Re: MP C2500, 3000 etc. charge roller mod

ok, crazy idea, i've been doing this a couple months now and so far no problem...this only works with the "green"-ish charge rollers:
take the white cleaning roller out, then carefully, VERY CAREFULLY, scrape the "green" coating off of the charge roller (best to use a knife, stuff comes off like "lottery ticket" scratch-off stuff). get it down to the white core, then buff out any remaining spots, etc with some Scotch Brite. make sure it's all clean then pop it back in (leave the cleaning roller out).
i'm also looking at removing the lubricant bar from the Transfer Cleaning unit as that seems to be the stuff contaminating the charge rollers. you have to leave the Lubricating Brush in tho as that is part of the whole drive for the Trans. cleaning unit.
i haven't seen this idea anywhere else in the forums so i assume i'm the only one thats tried it, but so far, so good!

GOOD IDEA! THANKS!!!

I need to amend my post in regard to the technique of removing the coating. don't use a knife/scraper (unless you have to).
I've found that a Scotch Brite pad and some alcohol (rubbing, not drinking ) takes the coating off very easily and leaves a much smoother finish to the charge roller.
