I belive you can but you have to change the heat lamps and the control sensors we had a young rep order the 220v verision and installed it in the 120v verision, Funny thing was it did work but when the copier would come out of sleep mode it would give a c500 error drove us nuts for a while!!! Not sure the cost would be worth changing everything!

You might try precision roller.com They carry most of these units at a competitive price!

Why are you need of the fuser unit? Is it damaged ? Or is it just that the machine is asking for it to be replaced ? If a new one is req'd because it is damaged/worn out the i'm afraid that KM is the only option as dealers will not be able to get them cheaper! If it needs it beacause the counters are up then have a deeper look on this site because i am sure that you might find some info to help you out Si

There is a pico fuse under the cover where the data connector plugs into. Its the portion of the fuser that kind of sticks out of the body on the exit side of the fuser.

Use either a 1/16th or 1/8th amp pico to replace that one. When it blows, the counter will be reset.

Voltage at 250 isn't necessary on these data lines. At most, 24V will be present. Both 125 and 250 will work fine.

If the fuse doesn't blow, you will get an error code related to that fuse and the counter will not reset.

and the last question , do I need some special tools to get to those fuses , or regular screwdrivers are ok ?

No, just remove the unit, a screw driver to remove the cover, a knife to take the shrink tube off, wrap the old fuse in parallel with the new, tape it up and close everything. Back into the machine and yer done. To remove the old fuser, two covers, one on the document tray just beneath the exit side of the fuser...single screw to remove that cover to allow you access to data cable connector. Single cover inside front door right hand side covers AC power to the fuser.
