    Granules in Fuser Oil

    During my fuser tank maintenance I noticed granule sediment. Could not figure out where is came from till I pulled out the heat rod of the meter roll. Wow what a mess. I cleaned it up as best I could. Does anyone think that this sediment could cause random intermittent deletions that look like fuser picking artifacts?

    I have a variable athletic ticket book that runs on pre-perfed stock and with the ATA enabled...so it could be paper dust from the perfs?

    Every now and then I run preprinted offset stock but not too often.

    Auto Transfer Assist: another cool trick that puts the machine in transfer overdrive which may help the transfer of images onto textured stock (linen, parchment, perforated/die cut, weird stuff like that). I'd tell you how to do it, but then I'd have to kill ya. No just kidding: NVM 7681 set value to true.
