    Can an IR2270 fuser be converted to a IR4570

    I have an IR4570 that's giving me an E0001 error and I was able to confirm (with the use of another fuser that will come ready but has frequent jamming issues) that it's definitely the fuser unit that's throwing the code.
    And I know this is probably a crazy question but I was wondering if I Can an convert an IR2270 fuser unit to work in a IR4570 copier? I have a machine that's down and am trying to get them up and running ASAP and I only have a IR2270 fuser on my truck right now.
    Thanks in advance

    No. You could use the fuser that has frequent jamming issues that worked and put in the fixing film from it into the one with the code if I understood your post correctly. The fixing films for one thing have different connectors so you can not plug it in, don't know of what other differences but there may be. Not interchangeable.

      I thought I had seen a thread one time about just cutting off part of the connector and it would fit....

        I had to do this on one occasion when the wrong fuser was ordered. You have to remove the sleeve off the good one to the old one. It's not efficient or particularly easy, and not too mention that the other worn parts are still worn. I don't recommend it, but in a serve pinch it could be done.
