    What you don't expect when you go to a machine.....

    Thought it might be interesting to see some of the situations you find when you step up to a machine.....

    So here's the first one...

        Getting this morning to a Canon IRC6800 (Canons best mashine ever build ), only to see, that a rubber roller got melted 3cm in between, thereby soiling the whole delivery assy

          That roller that's peeled had to come out of a high volume Ricoh color.

              WIsh I had a pic of this one, but did not take it, a Sharp AR-M 550, the silcone jell roller in the fuser unit came apart, into a bunch of little silcone buggers is the best way to put it, now that I think of it, a pic would not do it justice, them little things are pretty much translucent and would not show up on a pic.
              But makes a mess of the fuser unit, almost have to toss it and get a whole new one.

                Is that Sharp the one with the extra heat element that rolls outside the heat roller? I trained on those and then went to a company with Kyocera. Like them better.

                  Hole Punch waste throughout the finisher and all over the floor. Look inside the finisher.

                  Sharp MXM850 Hercules, client hole punches virtually every page. The cleaning mylar within the punch waste delivery unit flipped over, causing most punch waste to stick to the delivery belt and rotate back towards the rear of the finisher, instead of cleaning off into the punch waste bin at the front.
                  First service call at 500K, found all this mess to deal with as well.

                  An easy fix in the end, with a new cleaning mylar fitted, but I'm still amazed how much punch waste was inside that finisher!

                      Yep, its got a sub-heater roller that rolls on the lower fuser roller, and the jell roller is on that roller also, first time I ever seen one come apart like that.

                        back in the day I had to work on an ancient Ricoh that had the separate tank for silicone oil. Someone (client denied it, of course) tipped it over in the machine and a oily cascade into and from the machine onto the client's plush carpet. Boy, you know that was a fun clean up, NOT!
                        Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
