50.5 Fuser Error on LaserJet 4200 4240 4250 4300 4350

If you see this error code 50.5 on an HP LaserJet 4200, 4240, 4250, 4300, or 4350 series printer, the fuser installed in the printer is registering as an incorrect fuser for that model printer.

The problem is HP makes 3 different fusers which look identical, but the 3 fusers are not interchangeable between printer models. The outside plastic and metal frame look the same, but the inner wiring is different. If the incorrect fuser goes in, you can get a 50.5 error (or a 13.20 error in some cases) when you power on the printer.

The best way to determine which fuser you have is to pull the fuser out of your printer and check the barcode label on the fuser. If you don't know how to remove the fuser from your printer,it's not difficult -- see the removal instructions farther down the page.

Once you have the fuser out, check the fuser's barcode label for the part # and see if the part # matches with your model printer.

On the barcode you will find an HP part #, check the part# on your fuser to see if it matches in the list below. If you have any questions give us a call toll-free 866-352-7108 or local 608-831-2396, we can help you get the right fuser for your specific model.
