Quick answer

"Fuser Error, Reseat Fuser, Restart Printer." Xerox's documented steps are to confirm a genuine Xerox toner cartridge is fitted, then reseat the fuser. Reseating means removing and refitting a component that runs hot in normal use, so let the machine cool before opening it.

Hazard: This step carries a risk of injury or permanent damage. Power the printer off, let it cool, and check your model's manual before opening any panel.
