Checking and cleaning of fuser roller and pressure roller

1. Handling precautions

Do not leave oil (fingerprints, etc.) on the fuser roller.

fuser roller. In case there is any scratch which may cause a printing problem or the coating of the

roller is removed, replace the roller.

Clean the thermistor and check proper contact with the fuser roller.

Check the fused condition of the toner image.
