How to / Replacing Consumable Products

Fuser Kit

The fuser kit consists of the following items:

• Fuser unit

• Second transfer roll

These items are sold as a kit because they need replacement at the same time.

Fuser unit

Prepare a new fuser unit for replacement when you see a message informing you to do so.

Handling precautions

Always pay attention to the following handling precautions before replacing the fuser unit:

• Keep the fuser unit out of the reach of children.

Warning:

The fuser unit can be very hot if the printer has been in use. Turn the printer's power off and wait till the temperature has subsided before changing the fuser unit.

Replacing the fuser unit

Follow these steps to replace the fuser unit:

Push the lever and lift the printer's top cover.

Turn the two fuser oil roll levers inward, as shown below.

Hold the fuser oil roll by the handle and lift it gently out of the printer.

Note:

Keep the fuser oil roll in a safe place during the replacement procedure of the fuser unit.

If oil gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately.

Do not touch the white roll surface of the fuser oil roll.

The roll should always be kept horizontal. Do not tilt or lean it against anything. Doing so might cause oil to leak and impair print quality.

Replace the fuser oil roll by lowering it into the printer, making sure that the two side flaps fit into their corresponding slots on the fuser unit.

Turn the two levers outward such that they rest above the fuser oil roll.

Gently close the top cover until it clicks.

Note:

When the top cover is closed, the service life counter of the fuser unit is reset.

Second transfer roll
