Replacing Printer Components
2. Dispose of or recycle the used toner cartridge.
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.
NOTE: If you are using the duplexer, refer to ”Chapter 6 Using the Duplexer” and remove the duplexer
before attempting to replace the fuser.
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 front of the printer, and
disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Wait at least 30 minutes before proceed-
ing to remove the fuser.
WARNING! Do not dispose of the old toner cartridge in an incinerator or in an open fire.
WARNING! The fuser becomes very hot during operation. Do not touch the fuser until it is
cool.
