Diagnostic Tips for the Brother 9130, 9330, 9340 Smeared Print or Creased Paper

In the past few months I’ve been running into some issues with the fusing assemblies on these machines where they are not lasting as long as their intended life cycle. The fusing assemblies on these machines are meant to last 50,000 prints before it gets replaced. In this article I’d like to talk about a few of the things that are going on with these fusers. Below, you will also find a link to order in a replacement fusing assembly and at the bottom of the article you will find a link to the illustrated instructions on how to remove the fusing assembly so you can visibly inspect the unit and replace it if needed.

Brother 9130, 9330, 9340 Smeared Print or Creased Paper Diagnostic Tips

1. Blurred or Smeared Print – The coating on the rollers have been falling apart on these fusing assemblies. This can lead to smeared or blurred print as the paper feeds through the fuser. Heat and pressure bond the toner to the paper in the fuser. If the outer coating is coming apart then you will have parts of the print that is not getting properly fused and will lead to blurred or smeared print.

2. Creased or wrinkled paper – Just like above, the outer coating of the rollers are coming apart. When this happens you will get creases in the paper as it gets pressed together unevenly. Also, customers will say the paper is wrinkled, indented, or embossed.

3. When I’ve seen this happen it has been pretty easy to troubleshoot. You open the back door and the fusing assembly is right there. If the coating of the rollers is coming off it is pretty easy to see as the roller coating is missing from the rollers and is found throughout the back of the machine near the fusing assembly.

In the picture above you see the reddish orange pressure roller and the white cleaning roller. The hot roller is not seen but it is a tan color about the same size as the orange pressure roller. In most cases, I’ve been seeing the hot roller fall apart that leads to other issues.
