Question about Xerox Phaser 6180DN Laser Printer
The printer does not want to print any more because it says the Transfer Unit is end of life. It takes approx. 30 days to get a new unit delivered, and the fuser will take even more (Fuser is "low" so needs to be replaced soon). I would like to be able to print while waiting for the unit, so I was thinking about resetting the counter. Can this be done? How do I do this? Thank you!

SOURCE: Paper jam at fuser
1. Faulty/blocked fuser exit sensor or faulty/blocked POB sensor. The printer thinks paper is present at one of these sensors when there should not be paper present
Verify that the fuser exit sensor is not stuck
If both sensors are working correctly, the most likely cause is the POB sensor is being blocked by the transfer unit. This can happen if the sensor is out of position, or if the transfer unit's white plastic baffle is out of position. Try bending the POB sensor bracket outward slightly to clear the baffle and retest.
