The message `Fuser Error` or `Self-Diagnostic` means either the fuser has reached the maximum temperature allowed or there has been an error in detection of the correct temperature during specific times of the printing process.
The 50.2 fuser error message is a “Slow Fuser” error, which is a time-out error where the fuser is not warming up fast enough. If you see the error message “50.2 Fuser Error” on your HP Color LaserJet 2820 or 2840 series printer, you probably need to replace the fuser.
A fuser unit is a pair of heated rollers within the printer that fuses the toner onto the paper being printed on. Toner particles are pulled to the paper to create the desired text and images as the paper passes the imaging drum.
Fuser Units
The coating wears off and causes the toner to not fuse properly. There are replacement rollers and sleeves on the market that you can replace and turn a non-functional fuser into a good working one. Rebuilding fuser assemblies is not a new thing.
00 Fuser error indicates you have an actual fuser failure and the fuser needs replacing. Fusers are a consumable part and they are the main component in a printer maintenance kit; it is expected over the life of the printer you will replace the maintenance kit several times.
The 50.1 fuser error message refers to a low temperature reading on your fuser. If you see the error message “50.1 Fuser Error” on your HP Color LaserJet 2820 or 2840 series printer, you probably need to replace the fuser. Fusers are a consumable part and are sold as part of a maintenance kit.
Look inside the fuser opening to make sure there is no debris or jammed paper. Remove any debris or jammed paper, if found. Hold the handles on each side of the fuser and reinstall it in the printer.
When a 50.4F. 00 error is displayed on the control panel, it indicates that there is an issue with the fuser or the power outlet where the printer is connected. Turn the printer off, and then back on to clear the error. Ensure that the power outlet, to which the printer is connected, is in good working condition.
50.2 error indicates that the printer is not heating up fast enough. This can be caused by a bad heating element in the fuser but can also be caused when the printer does not have adequate power due to overloaded circuits or being plugged into a power strip or surge bar that limits current flow.
The Fuser is the piece that fixes the toner on the paper. This, like any other consumable part, wears out with the regular use of prints, since it is one of the components that suffers the most due to its mechanical wear and overheating of its components, due to the high temperatures it must withstand.
Push up on the release buttons on both sides of the fuser to release the springs, and then pull the fuser out of the printer. Place the old fuser aside for recycling. Remove the new fuser from its box. Remove the protective packaging.
Printing made easy with an HP Fuser Kit
It lets you print up to 150,000 pages of dynamic quality before you need to replace it.
Streaking, smudging, black lines, and double images are all symptoms of a bad fuser. When you notice these printing defects and experience problems, such as paper jams or wrinkles, this is a good sign to replace the fuser kit.
50.2 error indicates that the printer is not heating up fast enough. This can be caused by a bad heating element in the fuser but can also be caused when the printer does not have adequate power due to overloaded circuits or being plugged into a power strip or surge bar that limits current flow.
