Kyocera FS-3900DN Laser Printer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Sep 25, 2011

I have 5 Kyocera FS-3900DN laserprinters to repair. I've disassambled them. The only problem I've recognized the fuser rollers are run-down.The metal that can be seen in the rollers magnetizes the tonerpowder. The gravest problem is that the surface of the rollers are not balanced. There are hollows, and scratches that make the paper black-striped. I can't afford to replace all of the units.So I want to fix them. I want to remove the old layer and make it even by sanding it. Then I want to paint them using a heat-resistant (600 degrees Celsius) pigment. So if I do these things will the rollers still magnetize the powder? Thanks in advance! PS.: Sorry,if there are gramatic mistakes, I'm from Hungary, and still learning English.

I've never heard of anyone attempting what you describe, but I'm concerned that the new coating will not be even enough for a satisfactory print, even if the drum will function in the static retention.
Replacing the fuser is recommended:

Hi ,
I don't quit get what is your problem.
If you think that the problem of the streaks comme from the damages Fuser unit due to hollows, the you should purchase the sleaves and change the sleaves. You can buy it from web sites. Don't forget to buy the special high temperature grease that should be used. For 5 sleaves you can probably have a good price. There are hollows because the sleaves are damaged, If you can't get them from Kyocera you can check wiht the diameter and length and buy for another printer.
The purpose of the fuser is to melt the toner onto the paper. The magnetic properties in a laser printer is used to write your data to the drum and back to the surface of the paper. http://www.integral-toner.de/cms/item/Products/en/Parts/Fuser+sleeves.html may be they can give you the adress of a distributor in your country.

    I've send the rollers to a company that refurbish them to me.

    The links are rally helpful,thanks.

    Now I recognized the prescure rubber roller is also bad. (fixing film).

    Can I repair it someway?

  • pkwc Sep 27, 2011

    What do you mean prescure rubber roller?
    Normally there is a kit sold which includes all the titbits.
    Repairing may not work correctly. You can almost always repair but you may have fiability problems afterwards!

I wouldn't try this. I would be concerned about not only this not working, but also causing more damage to the printer. Refurbished or replacement rollers are the preferred solution.

    And may you have a suggestion fot the red rubber roller?

  • Robert Kitaji Sep 26, 2011

    Since you already have the machine disassembled, I would bite the bullet and replace the other rollers if they look worn or coated. You don't want to be revisiting this problem in the near future.

I really don't think this is going to work. The reasons are this, the paint will come off and the 2nd is the material that is removed will affect the magnetic field that evenly draws the particles thas print on the paper, so at best you will get uneven light and dark printing. I could be totally wrong and I know that in your part of the world parts are hard to get I assume (at least for now), so why not experiment on one laser printer and see what the printing results will be, if it doesn't turn out then you have no choice but to replace the drums or the printer. Good Luck
P.S. your english is great.

    Thank you for your helpful answer! You must be a thought-reader. One of my printers is out of order. I can attemt to paint that. I've found a company who can recoat it with Polytetrafluoroethylene. You know the frying pans are being coated with this metirial. What do you think, will it helpful?

    P.S.: Thanks for your feedback. :) Is it sounds so strange, and are there lots of gramatical mistakes?

    Same kind of poor 2 hand rating for the other Expert who tried to help you, not very nice of you to rate poorly and then ask for more help?? Is there a language barrier here? Maybe you don't understand the Expertss rating system on the website? Please explain.

    Firstly everybody got 5 stars. Then I realized that 5 stars equal the etremely helpful.
    I thoght that it would be better to give 5 stars to the person who give the confident, best solution.

    But it seems I was wrong.

  • Anonymous Sep 25, 2011

    I thought that "very helpful" means that "I really appreciate you reply, and thank you very much" and nat that "what an earth are you talking about, you idiot, got to the hell".

    I was wrong, I admit. Now everybody got 5 stars!

    P.S.: I haven't clciked on any hands, I've just clicked on the starts. I can see hands nowhere...

  • Anonymous Sep 25, 2011

    So you say: eg.: the "extremely helpful" answer was that, to bus a whole new unit that is three times more expensive then a totally new printer. I wanted to rank the solutions, to take the best to the first place. Your was at the first, and I said thank you, and clicked on "very helpful". Yes probably tehere is a landuage barrier. Please be as kind as to explain me what does very helpful mean in that forum.

    Thanks for your answer. Please enlighten me up. Are there any charge in a fuser roller? Or is it only for to trasfer heat and pressing? I guess that would be great if it doesn't pull of the tonerpowder from the paper. I want to reach that the tonerpowder stays in the paper, and stick there. My theory is that, if I paint it, will heat and press the tonerpowder to the paper. Now there are stripes in the roller, and they magnetize tonerpowder. Where there aren't any strip, there are no magnetize. The original layer don't magnetize the tonerpowder....

  • Anonymous Sep 25, 2011

    I want to replace the original layer with the paint.

    its made to take off the excess toner left behind from the drum. Wow! I think you need some true theory or thesis on how these things supposed to operate. There made to evacuate the excess toner so it will not cause streaking or aka lines of towner on the paper from the drum exit path. Your wasting your time painting these things.

Yes, it possible that it will remain.

  • Anonymous Sep 25, 2011

    Thank you! So it will remain in magnetizeing tonerpowder? Then how can I recoat my roller? Which material is used to cover it? Is there any way to renew it?

  • Shahzad  Waseem Akbar
    Shahzad Waseem Akbar Sep 25, 2011

    Yes, it will be magnetized. You need just a colour spray to re-coat it, there is nothing special material, you need to re-coat.

Sounds like a Engine firmware failure. The clue is the low page count (the 00007).
You will need to upgrade your firmware and contact your local Kyocera sales comany to get a patch to correct the missing serial number and MAC address.

Kyocera FS3900DN reporting add paper cass

The problem is with paper pickup rollers.They are at the begining of the tras.

Try to clean it, and try to rotate it.

If it's not moving then try to disassamble it. You will see there is a spring underneath the rollers. Be sure if the spring stands in its place.

Feel free to ask.

I have Kyocera FS-3900DN , it shows on the display error code (call service 6030:1022274) thanks

Hi,
This problem is caused by a poor contact in the fuser connector terminals.
Check both sides of the connection (in the printer and fuser unit) In most cases we will find small pieces of paper inside printer connector causing poor contact between printer and fuser unit connector.

Hope i was of any help. If i was, please rate me.
Thank you.

Kyocera FS - 3900DN creases the paper

If even a very small piece of paper is in the paper path it could cause this issue. You may need to have a technician take the printer apart to see what the cause is. If you can indicate exactly where inside it may be causing the paper to crease it would indicate whether one of the rollers is causing the issue or not, you may have a roller that is needing to be replaced. If you haven't had your printer looked at by a technician in a while it may be time to get a maintenance cleaning done which would resolve your issue and also indicate if there is any major problems going on with your printer.

Black dots printing on left side of paper

dots are usually always caused by the drum..drums are very easy to replace..(you don't even need a screwdriver)
here's how..
remove the unit that the toner sits into..it's called a process unit..comes out as a whole with the toners...
next open left cover..
remove waste toner bottle. (drum sits right above it!!!
next remove drum by pushing on grey button and pulling drum
out the left side of the printer.

as far as the jam message you might need to replace tray feed tires located up under the machine
