    You don't have a deadline for the whole fusing unit in the service manual. But, from what I am remembering, fixing roller lower and paper exit roller should be changed at 200k, the fusing belt and sleeves 400k, gears and ball bearings at 600k.

      I'm almost at 2 million and I have only changed the belts.
      So I guess that is pusing it?

        You are very lucky if your fusing unit is still working after 2 million without changing anything else but fusing belts. It is pushing it a little too much, you should have ready gears, ball bearings, sleeves and sensors near by. Anyway, it is a wonder that all the gears are still working and still are in one piece.

              I'm not so lucky, I always have issues with the fusing units around every 200k.

                that sound very good but, what kind of paper stock is using on these machines please?

                anything cheap or specific provided paper?

                  There are three gears with a "one way clutch" in it, i would recommend you to replace them every 600k copies, otherwise you can run into c-3102 errors
