Brother Machines Using TN-750 Toner

**encorelaser@comcast.net** · 07-11-2016

Is anyone out there having as much trouble with the fusers on these machines as I am? Some of the machines that use this fuser are the DCP-8110, HL-5440, MFC-8950, etc. The fuser part number is Brother LU9809001. The problem starts with blurry prints or prints with a smudge, specially on the bottom of horizontal lines. After that you start getting fuser jams. On some of these models it is cheaper to buy a new machine than to pay for parts and labor. I have an MFC-8950 at a customers office that is still under warranty and Brother has sent a tech to replace the fuser twice in the span of 10 months. (They would not send the fuser to me to replace because I am not an authorized Brother repair shop).

Do you guys think that upgrading the firmware level might help the problem? As some of you might know HP had/has an issue with firmware on the P4015 family of laser printers.

By the way, if somebody knows a good place to get this fusers at a good price please let me know. I have several machine that the customers gave me that need fusers. If I can't find a decent price the machines are going to the trash!

This is true, but I have older Brother machines in the field that the fusers have lasted a lot longer. I find that the series of machines that I listed on my original post have fusers that fail prematurely.

I did a Google search for the fuser and don't remember Amazon coming up. I will try searching on Amazon directly. Thanks!

Amazon has the upper and the lower rollers, very good price. Was ordering from Alibaba, but had to wait 1-1.5 months to get em, Amazon! two days(how they do it?) Free shipping to boot.(prime)

Hi Tech28, thanks for the heads up but I could only find the lower pressure roller for HL-5440 and not the upper heat roller. Do you have Amazon's item numbers/part numbers for both rollers?

Hello, looking into my records, the lower ribbed for that machine I did get at Amazon, upper one I got from Alibaba. Sorry for that miss info on the upper.
