I got involved in the later stages of this. It turns out that the installing tech never powered off the MFP, and the counter never reset, now it won't.
I was hoping to find a reset in the service mode, or a microfuse in the fuser wiring harness, or an EEPROM. Alas, no luck. It's the most basic of fusers: two heaters, 4 thermistors, and a frame ground. Not even a paper feed switch. The fixing pressure sensor is mounted to the main body. The paper feed photointerrupter is mounted on the outer door.
Short of installing another new fuser, is there a way to reset the counter of this one? If it's a secret service mode, please send a PM.
