Here in the middle of the country we have had a lot of issues with high moisture content. open a new ream of paper and see if it still curls.

I see there is a service bullitin about putting a mylar on the side of the exit foam rollers. It does not say what exactly it is supposed to fix.

We have two of these machines that we just got in (low meters of approx. 10K) that are both doing this. The original delivery sponges are crap. The foam degrades & softens and they fail to deflect and decurl the paper exiting the delivery unit. I found that the delivery sponges used in the Orion series (MX-M364N to MX-M565N) are far superior. The inner ones are of a very dense foam rubber that holds up well. Luckily, I save everything and have a few sets from machines that got inner finishers where you have to remove them before you install the guide that delivers the paper to the finisher. Installed these in the MX-M266N's and Voila' the problem is solved. The stiffer foam sponges are installed in the inner positions.

great info as sharp dosnt even carry the mod rollers ...... been putting finishers in machines to fix issue.do you have part numbers for the foam rollers that work? I don’t have any of those higher end sharps out in field. Thanks Dave

The inner, stiffer foam rubber sponges are PSPO-0013FCZZ and the outer, softer foam sponges are PSPO-0005FCZZ. They are also much cheaper than these delivery sponges mentioned in the bulletin. When disassembling the delivery unit on the MX-M266N, be careful to not knock the sensors out of their position in the plastic frame - easy to do. As a rule, I do a minimal re-assembly for test purposes. If satisfied, I then complete the re-assembly, including putting back any plastic panels that I have removed. It's one of those "Murphy's Law" things.
