MP3003/4503/5503/6003 same fuser sleeve?

[copier tech]

I woner if my fellow UK engineers can answer this one, does the same sleeve fit all? For example D1464042 see link below.
Would be handy to only carry the one sleeve like on the "02" series

Ricoh D1464042, Fusing Sleeve, MP C3003, C4503, C5503, C6003- Original

Never tried it on a Metis, but with how fragile the fusers are I wouldn't attempt it.

The 3003/3503 is different from the 4503/5503/6003. Different lamps, thermistors and wiring (I believe the outer case has an offset notch that will prevent inserting the wrong one.
The lamps have a different wattage and connection.

I recommend you carry the LFR (AE020223) and stripper plate (D1494229), as these tend to wear down quite quickly. Also, we used to forget to put the old stripper plates back on the new UFRs, which didn't cause a jam straight away, but did cause a few return visits later down the line.

They seem to have better life than the "02" series

Mostly i'm replacing them due to the customer somehow damaging them!

Yes, they're about the same amount of effort to replace but the life has gotten much better on these. Surpassing 300k on sleeves no problem - only seen one ripped like the 02's were notorious for. I'm sure the steady stream of new firmware updates has helped to increase life lately as well.
