Sharp MX-3115

[Greg Kinloch]

hope someone can help. I have a Sharp MX-3115 that is not advancing the web. Was able to troubleshoot that the solenoid in the fuser unit it not actuating which does not allow the arm to advance the web. Has anyone seen this?

Re: Sharp MX-3115

I have seen either the web get built up with toner stopping it, or the one-way bearings start to slip after time due to heat and wear. It's not an ideal set up in that fuser. Only one worse id the Phoenix fuser.

Have you tried adjusting Sim 43-32 ( A=0 B=50 C=3)? There was a Tech Tip back in '16 for the web not advancing.

Re: Sharp MX-3115

thanks everyone for the ideas. ive tried the sim and this machine has had 2 new refurb fusers put in. the web is not advancing which causes buildup. the only thing i can think of is for this machine it that the signal to the solenoid in the fuser is not triggering. ive never seen this before. i think ill head back and put a real tight spring on the solenoid to keep it engaged and see if it is infact something electrical. any other ideas are welcome thanks everyone

BTW, ive been in and out of the copier biz since the ARM207, is the Phenoix 2 fuser any better or the same?
