Lexmark C734, C736 Fuser Replacement and Reset – 40X8110

 

Instructions for the  Lexmark C734, C736 Fuser Replacement

These new Lexmark service manuals can be frustrating. Some of them tend not to be very good at telling what the life of some of the supplies are. From what I gather the fuser life of these machines is around 100,000 prints at 3 prints per print job. That tells me it might be counting revolutions so if you print single page jobs it might not last as long or if you do big print jobs it might last longer. If you want to know, there is a supply menu for this item to give you  additional details on its usage.  Below find the  Lexmark C734, C736 Fuser Replacement instructions.

Newer Lexmark machines have more 80 scheduled service messages than older models. Now, I didn’t see it in the service manual for this machine but on some of them, once the fuser hits X amount of life then the machine stops till the fusing assembly is  replaced and the life counter is reset. Therefore, anytime you replace the fusing unit it is very important that you reset the fuser life counter in diagnostic configuration menu. At the bottom of the replacement instructions you will see the information to guide you through this procedure.
