Just a heads up on the Voyager fusers. I replaced one on a machine and in less than 2 days the customer called and said the machine started smoking and tripped a circuit breaker. Took the fuser front cover off and found that the wire clip that holds the bushing on the roller, fell off and arced across the electrode of the lamp. The fuser was toast and I saw a small part of the clip welded to the electrode. That was the only way I could tell what happened. Oh by the way, this is the second fuser that this happened too.

While the little known loop hole in State laws prohibiting smoking inside of businesses has resulted in a growing Voyager Fuser Smoking subculture. The AMA was quick to respond to the crisis saying ...smoking Voyager Fusers can result in general disastisfaction with Kyocera color, high stress levels, heart attack and even death.

Another heads up, the 4035E fusers are different from the others Voyagers, they fit into the machine but do not work.

I guess the next question is are they easier to keep lit???

I tried smoking one - but it kept going out.

Then I got a headache.

Did you get hungry after that?

Actually, the whole voyager line has made me somewhat nauseous.

Only the good stuff makes you hungry.
