Subject: Fuser unit conversion steps/instructions/etc.

Stefan,

What type of copier/printer did you pull your fuser unit from?

What temperature do you set it to?

I assume you release the tension on the springs so that the thicker
board material gets about the same pressur as the thinner paper did?

Thank you in advance,

Ballendo
