    Hello All,

    Is there a way to up the amount of fuser fluid onto paper?

    Like an NVM adjustment. Just curious.

    Many Thanks

    That line on your fuser roll is not due to not enough fuser oil. That's an issue of your RDS for the fuser assembly being turned off

    Hi Milo,

    I'm not currently at work finished at 10pm. Is it located as a NVM ID then you have to tick the default value box in order to get it back on?

    Many Thanks
    Gavin

    Exactly. It will be located in P1 nvm in fuser switches.

    Hey Milo,

    One last question, If I'm printing on 90gsm Arrow Silk with very high tints(That Dry out the fuser roll quickly) , Would it benefit the iGen to increase the amount of fuser fluid on to the paper?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    Regards
    Gavin

    Are you getting constant off setting or is your fuser roll getting contaminated

    Fuser roll gets contaminated, Also sticks to the fuser roll. Causing the machine to stop.

    Only way to increase fuser oil is to change Metering blade with a different profile.

    Interesting....Ive had this happen.

    i attributed it to buildup on the heat roller, where a thermistor is. not RDS turned off. Ill check that if it happens again.

    edit, I also use a few problem papers... cheating their setting like calling them thicker... or coated sometimes works.

    Check and clean the metering assy. Might need a new wick and metering blade.

    On the free flow or Creo, do you try the print output order with Ascending? Because ever since I've done this it helps with the curl and also seems to run alot better for problem papers. Also prints before it's fully processed.

    Usually cleaning the entrance and exit decurler blue rolls will help with curl. If you are still having a problem with curl, there is a procedure to change a value in nvm depending on curl up or down.
