There is a heater inside the fuser roller. (The fuser roller melts the toner (which is plastic) onto the paper) I have seen what you describe (lights dim) but generally only in buildings where the wiring is less than ideal. I have even had to move the laser printer to a differnt circuit sometimes when it causes computer crashes because of spikes. This again was in locations where wiring was completely inadequate. Something about computer installations in buildings that are >100 years old that always causes problems. tj
