1.1This practice covers a procedure for estimating the performance of fuser oil in an electrostatic copier or printer.
1.2This practice describes a procedure for determining fuser oil-related changes in the print quality measured during testing at specific intervals.
1.3Properties evaluated for all systems include odor emission, paper jam rate, paper wrap rate, paper crinkle rate, and fuser roller life.
1.4Properties evaluated for recirculating systems include changes in viscosity, volatile matter content, and surface tension.
1.5This practice describes a procedure for comparing the performance of a subject fuser oil with that of a control fuser oil.
1.6The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For a specific precautionary statement, see 8.3.1.
