Instructions for the Okidata C5500, C5800, C6100 Replace Fuser Message

Like most these Okidata Color machines thee 43363201 fusing assembly is rated at around 60,000 prints. This can depend slightly on the size of paper used. The machine will come up and give you a warning that the fuser life is about up then eventually, when the life is up the machine will stop working and give you a replace fuser message. The fusing assemblies have a fuse in them that blows the first time you turn on the unit. Therefore it is important to only install a new fuser when you plan on replacing it. If you put in a used fuser to take care of the replace fuser message, it will not go away because the fuse in the used fuser has already been blown.
