Charge Roller Change (Finally !)

[tmaged]

We ordered an MC-8705 and it subbed out to an MC-8720. The new charge rollers have the updated glue to eliminate the bumps & a spiral cleaner to eliminate the lines.
It only took them 6 years to fix it. Hopefully this does it. I asume the MC-6705 will be updated as well. I did notice they also did away with the gears in the end of the charge roller.

That's good to know...I know our Tech Rep was looking into that for us on whether they were gonna retrofit them for the older machines...I'm glad they did this....I dunno how many of the things I've been cleaning lately...especially at schools with cheap ass paper....it's a frigging blizzard of paper dust in those things....

Hi

This may be a silly question, but how did you determine or discover that glue is the problem ?


Thanks

Re: Charge Roller Change (Finally !)

By taste, how else could you determine it ?
just kidding, there was a bulletin for it, but when it came out, I thought
to myself, why not fix the cleaning roller also. Apparently they heard me.

The glue has been a problem since the Alphard 1 first appeared. The symptom I noticed right away was the spider imprints where it would continue to arc from the same spots, Do we dare hope that Kyocera has designed a charge roller that can make yield? =^..^=

Since we have a part number, now I was able to bulletin H042. It does in fact reference MC6720 for the mono machines.

At long last. Thanks [emoji106]

Re: Charge Roller Change (Finally !)

Finally some good news regarding the charge rollers. If they would only take advices from techs...

I would've traded better charge rollers for the ability to pull them out of the machine without taking that damn toner contraption off.

If these things work like they're supposed to, you will only need to every 600k.

Many of the older Lexmark printers had primary charge rollers that mounted inside the engine, separate from the imaging unit, and lasted the lifetime of the machine. So it is possible to make durable charge rollers, just not by Kyocera. =^..^=

Re: Charge Roller Change (Finally !)

The roller is a quantum leap from the grid/corona wire. I can handle some problems that can be fixed quickly. Kyocera is heads and shoulders above other models regarding logic codes, dimms, hdds and other non mechanical failures

Now if they would only improve feed rollers life...I'm not greedy....300k min. per set would be a nice bare minimum...
