wrinkled copies on canon ir 5055

[nick55]

aside from adjusting nip width, is there any setting that could take the wrinkling copy problem on canon ir 5055? machine is making wrinkled copies intermittentlly on letter size paper but not on legal and letter-r. any input from experience is appreciated...

check lower fuser roller bearings

[nick55]

thanks... i'll check it

[Herrmann]

check the fuser entrance guide also, sometimes there is some dirt or toner stuck on the plate, making the paper bump against it.

The grain of the paper is running in the same direction in legal and letter-r. Fuser bearings, bushings, age of the pressure roller are all prime candidates for this problem.

will check this thoroughly on next service..thanks

You can check and adjust the level of the fixing inlet guide, but the culprit is normally the pressure roller bearing seizing and damaginf the shaft on which they run thus decreasing the pressure between the fuser rollers, resulting in the problem you have.

ps The pressure roller come with bearings.
