for longer than the specified length of time.
• Disconnected or defective Fusing Thermopile (TH1)
• Broken fusing lamp
1. Check to see if there is paper remaining in the fusing unit.
2. Check the input voltage and replace the power plug (SC545-11 only).
3. Replace the Fusing Thermostat.
4. Replace the Fusing Sleeve Belt Assembly (fusing lamp).
