Low Life on Fuser error for GCC Elite 21N

I am on my second GCC laser printer.  I retired my last one because it was eating to many fusers.  Now my current machine, a GCC Elite 21N has a fuser error.  The machine counter indicates that I have printed a litte over 25,000 pages.  GCC indicates that a fuser should last about 100,000.  I only print about 250-300 pages a month.  Several questions:   1. What would be the reason for the low fuser life?   2. Are reconditioned fusers reliable?  A new fuser for this machine is about $300. I can buy a new color laser printer for a little over 400.  It doesn't seem worth repairing unless a $150 reconditioned fuser works.  The Tech person at GCC tells me the refurbished fusers are junk and won't work.

SOURCE: Engine Fuser Low Heat Error

Basically the error message is telling you the printer cannot keep the fuser temperature at the proper temperature (too low). It could be a lot of things but typically it is due to a fuser assembly gone bad.

SOURCE: ML 3561ND engine fuser. low heat error??????

If you have annother tonner cartridge, (the old one will do)fix it and see if it works. If not there might be a component faillure related to the Fuser Unit. Also check for any Jam in the Pinions(Sometimes Samsung Laser Displays wrong MSG.)

SOURCE: Engine Fuser Low Heat Error

there is a 2 wire device (thermistor) that rests against the fuser roller to measure the temperauture. if the fuser is getting quite hot, suspect the thermistor to be either dirty (remove and clean it with alcohol) or defective. if fuser not getting hot, then suspect burned out fuser heater (look inside fuser roller for a long light bulb).

SOURCE: Samsung 1610 Leaser - Fuser Error

Fuser Error is a Fuser Error no matter what the printer is hooked up to.
Most likely the fuser unit is shot and will need to be replaced. Either the heating element or a sensor went bad and will need to be replaced.
Unless you recently tried to run a lot of pages and it over heated.
Then i would shut the printer off, wait 10-15 minutes and then turn it back on again. If you get the fuser error again, then your printer needs to be serviced.

Fuser error printer 50.92.11

This indicates low fuser temperature. Likely the fuser has failed. Power off, reseat the fuser and then start again, if error repeats replace the fuser. Be sure to upgrade the firmware on the printer to the current revision as HP has made some adjustments to the DC controller on this printer to extend fuser life.

How do you reset maintenance count on a dell 3130?

You don't. You can't.

When you install a replacement Transfer belt (it has it's own counter chip) that resets the transfer belt pagecount, and as a result clears any transfer belt life related warnings/errors.

When you install a REPLACEMENT Fuser (that has it's own counter chip) that resets the fuser pagecount, and as a result clears any fuser life related warnings/errors.

PLEASE NOTE - The fuser supplied with the DELL 3130 when new DOES NOPT have a counter chip - the fuser life warnigs are triggered by the printer pagecount. Installing a fuser from another printer (even if it has a ZERO pagecount WILL NOT reset the fuser pagecount (because the 'ship with' fuser has no counter chip.

I have a elite 12/600 need to change the fuser is there any instructions on how to

You need the "Network Printer 12 Usage Kit", IBM Part No. 63H3111 for 198 - 264 Volt. Number is different when you need one for 110 V. Fuser plus 2 rolls are included as well as a detailed instruction manual on how to replace the parts. Got it for roughly 50 EUR on eBay.

921 service Fuser error

921 Fuser Error indicates that the fuser unit failed to reach the standby temperature. Leave the printer off for at least 10-15 seconds before turning it back on. This gives the printer's engine board a chance to reset. Make sure printer is plugged in straight to the wall, bypass any surge device or power strips as this can cause a low amperage problem in your printer which can trigger a false fuser error. If this does not help, you'll probably need service on the machine since it deals with the LVPS, the fuser and the system board.

When fuser is hot (10-15 min. or so, print is smeared, has lines through it, and sometimes there is only the suggestion of an image. You can get a good image before the fuser heats up, but density is...

The thermostat on the fuser is failing. Toner requires the fuser to operate at a specific temperature range, too hot or too cold and it begins to stick to things it shouldn't and fall from things is should (like your paper)...in your case the thermostat is not stopping the fuser as it gets too hot. Not only will this eventually cause scoring and melting inside the printer, possibly fire...it means the printer only prints well as the fuser heats up through it's optimum range then you begin to get smearing.

Okidata c5200n printer 173:FATAL ERROR. What is this? How do I fix it?

In the fuser unit the Heat roller thermister indicates a low temperature error. Replacing the fuser unit will usually resolve this. Fuser units are consumable items bur for an early life failure such as this it may be worth contacting the manufacturer.

Fuser is bad...actually, the paper jam sensor is bad. can I use a fuser from a different printer

Yes, most likely they do. I don't believe there is much if anything that differentiates one toner from another other then the size of the roller and the shape of the cartridge. If these are the same and given that they use the same fuser, I would definitely try it.

An inch wide streak appears on the right side of a laser printer printed page.

If you can rub the toner off the paper it is the fuser.

fuser, the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the
medium. It consists of a hot roller and a back-up roller. After toner
is transferred to the paper, the fuser applies heat and pressure to
ensure that the toner stays on the paper permanently. This is why
paper is warm when it comes out of a laser printer.

For toner problem:

Do a half test as follows -
Print one sheet from the fold down tray, just as the trailing edge of the paper
goes into the printer open the toner door to stop the printer. Remove the toner
cartridge, are the marks on the paper that you can see in the printer? If they
are there the cartridge needs replacing.
