    Any of you guys EVER seen this?

    Aftermarket separation roller newly installed 3 weeks ago. Now this customer and many others with the same type of roller installed are calling for paper jams. The PU material is so soft that the pressure on it is causing a huge indentation.

    Yikes!

    I remember that very same issue 25 years or so ago on Canon paper decks.(The NP6650 and NP8530 in particular)

    Granted, they lasted longer than 3 weeks, but not by a lot.

    And that was with factory parts.

    You did a lousy job hiding the manufacturer's name - was that on purpose?

    You should track down some of those older U shaped roller forms and hack that gel down to size. I would hazard a guess that the added support of the U bracket might make the indentation less prevalent, what with the roller/gel being formed to it a little better.

    I'm spitballing at ways to get some use out of terrible material. I mean, the paper is obviously too hard here...

    Katun stuff sucks. Why use aftermarket when OEM is less than twenty dollars for ALL THREE?

    Back in my Canon days OEM feed rollers with 150K copies worked better than new K**** rollers just out of the package. Complete crap. =^..^=
    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.
