BH-C-360, water drops in fuser

[Hansoon]

BH-C-360 is having fuser jams regularly because humidity in the paper is condensing in the fuser unit. Besides of the quality of the paper, are there any mods to avoid water condensing in the fuser unit?

Maybe don't stock paper tray so full that it has time to soak moisture

Have been through that already, not the cause in this case. Opening a brand new ream of paper (rotten-) within 30 prints water is condensing in the fuser. Office has normal climate, heaters are on.

Maybe try another fuser?

I live in the deep south right on the gulf and I have never seen drops of water from the paper. I'm not saying that I don't believe you but that's incredible. And how can water get into every fresh ream of paper? I've just never seen it. In any event, the problem is in the paper, not the machine, IMHO.

I've seen droplets of condensation in vertical sections many times.
I've turned off sleep mode and set power save to the max.
Usually keeps the machine warm enough NOT to collect condensation.

Maybe I misunderstood. Is he saying the condensation is in the machine or the paper? I understood him to be talking about the paper. Yes, I've seen condensation inside the machine.

If he has condensation inside the machine he should be able dry it out and the machine should run correctly for a little while. And from that point he's gonna have to figure out what's causing it. Severe temperature changes in the room will cause it. Perhaps they turn the heat/air off overnight?

For this situation, you can set a daily timer to start the machine ~3 hours before the first person arrives in the office. Then set the sleep timer to keep the machine awake during this time. =^..^=

fwiw the c360 expired last December. no support, no parts being made.
dead model. hell even my manuals for it are from 2011.
last nail in coffin is it likely wont support SMBv2
there is a firmware that supports smb v1 and this is a quote from the bulletin.
i know this has little to do with your droplet issue, just dont want to see you invest money on a dead/dying horse.

Re: BH-C-360, water drops in fuser

how about installing a heater in the bottom of the machine? when we have machines in damp conditions we install a little
heater like this HPG-1/11-60X35-100-240 | Heating Element | RS Components

Agree.
Offtopic: I dismantled several old Tosh 1360/1370 years ago and these little beauty had what I believe is built heater inside. They were gorgeous machines.

Don't the bigger Konica have built in heaters?

Had exactly this issue at only one customer before. Never seen it that bad before on any other machine also C360.
Jams plagued the machine. Must be environmental. If there is an air conditioner there set it to dry mode.

Please keep us posted.

Try the power save off option as per Synthohol.

Wonder if anti-fog spay for windscreens would be of any use here...
