Read our review of the Xerox VersaLink B610.
Step 1: Open the Back Cover
The fuser is located in the rear of the Xerox VersaLink B610 printer. To access it, open the rear cover. Keep in mind that the fuser can be extremely hot, so exercise caution before touching it.
Tip: Power off the machine first!
Step 2: Remove the Fuser
Once you have opened the rear cover, it's time to remove the old fuser. Using your thumbs, place them on the black thumb holes on top of the fuser. Simultaneously, squeeze the gray triggers on the bottom and pull the fuser straight out. This simple maneuver exposes the fuser for replacement.
Step 3: Insert the New Fuser
Now, it's time to insert the new fuser. Lay the replacement fuser on the shelf within the machine, ensuring it's properly aligned. Use your thumbs to give it a firm push until you hear a satisfying click, indicating that it's securely in place.
Step 4: Close Rear Cover
Lastly, push the rear cover back in until it clicks in place.
Additional Notes:
Take note of the green sticker on the replaced fuser. This sticker serves as a handle to open a gate for clearing paper jams easily. It's a thoughtful design that enhances user convenience.
There is also another green sticker at the back of the printer, providing access to clear jams deep within the paper tray area. These features demonstrate the printer's user-friendly design for hassle-free maintenance.
