LJ8100 Squeaks on output

[fontman]

Hello,

Our LJ8100 constantly squeaks when the printed paper is about to come out. Is there a way stop this?
Need help troubleshooting the problem so I know what part to replace.

Thanks!

Sorry, not familiar with this one. If you can, prop open the cover(s) and defeat the interlocks with some folded pieces of paper. Now you may be able to observe the paper motion and determine when the squeek starts. If I had to guess I would try the fuser assy. Do you have one you can swap? The other likely culprit might be the exit roller that feeds the paper into the output station. These are under very little pressure and not likely to cause any noise. How many pages printed? If it is near the maintenance kit count then it is probably the fuser.
