Replacing Printer Components
Replacing the Fuser
The fuser melts the toner image into the paper to form a finished print. The fuser wears with nor-
mal use and can leave dirt or marks on printed sheets when worn. The normal life of a fuser is
approximately 200,000 A4/Letter size prints at 5% area coverage. Running high image density
prints or large format paper will cause the fuser life to be shorter.
NOTE: In the following procedure, the left and right sides of the printer are those to the left and right of a
person facing the rear of the printer.
Use the following procedure to remove and replace the fuser:
1. Turn the printer off by pressing the [ O ] on the power switch on the right side of the printer,
and disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Wait at least 30 minutes before pro-
ceeding to remove the fuser..
NOTE: If the high capacity stacker is installed, it is not necessary to remove it to replace the fuser; however,
removing the stacker will make it easier to access the fuser.
WARNING! The fuser becomes very hot during operation. Do not touch the fuser until it is
cool.
