Note : Every time the machine gets a fuser related code, it will not work until the code is reset through service mode. Turning the machine off and back on without resetting the code will not work to get your machine running again.

If the machine warms up as normal then run some copies and prints and see what happens. If it happens again then continue troubleshooting. If it continues to work then you might be good to go. However, if the error comes back within the next few days or months then you might need to further troubleshoot.
