Instructions for the  Lexmark C540, C543, C544 Fuser Replacement

I tried to find information about this unit so I could give the life cycle of the fusing assembly but it doesn’t seem to really have one. I know these are on the smaller end of their color line so it might not have a real maintenance cycle and it is not the easiest thing to get out of the machine compared to some other models. Anyway, if you want  the  Lexmark C540, C543, C544 Fuser Replacement and Reset instructions then read on. Placed periodically in this article are links to purchase a new fusing assembly if you decide that is what needs to be done.

• Be careful not to bump into the fuser exit sensor on the left side.
• When reinstalling on the right side, make sure the gears mesh.
• Reroute the cables back through their retainers.
