* 19. Thermistor
Clean the thermistor with alcohol if the toner or dirt is adhered on it while the fuser unit is
reassembled or disassembled, such as the case the fuser roller is replaced.
Do not deform or damage the thermistor during the cleaning. Replace the thermistor with a
new one if it is damaged or deformed regardless of degree.
* 20. Toner bag
Be sure to check the amount of the used toner in the toner bag before starting the
preventive maintenance. Tap the toner bag to even out the surface of the used toner, and
if this top surface is higher than 180 mm from the bottom of the toner bag, replace the bag.
Photoconductive drum defects may increase the used toner amount. Therefore be sure to
check the used toner amount in the bag when the drum has been replaced.
In addition, whenever fogging on the photoconductive drum increases, be sure to check
the used toner amount in the toner bag.
