    Re: C287 series common squeak locations

    yep, thats the bit we were working on, its high temperature grease from katun, normally does the trick so hopefully thats not the issue, I should add as well these machines are nearly new, less than 20k on them, how many has yours done? we have a lot of c227`s out and so far not had many issues (apart from these 2) It`s only one of the two that has come back in (so far) so maybe one hasn`t got as much grease on as the other (clutching at straws,lol)

    Re: C287 series common squeak locations

    this one had about 40k on it and it was in a dusty warehouse back office.

    I remember it clearly because I noticed their IT loaded an incorrect driver on the server and every single one of those prints was registering as colour, even though 99,9% of what they were printing was black and white. LOL. That first bill was gonna cause some outrage.

    lol, if it`s anything like our place, we would get the blame for that despite the fact we didn`t put the driver on, you`ve got to love customers.

    I take it since you lubed that section up it`s been ok?

    That was 2 month ago, it was driving the girl sitting next to it bonkers so if it made the noise again she would of called again. Though you never really know with this industry maybe she just doesnt want another visit from the morbidly obese earthKMtech. Either way works well for me

    Just wanted to add , ive had to grease up atleast 5 227s for that noise you guys are describing. Atleast its not a pain to pull out that section.

    On this range they also clunk when just out of the box.

    They have a flat spot on the lower foller of the fuser.

    eventually the noise goes as it warms up luckily

    This has already been confirmed by someone else, but removing that section and giving it a good lube has solved the squeak. Thanks for everyones input.

    I hear today they released a firmware for reduced fusing noise too ? Not sure what thats about.

    Old thread, but has anyone tried this firmware? I have a new install of a c287, it makes a fair amount of noise when doing the second side. Does this work? I was thinking it was a noisy motor.

    Since the smartphone revolution I am recording everything NEW that makes noise or squeeks. I personally haven't come across this one yet, but if I do, I'll post the vid here.
    .OK Google! ... will I need Berrocca this morning?
