Step 1: Power Down Your Machine

The first and crucial step is to power down your printer. Trying to replace the fuser without doing this can lead to a zero one zero error. So, take a moment to shut down your machine before diving into the replacement process.

 

Step 2: Open the Back Cover

Once your printer is powered down, open the back cover. Inside, you'll find the fuser with distinctive green handles. Handle the fuser with care, as it tends to get hot during operation.

Step 3: Take the Fuser Out

Locate the gray squeezable button on the lower left side of the fuser. With two hands, grip the fuser using the thumb holds and ridges provided. Squeeze the gray button and pull the fuser out straight. Remember, gentle yet firm handling is essential.

Step 4: Put the New Fuser In

Now, it's time to introduce the new fuser. Ensure you're holding it by the handles and align the two dowels on the sides with the corresponding slots on the printer frame. A good push should firmly seat the fuser into place, and you should feel it lock into position.
