Are there maintenance kits for every printer?
No, the OEM determines whether or not a printer model will have a maintenance kit. Some third party parts vendors will create their own maintenance kits based on historical research. Theses type of kits will have part numbers that are outside of the traditional OEM part number schema.
Do all parts vendors put the same parts and quantities in their maintenance kits?
No, that is why it is highly recommended to compare and verify kit contents. Some vendors will reduce the quantities or types of parts in kits to appear to have a lower price.
Can anyone replace a printer maintenance kit?
Many printer makers like HP have designed the printer maintenance kit to be user friendly. They will contain levers instead of screws to secure the fuser in place and be easy to get to. It is dependent on the model. Some kits are very difficult to replace and require special tools. Your parts vendor will be able to guide you.
Resetting the maintenance message.
Similar to the message you get in your car telling you to perform oil change some printers will require the user to clear the reset message that is displayed on the control panel. Most maintenance kits will come with step by step instructions on how to perform the reset.
Other fusers will have technology built into the fuser that will do it for you.
