5045-001 Oil Soaking Symptom: Certain printers may demonstrate a condition that makes the top (leading) edge of the first page appear to have been dipped in oil. This oil stain is not to be confused with random oil spots. The soaking may be so small as to be unnoticeable, except in certain areas across the leading edge of the page. It may be as severe as covering the top 3/4 of the page. This occurs with printers that are left idle for long periods with "Power Saver" off. The factory default is "Power Saver" ON, set for 30 minutes. This means that the printer will enter power saver mode within 30 minutes after a job prints. Some customers object to this feature, as it requires additional time to heat the fuser prior to printing. This is minimized by setting power saver to the maximum (120 minutes) before the printer cools down. Resolution: • Scroll through the menus to "Advanced Setup", then scroll through to "Power Saver 2". • Turn it ON (default OFF). "Power Saver 2" works only with 'Power Saver" ON. (default). "Power Saver 2" turns on the fuser every 59 minutes, to keep it close to target temperature. This time interval is not adjustable. Early levels of microcode do not have this feature. • Call your country support function for assistance, prior to replacing parts. Diagnostic Information 2-57
