On this printer the drum (in the toner cartridge) and one of the fuser rollers
are the same diameter (75mm).
It looks like the fuser roller is danaged. If you open the back door and
examine the rollers you may be able to see the corresponding part of the
roller, otherwise you may need to remove the fuser to examine it properly.
