  1. Disconnect the printer from the power source.
  2. Allow the fuser area to cool for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Open the rear access door and remove any obstructions.
  4. Reconnect to a wall outlet directly, avoiding power strips.

Maintenance and Prevention

Follow paper weight guidelines strictly (60-90g). Avoid using stapled papers which can rip the fuser film. Regular maintenance of the paper feed path is recommended.
