What does the fuser assembly do, and what does it need periodic replacement?

The fuser assembly is located at the back of your printer. After toner has been deposited on the paper, the fuser (which gets very hot) melts the toner that it adheres permanently to the paper. If the fuser is not cleaned properly and regularly, it could need to be replaced as early as 3,500 prints. Dirt and debris can damage the fuser by scoring its surface. If you notice a ring around the roller, it may be time to replace the mechanism.
