    OK. Are the fuser rollers bad? See pic please

    Please see the picture. The lines are also on black and white copies. Do the fuser rollers need to be relaced? Or could it be something else? Could the rollers be cleaned? Thank you

    PS: There is no color blotching - it is from the scanner. The lines are vertical on the yellow portion of the page.

    the pic is low resolution so it is hard to tell what they are possibly coming from. What type of machine are you working on?
    Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.

      Uhhhh... I don't know... what do they look like, you're the one looking at the machine. Also, you might want to let us know what your working on.

      PS, the picture you attached is no help

        Man that sure looks like a fratastat valve failure if I've ever seen one, although I suppose it could be a canibbling rod problem........... or maybe its just that quality pix you posted with no other info?

                  Doesn't look like bad fuser rollers to me.
                  Something in the machine is making the paper hesitate causing the blur.
                  Stop it before the fuser and see if you have the same marks, then call a tech.
                  Why do they call it common sense?

                  If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

                    I AM A TECH and would say, CALL A TECH, it shouldn't be this confusing.

                    1. Have you removed the fuser from the machine and inspected it?
                    2. What direction is the paper traveling in?

                      Well if you had any idea of how to troubleshoot its easy to see if the rollers are bad. I'll give you a hint LOOK at them. Might help if you tell us what you've checked so far, if anything.
