Tips on canon models

Thanks Teckat for your precise replay.
I have a problem with IR 4600 it gives always E61 every day morning with the 1st. copy, THANKS

When you go back, listen for the laser. You should hear the motor start to spin causing a high pitch noise when its turn on from sleep mode or when you hit the reset button.
if you don't hear it, replace the laser scanner unit for the E61.

Getting back to the WD40 debate, it works great as a penetrant, but it is not a lubricant. It helps free things up but after the solvents finish flashing off, very little lubricant is left behind. It is actually designed as a water dispursant, and can be sprayed inside a wet distributor housing to dry it out.... I know,, all you young kids have never had to work on anything that had an actual distributor installed in it. WD40 actually stands for Water Dispursant formula #40.

after reading all this i am wondering how my machines ran for such a long time. we use a lot of wd#40. hmm water....

I must say, I had a tech that told me once that WD40 was good to use on pick up rollers and feed roller plus vertical path rollers. He said it rejuvenated the rubber. I was skeptic with his tactic, but I tried it on a pair of some used feed rollers and vertical path rollers and it did what he said it would do. A little dab of WD40 on a rag and as rub it in it rejuvenates the rubber. You must rub it in to point where as you can feel the rubber getting sticky, it does not cause the rubber to be slippery and it doesn't stain paper either. It dries up as you rub it into the rubber and gives it that new rubber feel. Unlike alcohol, which dries up the rubber, in some circumstances WD40 on rubber such feed, pick up, and vertical path rollers has help me. To those who might be skeptic, try it first on some used parts such as, feed, pick up, and vertical path rollers. Trust me it works.

I agree. I used to think WD40 was useless but seeing is believing, it does work wonders on vertical path rollers, feed, reg etc...and for a good laugh use it on those orange/clear rollers from an old NP7550 doc feed.
It makes a very good cleaner and removes glue from tape and labels. Just put a dab on one of those old scotch tape remnant on a the doc feed cover and let it sit, wipes right off. Horrible lubricant tho.


Thanks MrFixit for the Transmission fluid as lubricant tip, I didn't know that but have been using it now.

[davidj7]

mrfixit: is there any specification for the transmission fluid .

I assume any automatic transmission fluid to have the same properties, non tarnishing.

i heard the same thing (WD40 or triflow) from my panasonic training instructer. Would not let myself believe that LOL. ima give it a shot soon.
Any of you guys hear of sel-sol? it actually has an oily feel to it, but that is what i have always used. if anyone has used both pls say what works better.
i already have a tube of tranny fluid in my kit too, went right out and got some after reading this post the first time. thanks for the tips guys!

Good point about WD-40...its not a lubricant. Very familar with distributors...little twist to advance the timing...got my class A mechanic licence in 1980...working on cars since about '76... i used to use ether spray to dry damp caps...if you owned a Chrysler you carried a can of it
