[Misc] C454e printouts are wavy.

[Barry97]

Print out is wavy. Tried changing the paper and replaced the fusing unit for a new one.
Tried adjusting the temperature and the fusing speed.
Cleaned the rollers.
Replaced the fusing drive.
Replaced the exit and reverse section.
Still the papers come out wavy.
This happens on all format sizes.

Seems like this happens after the fusing unit.

Running out of options.

C454E
(16) - A0ED811800Gear 22/23T
(22) - A0ED813200Gear 22/26T (COUNT THE TEETH ON BOTH GEARS)


ONLY EVER HAD THIS WHEN ONE OF OUR ENGINEERS HAS USED A C454 REVERSAL SECTION FOR A C454e

Is the reversal unit from 554e compatible with 454e?
I counted 22

yes the C554e is the same as a C454e

as i say make sure BOTH gears mentioned above have the exact amount of teeth.

on the C454 they do have a gear that has 22/27t so count the upper and lower teeth.

if you have a spare C454e or C554e reversal unit in i would just take the full unit and replace

EDIT: i have just checked the exit section gears and they are all the same for e and non e machines so would defiantly go with reversal section

Yup still the same problem. Is there a way to change the software settings for this?


What are the odds eh, if the units I am trying are all defective I did change the reversal unit. Trying the unit from 554e. Last option. I try an out of the box unit.

If you have the exit section out, don't forget to scuff the shaft for the one way gear before reinstalled

No finisher on this one.

Have you replaced the fuser?

Re: C454e printouts are wavy.

Have you replaced the fuser?

Well I tried newer one. Still does that wavy half of the paper.
Forgot to mention that when printing on both sides of the paper, the whole page is wrinkled or wavy.

I have only had 1 ever go bad, but what about the motor that drives the reverse unit?

Well I replace the reversal unit with another one from a 554e.

Can not find the issue with this.

It may sound silly but can you run it for a test without reverse section(I mean top section on right door)?

Caused a paper jam.
Still the fuser is causing the wavy page.

Is there any possibility if the frame is bent?
