8.13 Fusing Failure

Do the following if the toner can be easily brushed off of the printed
test sheet:

Make sure a correct type and size paper is being used. See
Digital Laser Printers Guide to Paper and Other Media for paper
specifications.

Open the rear door.

Make sure the two fusing assembly levers are in the down
position. The levers are shown in Section 9.25.

Remove the fusing unit and examine the connectors.

Swap the following:

Fusing unit

DC control board

HVPSA/Fuser interconnect
