    Lights

    I use a USB led light - No need for batteries as most MFPs have a usb port and I also have a battery bank (pocket size) for when the machine has no power.

      Oh yea even with light I need reading glasses. I fought it for years until my arms wern't long enough anymore. Starting using them around 15 yrs ago and made a big difference. Doesn't matter how much light you have if your friggin eyes are bad you need glasses. ha-ha

      I always tell myself I would rather need just reading glasses then have to wear them all the time. Reg eyesight is good, thank God.

        Just wanted to add a bit to this thread. This is a common problem with the earlier 4e units that had the black rollers. The rollers were changed out to clear (white?) later on and the toner doesn't build up on these. For those that have experienced the buildup, it WILL return again.

        What I've been doing is LOWERING the fuser temp by 1 notch (I believe it is -5 degrees), and have not had any further issues with toner buildup on the rollers. I also haven't had any problems with toner adhesion on the paper, so unless your customers are running thicker paper at the wrong setting (plain), you should have no issues with making this settings change.

          Just thought I would say, was at a customer and pulled this off the exit roller of a BH364e.

            I actually just had to clean off 3 of the 4 rollers in a C284e this past Thursday. Very low volume machine, so this uint had never gotten my fuser temp modification as this was it's first service call; crinkles on pages and noise. Lowered the temp and don't expect to see that problem again.

              What temp are you lowering it to?

                        I have had this happen when they print a lot of labels setting the stock as plain. Get them to print labels as thick 1. (Or appropriate settings for other thick stock)
