Marks Lead Edge to Trail Edge

azehnali,
My apologies I was called away on an emergency.
As you suggested I ran serval copies and stopped the image just before the fuser.
Pulled the IBT Drawer and rotated the belt counterclockwise.
No Marks on the image.
Seems odd as prior I had the marks on the image pre fuser.
Ah but wait I did pull the IBT Belt cleaner before pulling the drawer.
That shouldn't matter for this test, however?
So should I be looking closer at the 2nd BTR or
Thus, do I have a slipsheet failure in the Fuser belt?
 
I cannot see any external problems with the fuser however it appears to be the problem.
I ran and stopped over a dozen sheets at various stages and no marks before going in the fuser.
Once they exit the fuse I have marks.
Unit is very hot at the moment I'll let the system cool down and pull the belt tomorrow before starting the press.
Thank you all for your support.

You probably have dirt or derbies build up on the pressure plate called a slip sheet under the fuser belt.
 
Found it Slip sheet was shot.
Both wicks were dry, lots of buildup.
Cleaned unit replaced, belt, slipsheet and wicks.
Running like new and a lot cheaper than entire new assembly.
Thanks again for all your support.

How was that still running. Any time mine has done that it's stopped running in no time.
 
I think because I caught it quickly. Unit never presented any error codes or stopped.
Running fine now except the occasional squeak from the upper right corner.
Looking into that now.
