    SHARP 2300 2700 lever position near fuser

    Hi.
    Sorry for not the best topic but I do not know the name of the lever I want to ask.
    It is a really simple question.
    Please see photo

    My finger touch this lever. At the moment it is up. My question is how you call it and the main question is which position it should be (up or down)?

    Can anyone help or check in own copier?

        If they are thumping sounds, than you have flat spots on the fuser rollers.

          I'll second that. Is it a low volume account, or has it been sitting idle for a while? =^..^=
          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.

            Yes it is thumping sounds. How can I fix it? Copier was keeping in a warehouse for a few months. Somebody has to lift up this lever.

              If you use the copier a lot the thumping noise may diminish, but most likely you'll need that roller replaced. The fusing units on color copiers are quite complex. I would not recommend that an amateur attempt to disassemble them. Please call a technician, or it could cost you a lot more. =^..^=

                The fuser pressure release levers are pushed up for envelopes/heavy paper, and to prevent flat spots during periods of inactivity;
                if the flat spots don't work out after a couple hundred prints, the roller (usually the bottom one) will have to be replaced.

                  Thanks. I am not in rush. I put levers down and I will use it like it is.

                    As long as you can live with it and it's not causing jamming problems, it's of very little concern. Usually the only thing to keep an eye out for with flat spots is the severity; some of them can be flat enough to stall a page going through causing jam conditions.

                      How to check which roller need to be replace? I want to buy the roller and replace it but I would like to be sure which one? I disassembled fusing unit but I did not know how to recognize which roller is broken.

                      And I have got second question. Do I need to go to any SIM after replace the roller?

                          If you look at the bottom roller, you can see a nice thin reflected line where the roller is round, but when you rotate the roller, and you see a half inch reflection, that is the flat spot. You'll be able to feel it also.
                          P/N for just the lower roller is: NROLI1533FCZZ

                            I never heard of putting them up for heavy paper. I don't have many customers I would trust to put then back down. I don't even tell them about the levers. I got tired of driving 100 miles for a jamming call only to get there and find the pressure released.
                            I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

                              On the Tiger and Jupiter fusers I used to completely remove the envelope levers. If one is up and the other down, the paper wrinkles. If the levers are up and it's 20# bond paper, it won't fuse very well. And both of those machines had easily accessible fuser release levers, so it was very common to have customers accidentally pull the release levers and drop the fuser on it's corner, usually breaking off the attachment points. On a couple of Tigers I made up wire brackets to prevent those release levers from moving. Most endusers can't be trusted to handle a hot fuser. "It just fell on the ground! I didn't even do anything!" ( ... except burn yourself, then drop it?) =^..^=
