Installing a Paper Transfer Roller in a Fuji Commercial Printer

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing a paper transfer roller in a Fuji commercial printer.

Installation Procedure:

1. Open the printer: Carefully lift the paper tray and slowly pull it out.
2. Remove the dual unit: Push the lever on the bottom panel to release and remove the dual unit from the printer.
3. Unlock the roller mechanism: Locate the green locking lever and move it to the left to unlock the roller mechanism.
4. Install the new roller: Install the new paper transfer roller into the designated position. Ensure it is properly seated and aligned.
5. Secure the mechanism: Move the green locking lever back to its original position, ensuring the roller is securely locked.
6. Reinstall the dual unit: Carefully slide the dual unit back into the printer until it clicks into place.
7. Close the printer: Insert the paper tray back into the printer and ensure it is properly seated.

Important Safety Precautions:

Lifting the printer: Always use the built-in handles on both sides of the printer when lifting. For the paper feed unit, grasp the bottom and lift slowly.
Moving the printer: Move the printer horizontally to avoid toner spills. Avoid tilting, turning, or moving the printer and paper feed unit simultaneously as they are not securely connected.
Stable surface: Place the printer on a flat, level surface to prevent toner leakage.

Understanding Paper Transfer Rollers:

Paper transfer rollers are essential components in various office equipment like printers, copiers, and multifunction devices. These rollers use friction to separate and feed individual sheets of paper from the paper tray to the printing mechanism.

Typically made with a durable plastic core and a high-friction rubber surface, paper transfer rollers ensure smooth and reliable paper handling. The rubber surface might feature a textured or jagged pattern to enhance grip and prevent paper jams.
