[comp.laser-printers] LN03 fuser problems?

reid@DECWRL.DEC.COM.UUCP (06/08/87)

We have two DEC LN03 printers. The last time I installed a "user
maintenance kit" on each of them, it came with a new ozone filter that
snaps in place over the rear fan grille.

A day or two after I installed this ozone filter on each of our LN03's,
the fusers burned out. I reported this to the DEC people who are
responsible for caring about such things, and they tell me that they
think it is just a coincidence, and that the ozone filter couldn't
possibly cause the fuser to burn out.

I'm curious if anybody else has had a fuser burn out shortly after
installing the new ozone filter.

Hi Brian.  I would like to relay a problem that I have had with the 
ozone filters that DEC provides with the maintenance kits.  The rest
of the kit was in satisfactory condition but the ozone filter was
cracked and broken.  I sent it back for replacement and DEC sent me
another broken ozone filter (wasn't that nice :-) -

The instructions mention that the ozone filter should be examined 
before installation.  This could be the cause of your problem...

Hope this is helpful.
