Replacing the Fuser Unit and 
Transfer Roller
Recommendation for Replacing the 
Fuser Unit and Transfer Roller
When the fuser unit and transfer roller nears the end of its 
lifespan, the message [Time to Replace Fuser] will appear on 
the touch panel to notify you that it is time to prepare a new 
fuser and transfer. You can continue printing until the message 
[Replace Fuser] appears, then printing will stop.
The fuser unit and transfer roller is recommended to be 
replaced after about 100,000 prints on A4-sized paper (single-
sided printing).
Memo
• After [Time to Replace Fuser] appears, about another 1,250 
A4 sheets can be printed (simplex printing) until [Replace 
Fuser] appears.
Note
• Even after the message [Replace Fuser] appears, you may 
still continue to print by opening and closing the top cover; 
however, this may lead to paper jams and other problems. 
We recommend replacing the fuser unit and transfer roller 
as soon as possible.
