IR 550 jams at fuser rollers - simple cure?

[Merv]

Well I just finished my thousand copy 8 page booklet. It felt like I was on top of the world. Cleaned the office (garage) and got all the spare parts and paper/toner organized. Was thinking, with my two spare copiers and this web forum, I might be able to stay in business.

Then I come back to my 'puter and see this gold trophy!

and these other comments.

Damn, this might work after all!

Thanks.

AND yes I have consumed at least six since the last post.

And to Black Cat - here is my Boy Rhythm's cat Chauncey

He wasn't lickn' his chops when we took this. Seems we have similar tastes.

Thanks everyone!

If you don't mind, Merv, I'll use Chauncy as my avatar when I tire of this fellow.
kingpd, If you got got a better shot of Rachel Lynn, I'll use her too.

I don't want to damp your enthusiasm too much, Merv, but your jamming problem has probably just taken a short vacation, and will be back. For future reference, for the 010B jams:
1) The heat roller collars are behind that keyed gear in your photo
2) The bed fan is located in the pull out section in the center, beneath the black rubber belts.
3) The fixing motor is the one in your photo. There's a new style motor available.
4) and to tell if you've got flat spots on the pressure roller, hand rotate the fuser with the pressure on. If you've got flat spots you'll be able to feel the difference in difficulty when turning. Generally it will improve, but not go away entirely.

Congratulations. =^..^=

My dad has the HD camera right now but I'll get some when he's done with it.

Sorry Merv, I forgot to post how to tell for flat spots. Thanks blackcat.
