WARNING: The Fuser Assembly may be very hot and should be handled with care! Use the lifting handles on each end to avoid any contact with hot surfaces during removal or replacement. Avoid any contact with internal parts of the cartridge.
Damage to a work surface may result if a hot Fuser Assembly is removed and positioned on an unprotected surface. Place the assembly on a minimum of 10 sheets of paper.
Power off the machine. See the Related Content for additional information.
Open the Bypass Tray (Paper Tray 5), located on the left side of the printer, by rotating it outward.

Wait at least 40 minutes for the Fuser Assembly to cool.
When the Fuser has cooled, remove the Fuser Assembly by rotating the orange screws (on each side of the assembly) to the left until they are completely loosened.
Grasp the Fuser Assembly by the two handles and pull it straight out of the machine.
Hold the assembly by the two handles and then insert it into the machine.
Tighten the two locking screws (rotate to the right).
Close the cover.
Close the Bypass Tray, if necessary, and then power on the machine.
