HP LaserJet 4200 printer—torn fuser film service note
Some users of the HP LaserJet 4200 series printer have experienced printing problems caused by delaminated or torn film on the product’s fuser and occurring before the end of the fuser’s 200,000-page life. The cause of the tearing film is a flange component set at an excessively angled position on some units. This issue has been corrected, and all fusers produced subsequently will have a proper flange component in place.
Below is an example of print quality problems associated with the torn film. Other indications that the film is torn include pieces of the film coming out with the printed output or the fuser area of the product.
To determine if the fuser film is torn, lift the fuser tray guide and examine the film. Film in good condition appears as a solid gray roller, film in poor condition exhibits the film sleeve shifting to the left and shredded film pieces. If the film is torn, replace the fuser. When this issue occurs before the end of the fuser’s 200,000-page life, customers are not charged for the fuser replacement.
