Fuser The average yield for the fuser is 150,000 pages. The fuser uses heat and pressure to make toner adhere to paper. Install a new fuser when Replace Fuser appears on the operator panel display to ensure proper print quality and to avoid paper feeding problems. (Refer to the User's Reference for instructions on replacing the fuser.) Note: When you call your Lexmark representative to order a new fuser, you may be offered the option of paying a reduced price if you agree to return your old fuser to Lexmark within 30 days. The representative can give you details on this return program. Like the printer's transfer page counter, the fuser page counter is incremented by one for each inch of each printed page. (For duplex jobs, each side of the page is counted separately.) When the counter reaches 150,000 pages, the printer displays the Replace Fuser message. Replace the fuser to clear the message, or press Go on the operator panel to continue printing until the fuser can be replaced. The fuser page counter continues to increment even after the Replace Fuser message has been displayed, so it is important to reset the counter to zero once you replace the fuser. This clears the message from the operator panel display and ensures the printer alerts you when it is again time to replace the fuser. See the User's Reference for details about resetting the fuser page counter. Printer consumables 144
