Warranty
As with most mono printers refurbished cartridges may be a good option but
the Smart Printing technology to show toner level and automatically
re-order may not work.
The fuser in a laser printer adheres toner to the page
using a combination of heat and pressure. Although the fuser has a long
life it loses it's non stick properties with long use and the foil
sleeve will ultimately wear through and tear. At theat point it is
normal to replace the whole fuser.

Fuser 220 Volt for M2727MFP, P2014/P2015 -
RM1-4248-020CN
RM1-4247 is the
US 110 Volt version
Replacing the HP P2014 / P2015 / M2727MFP fuser is not the
easy job expected with larger printers. All the covers have
to be removed, so does
the fan, the duplex or face-down gear, several other gears and the
formatter. This problem was present in the earlier 1160/1320 design
that the P2015 is based on. If you don't have experience of technical
work on printers it may be better to get a technician to do the job.
Full instructions are given in the service manual.
We can provide a maintenance kit with a complete set of rollers and pads for the printer.
The fuser is available seperately.
The rollers and pads are easily changed types.
