hp m402 fuser
The HP M402 fuser is a critical component designed for HP LaserJet Pro M402 series printers, serving as the essential heating element that permanently bonds toner to paper during the printing process. This high-performance fuser unit operates at precise temperatures, typically between 356-410 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring optimal print quality and durability. The fuser assembly consists of two main components: a heated roller and a pressure roller, working in tandem to create permanent, professional-quality prints. Engineered with advanced heating technology, the M402 fuser maintains consistent temperature distribution across its surface, preventing common issues such as paper wrinkles or incomplete toner fusion. It supports various media types, from standard office paper to cardstock, adapting its temperature and pressure settings accordingly. The unit features an efficient warm-up time of less than 30 seconds from sleep mode, contributing to the printer's overall energy efficiency and productivity. Built with durability in mind, the M402 fuser is rated for approximately 150,000 pages, making it a reliable choice for both small office and enterprise environments. Its self-monitoring capabilities help prevent overheating and ensure consistent print quality throughout its lifecycle.
