and similar AX printers Laser Printers

Only want a specific part and already know how to install it? We offer all our Maintenance Kit contents separately at competitive prices. Find individual parts by doing a top-down search (by printer model), or by browsing our catalogs.

Fusers, like lightbulbs, fail suddenly. If yours has gone out, this kit will fix the problem fast.
It contains fuser, rollers, and complete instructions— we send you everything to get your printer running and restore print quality, in one convenient, competitively priced kit, with our 6-month warranty. Install a kit at intervals, too, to prevent sudden failure. (see other indications of need)

Check your printer's front panel lights to confirm fuser failure —

The printer doesn't complete start-up sequence and all three indicator lights come on solid [top down: Error (Amber), Data (Green), Ready (Green)], indicating a service error.

Press the front panel button to display the LED error code pattern. The code will show only while the button is pressed. The light pattern to the left indicates a fuser error (Error and Ready lights steadily on). To double check, turn the printer off. Wait 5 seconds and turn it on again. If the error persists, the most common cause is fuser failure, and in most cases fuser replacement is indicated. Please note: other items within the printer can sometimes cause this error, e.g., the DC Controller / Engine Controller Board.

Further indications a Maintenance Kit may be needed:

Poor print quality can indicate a dirty fuser assembly and worn, dirty rollers. A dirty fuser is likely to fail.

• Blobs of toner may appear on the paper from time to time.
  
  
• If a rough spot develops, a groove can wear into the surface of the fusing roller, causing a vertical strip of partially fused toner down the paper that can flake off or become a sticky "glue" that attracts more dust and dirt into the assembly.
  
  
• Dirt and friction are
  enemies that cause wear, including premature fuser failure.
  

Note: A maintenance kit cannot solve every printing problem. Other parts and assemblies may sometimes be required to correct less-common faults.

When your fuser is still good, but you are experiencing paper path problems, our Roller Kits can provide a cost effective alternative to a full maintenance kit:
