controlling down sequence temperature to +10°C for all,
2: priority on productivity while controlling down sequence temperature to -5°C for all

Actually we are using 80gsm papers to do photocopy, due to leak of that kind of papers we are changing to 70gsm and it cause paper jam oftenly. We have no choice just to shutdown few machines and it hurt our business since 3 days ago. I hope some vip would give me some tips regarding on it.

When u use paper like that, expect jams- 17lb is lowest acceptable paper

But in ir3300 i saw fix-temp can be adjust from 0 - 7. Does it become lower temperature if i set more higher digit?

FIX-SMR
Use it to set the fixing trail removal mode in a high humidity environment.
Caution When ‘1’ is set, the following will occur:
• The laser intensity will be reduced by 50 V.
• The fixing film control speed is changed from 539 to 535 m/sec.
• The fixing/feeding speed is reduced:
B4: from 14 ® 10 ppm
B5R: from 28 ® 15 ppm
LGL: from 14 ® 10 ppm
A4R,etc.: from 18 ® 10 ppm

Owning the service manual would have answered your question. I urge you to acquire this basic tool for your job.

The only practical answer I can think of for reducing fixing temperature is to reduce paper curl, which is really a paper problem, not a copier problem. It does often help in that regard...

as teckat says, don't mess with the fixing temperature.
GP605 and IR 5000 are some older Mashines, make sure, that the upper fixing roller is in a real good shape, also the cleaning web, this tends to dry out on older mashines, causing a lack of silicone oil. If in doubt, renew at least the web, this is not very expensive and done within a few minutes (dont forget to reset the counter )
Last, but not least have a look at the seperation claws, renew them also.
