Replacing the fuser on your Xerox VersaLink C400 or C405 is not complicated. However, there are two things you absolutely need to get right: powering the printer down first and handling the fuser carefully because it can get very hot.

The fuser is the part of the printer that uses heat and pressure to bond toner permanently to the paper. Because it operates at high temperatures and handles every printed page, the fuser gradually wears out over time. When it reaches the end of its service life, the printer may prompt you to replace it, or you may begin noticing print-quality problems such as toner that does not fully adhere to the page.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve serviced thousands of printers and handled fuser-related repairs thousands of times.

A “Replace Waste Toner Container” message can stop you in the middle of a busy workday and leave you wondering whether this is a quick fix or something that requires a service call. The good news is that replacing the waste toner container on a Xerox AltaLink C8000 Series copier is a simple maintenance task when you know the correct steps.

The waste toner container collects excess toner that is removed during normal printing. Because that toner has to go somewhere, the container gradually fills over time. Once it reaches capacity, the copier will alert you that it needs to be replaced. Changing it promptly helps prevent toner from spilling inside the machine and keeps the copier ready for use.

If you’re dealing with declining print quality or a copier that won’t operate normally until the second bias transfer roll is changed, this guide is for you.

The second bias transfer roll helps transfer the toner image onto the paper as each sheet moves through the copier. Because the roll makes contact with paper throughout the printing process, it gradually wears down. Your Xerox AltaLink will typically track its remaining life and notify you when replacement is needed.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, our technicians work with Xerox equipment every day, helping businesses maintain print quality and avoid unnecessary downtime.

In this guide, our printer technician Matthew will show you how to replace the second bias transfer roll on a Xerox AltaLink C8000 Series copier. The replacement process is also the same for the Xerox AltaLink B8000 Series.

When an office starts printing more, its printers often can’t keep pace. This is when organizations start looking for something that offers more performance without being a full-blown high-end production device.

The Lexmark CX952se is designed to fill that gap.

Positioned in the middle of Xerox-Lexmark's new 9-Series lineup, the CX952se offers faster print speeds than entry-level A3 models. It also offers simple operation, enterprise security, flexible media handling, and workflow automation. It's built for organizations that want a powerful printer that's still easy to use and maintain.

As a Xerox and now Lexmark partner with nearly 40 years of experience, our goal is to provide an objective review that helps you decide whether this printer is the right fit for your organization.

Have you seen the price of toner lately? It ain’t cheap.

And it’s because toner’s so expensive that many people find ways to squeeze as many pages as they can from their cartridges. However, doing so comes with risks. If you replace toner too soon, for example, it can end up costing more than you expect.

After servicing thousands of business printers across North Texas and Southern Oklahoma, we've found that many toner-related problems aren't caused by defective cartridges. Many times, it’s due to easily avoidable mistakes, which we’ve compiled a list of.

To help create this guide, we asked our experienced field technician, Matthew, what mistakes he sees most often in the field.

Below, you'll learn the most common printer toner mistakes, why they matter, and how to avoid them so you can reduce waste, minimize downtime, and get more value from every toner cartridge.
