Oh, the good old chain driven days... DC-513z, 313z, 211/213/121/131 and so on... worked well, but a little noisy, fusers were way better with aluminum core/teflon coated. Been doing this since 1986... good times.. I do love this site!!

I can remember radiant fusers, The kind like on Xerox 914. Had to have a fire extinguisher near by when they had a paper jam.

Replace the fuser yesterday. I forgot how easy it comes out. Its a heavy unit. Its a shame it does not do what it was intended for. Its an easy machine to work on that much I can testify to.

On the A4 Kyoceras you will get the best results if you run them hard, as many prints as the machine can do.

Most of our machines are placed in situations of 5K or less per month. That's the worst possible scenario. A few have been ran to 50K, 60K, or even 100K per month. They'll run PM to PM in that situation. I used to read the specs and think: "That's ridiculous!", but it turns out to be true.

You'll also kill the machine in a year. =^..^=

I agree with this 100%. The best running one I had in my territory got replaced at over 650K copies because the frame was worn out and wouldn't evenly apply fuser pressure. It was the only one I had that made yield on all parts, over on some.

Warranty them until you can't, then rebuild them following some of the threads on here. Remove the teflon sliding sheet.

Hiya,
Are you removing the sliding sheet altogether or replacing it with a new one??

You will remove only oil pad and use HP grease.

Remove the Teflon sheet.

Excellent, how much longer roughly are the fusers lasting with this adjustment?
