Replace the fuser

The fuser is what melts the toner to the paper.

 Over time, the fuser’s wax rollers can become cracked, causing poor image quality. Typically, these cracks are caused by severe paper jams. Paper clips or staples can also destroy fusers.

Pay attention:  The fuser can get very hot. Give the printer adequate time to cool down before changing the fuser, and wear gloves if needed.

A fuser is held in usually by four screws, which are easy to remove. Before doing that you have to remove also printer coverings. However, you may need to remove the toner cartridge and several rollers before you can get to the fuser. Of course, this varies among the different models of printers. Just remember to watch out for the heat and make sure that you put the printer pieces back together in the correct order when you're finished.

The correct attachment of the heat direction and sliding paste is very important with the exchange of a Sleeves.

Installation errors can destroy the sensitive foil fast again. Therefore you consider please the following instructions:

- after dividing the fixing unit you decrease to the old/defective Sleeve
- surface of the ceramic heating element and the owner with white spirits clean
- grease thermal compound with small putty, best from wood, from which small bags take
- paste in 15-20 places on the surface of the heating element and owner apply
- the paste with a sliding movement evenly on the surface of the heating element distribute.

Note: At the surface of the sleeves no paste may arrive.

New Sleeve postpone. Sleeve by hand turn. If it can be moved freely, you can assemble the fixing unit again.
