Fuser Roll Initialization - Xerox 3001 Service Manual

Initialization of the Fuser Roll
Purpose
Correct operation of the Fuser Roll requires
that the Fuser Roll be initialized by coating the
roll evenly with fuser oil. The fuser roll must be
at operating temperature as the oil is applied.
The following steps specify the correct
technique for initializing the fuser roll.
Perform the procedure exactly as written and
do not omit any steps.
Items Required
1 tube (8cc) fuser oil
1 pair disposable gloves
Heavy duty towels (blue absorbant)
WARNING
The Fuser Roll may be hot. Use extreme
caution when working in the fuser area
and do not touch any heated components.
WARNING
Fuser oil can cause severe eye irritation.
Wear protective gloves when handling
parts with fuser oil on them. Use caution
and do not allow the fuser oil to contact
your eyes. Wash hands after handling
components covered with fuser oil.
Initialization Procedure
1. Lower the Feed in Shelf, the Latching
Cover, and the Front Cover.
2. Remove the Oil Dispense Assembly
(REP10.9).
NOTE: To protect the media guide plate, the
fuser pressure plate, and the media
feed rolls from excess fuser oil, you will
insert folded sheets of media under
the fabric guide.
NOTE (Step 38): Use 2 sheets of either C or D
size bond media. Fold the C size bond
lengthwise in half; fold the D size
lengthwise in thirds.
4. Lower the front cover.
5. Connect the main power cord (if
disconnected).
6. Apply approximately 113 of an 8 cc tube of
fuser oil directly on the surface of the
fuser roll.
7. Raise the front cover and latching cover.
3. (Figure 1) : Install the 2 sheets of media
under the full length of the fabric guide,
with the sheets overlapping in the center.
