Is there a way to actually see if it is buckling, clear covers on a laser would pretty cool sometimes?! I tried the stop test again this AM but they had already printed before I tried so no crease. They had a bunch of printing to do late yesterday
so I haven't had a chance to clean the registration roller yet, I will do that this AM.
Okay I am 99% sure it's the fuser, you can never be 100% sure until you change the part.
After around 10 stop tests, I noticed no crease entering the fuser. But when I pulled the paper out of the fuser there was a crease. Tried again and instead of pulling it through the fuser, I manually turned the fuser gears and presto, there was a crease! Having one overnighted as they need to print checks. I did pull the fuser and the red rubber pressure roller has some horizontal ripples in it that are difficult to see and they are only one 1 side, the side where the crease was occurring. Thanks for all of the help guys, I will post back after swapping the fuser and verifying it actually fixed it.
If the fuser was just recently replaced, I wonder if it's not seated in just right causing it sometimes skew as it's going into the fuser.
On this printer the fuser slides out of the rear by pulling a handle. During my stop tests I pulled the fuser out and the half a sheet sticking out of the entrance did not have a crease until I rotated the gears which pulled it through. I replaced this fuser 3 or 4 moths ago but it was not a new fuser, it was used. I hang on to some of the extra parts when replacing maintenance kits that still appear to be in good shape. I did not see the tiny ripples on 1 side of the pressure roller when I looked at it. Usually the first thing to go is the teflon coating which looked perfect on this one.
Verified fixed, fuser was the culprit. I wished all fusers could be changed out as easily as it is on this printer.
Thanks again for all the help guys!!!
