IQ 45 Wrinkle RAP

This procedure is used when the copy/print contains wrinkles or closely spaced 'waves'.
Initial Actions
NOTE: Wrinkles (or waves) occur when there is non-uniform stress in the paper while it passes
though the Fuser Assembly. These stresses can be caused by the following: paper type or con-
dition (old light-weight paper is worse), uneven oil distribution front to rear (OB to IB), differ-
ences in contact arc front to rear (OB to IB), and the type of image density (dark solid area
images, especially 2-sided copies/prints are worse).
• Ensure that the customer is using a fresh supply of copy paper.
• If oil streaks are present, go to the
• If the problem occurs only when printing, ensure that the image density is being controlled
at a maximum of 70% for each color.
• Rotate the original 180 degrees.
Procedure
NOTE: When performing the Fuser Nip adjustment, attempt to make both rear (IB) and front
(OB) values equal to each other.
Perform the Fuser Nip Adjustment
again and reset the nip to the low end of the specification at both ends. If the problem still
remains, perform the following actions until the problem is resolved:
• Check the HFSI status of the following fuser components: Heat Roll, Pressure Roll, Exter-
nal Heat Roll, and the Oil System (Donor Roll Assembly). Replace any item that is over
threshold.
• Ensure that the Color Gradation Check located in the Image Quality Specification section
of the Image Quality Supplement is within specification. If it is not, perform
Setup.
• If the problem occurs when the copy paper is being fed LEF, try feeding the paper SEF.
• Try using fresh 24 lb Xerox COLOR Xpressions paper (NASG) or 90 gsm Colortech +
paper (ESG). If the problem is resolved, recommend it to the customer.
• If the problem occurs only when making 2-sided copies with high solid area density
images on both sides, it may be necessary to make single-sided copies to minimize or
eliminate the problem.
• If the problem occurs only when using plain or coated light-weight paper, it is recom-
mended that a heavier weight paper be used to minimize the problem.
