HP 3500 Service Manual - Page 231

Supplies NOTE The customer replaces print cartridges, the fuser, and the transfer unit as they are depleted. Chapter 4 explains when to replace supplies and provides instructions on replacing them. The printer tracks the amount of use on the customer-replaceable supplies by keeping a page count. Swapping supplies between printers might cause a misrepresentation of supply life values and is not recommended. If you replace either the fuser or the transfer unit when servicing the printer, and these supplies have not yet reached the end of their estimated life, you must reset the page count for these supplies through the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu on the control panel. See Fuser replacement configuration and Transfer unit (ITB assembly) replacement configuration for instructions on resetting the transfer unit and fuser counts. Table 6-2.
