I was given a HP 2820 (all-in-one) but they said I鈥檒l need a new fuse. It pretty much controls the printing process. Not sure how or why (printers are one big question mark to me) but I do know that it is the only part that isn鈥檛 working. Does anyone know what they meant by that and what I am supposed to buy to make it work (%26amp;/or how to install)?HP Color Laser Printer fuse replacement? How to fix or what to get to fix?
The fuser unit is a drum that gets very hot and ';melts'; the toner onto the paper. If the fuser is bad and not heating, your images will ';smear'; when you rub your hand across them. The other possibility is that you used something that wasn't approved for a laser printer (like photo paper designed for an inkjet, labels that weren't designed for laser etc... and something melted onto the surface of the fuser. In that case it make leave streaks, or blotches on the paper.
On most newer HP laserjets, fuser replacement is easy. Just open the back of the printer, like there was a paper jam... Then there are usually 2 levers you flip, and pull the fuser out. slide the replacement in and you are done. (HP has online guides... go to their site and look up your printer model.)
You usually have to return your old fuser to be ';refurbished';. I've never had problems buying refurbished fusers directly from HP, or from partsexpress.com either... The final price is usually half what a ';new'; one is, and they truely are refurbished, not just ';inspected';... New heating elements, new surface cover etc...
