1. Power off the printer.



2. For the Lexmark C74x Color Laser Printer:

   • Open the printer Front Door Assembly.

   For the Lexmark X74x Color Laser Multi Function Printer:

   • Open the MFP Top Access Cover.

   Warning—Potential Damage: To avoid overexposing the photoconductor units, do not leave the front door open for more than ten minutes.



3. For the Lexmark C74x Color Laser Printer:

   • Open the printer Top Access Cover.

   For the Lexmark X74x Color Laser Multi Function Printer:

   • Open the MFP Front Door Assembly.

   CAUTION—HOT SURFACE! The inside of the printer/MFP might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching it.



4. To remove the Fuser Assembly, turn the blue thumb screws on the fuser counterclockwise to loosen them.

   CAUTION—HOT SURFACE! The fuser is very hot. Be sure that the fuser assembly has cooled down by allowing the printer to cool for 15 minutes before removing the fuser.

   Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the roller at the center of the fuser unit. Doing so may damage the fuser.



5. Using the handholds on each side, lift and pulling the fuser assembly out of the printer/MFP.

   Note: Place the fuser assembly on a flat surface with the blue thumb screws facing you. (See second image above.) Also check for any broken or loose parts on the fuser assembly. If damage exists, a service call will likely be required to resolve the issue.



6. Reinstall the fuser unit. Align the fuser unit using the handholds on each side and then insert it back into the printer.

   Note: Turn the blue thumb screws clockwise to fasten the fuser securely. (See second image above.) Be sure that no obstructions remain inside the printer/MFP that would prevent the fuser from seating securely.



7. Close all doors and covers completely. Power the printer back on and observe the operation.

   Did the error message return?

   Yes: A service call may be required. Please contact Lexmark Technical Support or a local authorized service center in your area for additional assistance. No: If the '120.07' Service Fuser error does not appear on the printer display, then try printing a single-sided job. Should it print correctly, continue normal use. Pay close attention to the printer over the next few days, however, to see whether the issue returns.
