Imagistics FX2100 Fuser Replacement Procedure LM2579001

Below you will find the illustrated instructions for the Imagistics FX2100 Fuser Replacement Procedure. These machines are old enough that they don’t really have a fuser life rating. Putting 100,000 prints on these shouldn’t be a problem. We still use one in our office and it runs around 125,000 to 150,000 on a fuser and that is using compatible toner cartridges.

Ghosting or a scratched fuser hot roller is the main failure I see on these units. If it gets old enough, you might run into broken hot roller gears. Anyway, below you will find the replacement instructions. Also, you will find links to order in a replacement fuser and at the bottom of the article you will find links to some replacement models.

6. NCU (MFC-8440/8840D/8840DN only)
Note : I’m not 100% sure if this part needs to be removed. I think it does in order to get to one of the fuser screws. If you do need to remove it, I think it doesn’t have to be fully removed, just enough to get to the screw and maneuver the fuser out of the unit.
(1) Disconnect the connector.
