    C6500 Fuser belt leaving paper size marks

    I have a c6500 where the fuser belt was just replaced last week. It is now leaving paper size marks in the belt and roller when they bounce around from 8.5x11 to 11x17 to 12x18.

    Not a very experienced production tech, definitely experienced to get my way around this model though.

    I do understand that some people say you should have separate fusers for different paper sizes. Is this true? Just kind of looking for some confirmation?

    Thanks in advance

    Usually this shouldn't hurt the machine or general function as long as we are talking about normal paper type/grammage. You might not reach the specified PM yield but I can't imagine that it decreases a lot.

    Edit: LOL - forget my post, I was talking about a Ricoh MPC6500 dammit

      Its a known issue, fix is to run different fusers for each paper size.
      Color is not 4 times harder... it's 65,000 times harder. They call it "TECH MODE" for a reason. I have manual's and firmware for ya, course... you are going to have to earn it.
