SUBJECT: PAPER CURLING AT EXIT
SYMPTOM:
Paper curling
CAUSE:
One factor that determines the degree of paper curl is how well the group of 3 Exit Rollers are in contact with
each other. If the 3 types of rollers do not tightly contact each other, the de-curling function does not operate
properly. Please see the illustration below.
One cause for this is the bending/deforming of the Plate Spring when the customer forcefully removes the
paper from the Exit Unit without using the Pressure Release Lever. In addition, the Rollers can come out of
position if the screws in the Fusing Unit Cases are loose (having stripped the hole threading).
SOLUTION:
Ensure that the Spring Plate is not bent and the Exit Rollers are tightly in position as they should be. If the
Spring Plates are deformed replace them with Spring Plates (P/N A2504183/A2504184). If the Spring Plate
condition is difficult to determine from a visual inspection, the surest way to fix this problem is to replace the
Fusing Unit with a new one (or one that is known to have no problem).
