Installation of a fuser film sleeve (teflon) foil

The correct attachment of the heat direction and sliding paste is very important with the exchange of a Sleeves.

Installation errors can destroy the sensitive foil fast again. Therefore you consider please the following instructions:

- after dividing the fixing unit you decrease to the old/defective Sleeve
- surface of the ceramic heating element and the owner with white spirits clean
- grease thermal compound with small putty, best from wood, from which small bags take
- paste in 15-20 places on the surface of the heating element and owner apply
- the paste with a sliding movement evenly on the surface of the heating element distribute.

Note: At the surface of the sleeves no paste may arrive.

New Sleeve postpone. Sleeve by hand turn. If it can be moved freely, you can assemble the fixing unit again.

Printer fuser film sleeve

This blog talks about printer technology, specially about printer fuser film sleeves. I decided to wrote this blog because a failure went to my printer. Then I decided to search what's wrong and found that extensive use of the printer, especially with a low quality materials may result in eventual tearing of the delicate fuser (teflon) film sleeve, and thereafter the printouts are distorted. That happened to my HP Laserjet 1010.
