    hi friends,

    If you are experiencing condensation on the drum every morning, then you might want to consider keeping the copier in a climate controlled room. Or maybe just put a space heater near the machine when the weather is cold. By the way, don't put the space heater on the same circuit as the copier.
    But I'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard... to be the Shepherd.

      I don't know if they're still available, but you might seek out the drawer heater option.

      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

        Hi,
        I seem to remember we had a couple of these with condensation in the morning but if I remember right it was built up on the side door guide fins and left streaks across the first few prints.
        we told the customer to wake the m/c up when they arrived at the office and let it sit for 10 mins or so before using it. may be a option to try or as Blackcat says buy a heater.

          drum moisture

          I have seen condensation on optics when environment becomes supercooled in A.M. when the AC is turned on, when Humidity is high; but not on drum. But room environment has to be adjusted. I don't know if the draw warmers would solve this . Machine is supposed to be kept in stable temp/humid. environment to function properly

            Try replacing Drum and see if it makes a difference

              I'm interested to know what the "fix" was... I'm guessing it was in a non-climate controlled environment.
