Replacing the Fuser Unit
The life of the fuser unit is approximately 50,000 black and
color pages. When the life span of the fuser unit has expired,
the printer will stop printing until a new fuser unit is placed into the
printer.
The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer,
indicating the fuser unit needs to be replaced. Also, if you use
the CLP-600N, the display on the control panel shows the error
message, “Replace Fuser”. At this stage, replace the fuser unit.
N OTE : The life span of the fuser unit May be affected by
operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size.
To replace the fuser unit:
1
Turn the printer off, then wait a few minutes for the printer
to cool.
2
Using the handle, completely open the access door.
C AUTION :
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum, on the front
of each toner cartridge with your hands or any other
material. Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid
touching this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer
belt.
• If you leave the access door open for more than a few
minutes, the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will
cause damage to the OPC drum. Close the access door
should the installation need to be halted for any reason.
3
Open the top cover.
4
Using a copper coin or a screwdriver, remove the two
screws on both sides of the fuser unit. Then using the
handle, pull the fuser unit straight out.
5
Unpack a new fuser unit and insert it into the printer.
6
Tighten the two screws.
7
After making sure that the access door is open, close the
top cover. Make sure that it is securely latched.
8
Close the access door firmly.
C AUTION : If the top cover and access door are not completely
closed, the printer will not operate.
9
Reconnect the power cord and cables and then turn the
printer on.
