    Magicolor 1690mf Fuser

    This seems pretty simple, yet I cannot get a definitive answer.

    I've got two magicolor 1690mf:
    One with duplex option, manufacture date November 2009
    One without duplex option, manufacture date March 2009

    The second one has a good fuser, so I take the good fuser and install it in the first one.
    Then no paper will pass. So I compare, and the fusers have different style exit guides. Seems simple enough: swap guides.
    Still no paper will pass. It's not just the guides. The whole one side of the fuser has different fins, guides, etc.

    But it's the same model, right? The newer one has a purple sticker on the right side, possibly denoting a version change?
    Then I thought maybe the duplex option kit might include a different fuser, since the exit guide on the fuser mates with the duplex entrance guide.
    Nope. The kit only includes the duplexer, no fuser.
    What if there was a different fuser for duplex, and a different fuser for simplex? Nope. Just one supply number: A12J012

    I'd like to order the right fuser the first time, but cannot get confirmation which fuser is which number. Any clues? =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    I know the fuser for the 1650 is different and has different guides. The 1690 has guides that curve toward the front sharply. make sure you dont have one for the 1650. The duplexer just hangs on the back. I bet you already tried reseating the duplex.

      The number is only one digit different for the printer version (A12J011). Could be ...

      I noticed that. And the fins are considerably taller. Yeah, tried re-seating the duplexer. It only really fits one way.
      Machine #2 was from the scrapyard and may not have the right parts. I think you hit on it. =^..^=
