F/W is up to date (or very close) on all these boxes.

    re: Rollers in your OP " these machines have (relatively) new Fusers " what is 'relatively' ..no page counts mentioned

    not trying to start a tiff.... have other users say they put in a new fuser .. only to get informed "well I robbed it from a used machine.

    Thick stock can kill a fuser as you well know... have seen some brands that it cut fuser life by 50-60% (samsux and brother come to mind)

    Needless to say, the wrong model fuser will cause poor fusing, 30 minute "Please Wait." intervals, and eventually wearing out the helical drive gear on the main motor for hours of continual idling. I was shocked to find that this customer had been running it that was for weeks. =^..^=
    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.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Re: e-Studio 457, not fusing...

    OK so just an update on one of these machines. I finally took the time to look through the service manual to find the fuser temperature adjustment, and lo and behold, it appears to have been VERY low... I used 08/2010 and the setting was at number "4".. if I'm reading this right, the default setting for that series machine should be "10"... omigosh. A difference of being at 160c (4) when printing vs. 190c (10)... wow, big difference.

    So, once I rebooted the machine, the offsetting was gone, at least for now.

    Will update further if necessary.

    Normally the latest FW will have these fuser temperature codes adjusted after update to address fuser issues that has been so many over the years.

    I wonder why it was so low? Good catch. =^..^=

    30 degrees omg . OC somebody seriously messed with that machine or if it was new blame Toshiba.
    I used to lower fusing temperature on my Toshibas to prolong a bit fuser life. But with only 10 degrees, maybe from 200 to 190 or from 190 to 180. That worked well for me but I kept close eye on the machine for a period to make sure fusing is proper in any conditions.

    Yes, thanks for all that guys... I should not have had to mess with this, but I cannot say if a tech changed that setting from when the machine was new, since I did sell it used to the customer.... Will be going out to another machine with similar issues today and if I find the same thing, that's likely a Toshiba issue, from the start.

    Re: e-Studio 457, not fusing...

    Went to the SECOND machine yesterday... same thing, machine set to 4 instead of 10. Too random to be a tech setting, so must have come from the factory that way, I believe.
    Gotta love Toshiba.

    Are your Toshiba devices connected to Toshiba Cloud Connect? If yes then you might have some 08 setting codes policies in place.
