Have any of you iGen operators been running into bad pr belts? I keep getting belts with a bad seam. This causes the belt to be indented around the seem leading to wire mod strikes and other image quality issues.
could be the igen itself. your tension could be too high on the pr causing the seam to tear or "strech" as the techs refer to it. and yes this tension can be adjusted just have to tell the tech you want it retensioned.
Wow! sounds like it could be a problem with a bearing that holds the rollers the belt rides on if it's that type of oil... if it's fuser oil then probably not. It could be the tension on the belt when it is set back to operating position, but if the belts are bad out of the box, just replace them and don't put one on that shows any signs of poor construction. They are mass produced by machines that can also get out of adjustment from time to time and the QC people should catch them unless they are sleeping
