FYI: thats *most* of the fuser for our main production machine, a Xerox Color Press 1000... other parts of the fuser are other places that they aren’t supposed to be too.

Got it where you want it?

The guest design on that machine sucks, that’s coming from somebody that works on them for a living.

Fused it? Damn near killed it!

My Dad was a service manager for Ricoh/Canon for 38 years before he retired; We used to get to look through all the wrecked parts going in the junk pile for spares..

Fun fact; Fuser oil makes tire sidewalls nice and black for weeks..

Coming from the Konica-Minolta Biz-Hub and old Canon machines I worked with before, these modern Xeroxes are a breath of fresh air... But they’re kinda like modern fuel injected cars, they’re so good at self-correcting errors that they don’t show signs of failure until they’re ready to completely self-destruct.

I meant to say fuser design not guest, that’s a whole new level of autocorrect fail that I’ve ever achieved.

I really like the rest of the printer, but the fuser belt seems to like to be ripped apart with the smallest of bearing failure.

Yeah, I wasn’t entirely sure what you meant at first...

The spindly design of the fuser rollers is probably related to belt auto-tracking... it gains a lot of support once the clam-shell is closed on it, but bearing a gear wear will all lead to wobbles that result in belticide. At least I don’t have to keep a separate fuser on hand for every width of paper I run.

the color and duplexing consistency of the 1000 with the full-width array is another class entirely from the other machines I’ve worked with...

Once they get used to running it, all of my customers love the full width array. Truthfully I have seen 1000 run stuff that looks better than the much larger and much more costly IGENs.

We’re getting a to a point where we are beginning to exceed the volume the 1000 can safely handle, and we’re likely to get a second 1000 rather than step up to an iGen for that very reason. We’ve got the newest 1000 in the state and we’re already ahead of the next machine on clicks by almost 1.5 million.

The added bonus to getting another 1000 instead of the iGen, is that iGen comes with 3 week training class for a new operator. And from what I’ve seen it takes another couple of months for an operator to really get up to speed after that.

WTF? It’s a toner machine, it’s not like it’s a Freaken’ Indigo... how hard can it be?

They train the operator to do about 80 percent of the maintenance on it, plus they do a lot of color matching training and setting up stock profiles. They assume the worst and planned the course for somebody that has never ran anything bigger than an office copier.

ah, yeah... if only my operators knew how to *FUCKING RESTART THE RIP* and din’t call me for *EVERYTHING*... I would borderline kill to have my people actually learn about the machines they interact with on a daily basis.
