[Misc] Sharp machines curling paper

[Leebs14]

I look after a number of mx2310, 3111, 2314 machines and a common complaint I am getting is that the paper comes out curly. I've tried turning the paper over and even using better quality paper but it seems using 80gsm standard copier bond paper these machines make it curl on exit.

Am I missing something?

is it on all types of paper?

Just normal white plain copier paper. I've tried 5 different manufacturers and the results are the same

Sounds like paper moisture.

Re: Sharp machines curling paper

I would agree but I've seen this problem at 20+ customer sites with these machines and they all can't be suffering from paper moisture

Re: Sharp machines curling paper

could be the heat on the fuser temp is a little to high have you tried adjusting the temp or replacing the fuser?

Re: Sharp machines curling paper

I haven't adjusted anything as yet. I'm going to a new mx2314 tomorrow which has about 1000 prints on it and the customer has complained about paper curling out of the exit. I will try lowering the fuser temperature

There is a bulletin about the paper curl and fusing anomalies for some of the machines you are having issues with.

It has a very helpful graph for the range of adjustments to the fuser.

I have seen the same problem on MX-2301/2600/3100 machines here in UK.

Re: Sharp machines curling paper

we have had this on a few mx2310 and have replaced the Delivery sponges.

Re: Sharp machines curling paper

Supplied the customer better paper at a lower cost than they were paying and it doesn't curl now

The sponges previously mentioned do fix this problem for the most part. Paper can help too. Sometimes it can be fuser related, temperature and if the bearings are getting tired.

Does anybody know if there are exit sponges for the MX-5112/MX-5141 series?

We have a client who has trouble with double sided A3 prints...problem well known with sharp...

Looked something like MFP-TB-1202, but nothing to find...

Hi.
I have 2610N which does not have these sponges at all. Where can I purchase them?
