Re: Konica c250i fuser belt oil
probably fuser oil.
im not trying to be a smartass, anyone that worked on wet fusers knows.
ive had a bottle of ricoh fuser oil for 20 years i use like WD-40. a little goes a long way.We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
The medication helps though... -

To add to that, fuser oil is silicone based, but couldn't tell you exactly what kind it is. If you are looking to buy some, just search for fuser oil and you should come up a lot of choices.A Ricoh Service Tech for 7 year. A Konica Minolta Service Tech for 7 years.

back from the 2 series when the fuser rollers collected toner id clean with a greeny (scotch-brite) and IPA then follow up with polishing with fuser oil. gave it another 10-20k while a fuser is on order.
the old c6500s when they had the blade flipping issue id polish the drums with fuser oil and polish dry. blades never flipped or sang one note.
also used to polish the platen glass with it on the old analog models and jams went away.
ill say this, if it wasnt for fuser oil and blanket wash my first 15 years would have sucked. havent needed it much in the past 10 though, maybe once a month?
this is what i use.

Re: Konica c250i fuser belt oil
Ha-ha. Us old timers use the same tricks. I also have a btl of Ricoh fuser oil that's around 30 yrs old. I use it very little but comes in handy to clean fuser rollers, lube squeaking fuser bearings, etc. It doesn't smell from heat like other lubes do. Although for fuser bearings it's only a temp fix, just to buy some time.back from the 2 series when the fuser rollers collected toner id clean with a greeny (scotch-brite) and IPA then follow up with polishing with fuser oil. gave it another 10-20k while a fuser is on order.

I remember using the fuser oil for platen glass but then started using rain-x. Years ago when ADF's would feed the original onto the glass, scan it then eject, it would cause a lot of adf jams. OEM's knew this caused static and after many years changed design so originals scanned over thin scan / slit glass. Faster and no static jams!Comment

Heh it was standard procedure. Remove original glass holding plate, clear mirrors and slit glass, clean bottom side glass, put it back in place, clean it, lube with some silicon oil to make ADF smooth operation.
