Well... Last night I took the fuser out...
Didn't see a single wire running the length of the thing? Did I miss
something?
But there were four or five sets (4 each) of thin feeler type wires
sticking up, where they'd touch the paper. Many seemed to have bits
of schmutz stuck on their ends.
Good reason There ain't one.
The 'fuser' is a HOT surface to 'fuse' (melt the toner [finely ground
plastic] into the surface of the paper.
The 'charging wires' are next to the 'imaging drum' --- [photoactive
surface that receives toner to form image] [NO fingers on drum
surface

Our LaserJet 4100n is having some print problems -- light areas on

Good luck,
