    Re: stearic acid

    If you're still paying attention to this, you might have better luck asking in the Sharp forum:
    http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/sharp/
    The last Sharp equipment I worked on was some small analog boxes (something in the SF7300 series or something if I remember correctly), so I'm not going to be any help here.
    If you don't mind me asking, what is the stearic acid for? The machines I've worked on didn't call for that, and Wikipedia is somewhat unhelpful at providing an answer. Thanks!

    Same question. Amorphous Silicon is about as hi-tech as I get but Stearic Acid sounds cool, Might help me with the ladies (if you know what I mean?)

    Some Sharp MFP's use zinc stearate as primary transfer belt lubricant when installing new transfer belt/cleaning blade. I seem to recall needing to dust the entire surface of the belt, not just a small section. It's also recommended for ASi drum priming.

    As far as I'm concerned, I use either toner, or Precision Roller's drum prime: Precision Roller Zinc Stearate Dusting Powder Bag, Zinc Stearate, Genuine (A2000)
    It seems to last forever.

    Does that help? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Very helpful. The mothership got us 3M dusting powder for those applications, which worked well and had a very different chemical make up (I think fluoro-something or other). I'm pretty sure 3M hasn't made that stuff for quite a while, but their dusting bags lasted for a really long time.

    Interesting information. I didn't hear about it earlier. The thing is that I found this element in Alyaka content. Is it OK? I use it for a half a year already and found only good results. Very useful for my skin.
