    The TA 8000i fuser problems

    Around 75-100k the fuser seems to fail. Especially the belt. A bulletin was released last week 10/7 with new firmware to correct the codes. Anyone else running into these problems too? Just a bad design flaw of fuser units I guess.

      I've heard KM/CS put a bounty on any dmg belt.

      They want samples ASAP.

        Just had one fail last week... and of course, no fusers available and no pm kits available... had to scream like a banshee to get one located to get customer up and running again... received a shim in the mail yesterday that is supposed to fix the issue, we'll see

            This is a big problem also in the european market.

            During the rotation, the belt shifting to the rear side of fuser unit.

            The problem is the position of the adjuster plate of the fuser unit but at
            this moment I don't know the correct position of the plate

            I'm waiting a Service Bulletin about this problem.

              The problem is the frame of the machine. Currently there is a jig from the manufacturer that will properly align the fuser for longer life. There is no part number for the jig at this time.

                Yes I confirm this, I'm waiting for jig to the end of september. I hope that the problem will be solved....

                    You still need to adjust the position of the frame the fsr unit slots into even with the modified fsr units. I think there is only a few jigs in Europe, but if you carry out the attached modification it should be the same as using the jig.

                      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.

                        Don't get me started on Kyocera bulletins, every one they release I have to read a dozen times before I can make any sense of them..........

                          And what about this? My first thought is, "... don't do it like this."
                          They do not show removing the jig. Are you just supposed to leave it in there? It does not look necessary to hold the final placement.

                            There is no jig!!!! they are trying to show how to adjust the front side home position for the fsr......Take the bulletin next time your at a 8000i, read the bulletin, look at the machine, re-read the bulletin, do this about 4 or 5 times, then say WTF why don't they just say loosen the screws, move the plate untill it is at the correct position, tighten the scews back up. It takes about 30sec to do the ajustment once you have removed the fsr and about 4 days to work out what the fuck they are talking about in the bulletin.

                              So son, but not only have I seen the jig, I used it on several machine to correct the problem. How would you know the correct position to unwarp the fuser. I have no reason to lie to anyone. It is an aluminum milled block that fits into the frame and correctly aligns the fuser. It is not an alien,,it really does exist.
