HP RM1-5461 Grounding Plate for P4014 etc.
The RM1-5461 is the grounding plate for the RM1-5460 registration assembly used in LaserJet P4014, P4015 and P4514 Printers and their successors the LaserJet Enterprise 600, 601, 602 and 603 use this part.
The LaserJet 4200/4300 series uses a different part.
The part is just a grounding plate, it equalises the voltage on assemblies it touches to ground.
It is improbable that this part will develop a fault.
If RM1-5461 does develop a fault most techicians will find a work-around.
We cannot conceive of why anyone would ever buy this part unless they were building a printer from bits which would cost about ten times the retail price. However somewhat blurry print after transfer but not on the printer drum might imply bad grounding of RM1-5460. A twist of the screw and/or a rinse in IPA should solve that.
The RM1-5461 ensures grounding in the vicinity of the registration assembly RM1-5460 and the transfer roller CB506-67903. Unless you manage to lose one it is unlikely you will buy one.

RM1-5461-000CN Grounding plate assembly - Located next to the transfer roller
The part might be known by it's short name RM1-5461, Its Canon form name RM1-5461-000 or its HP long name RM1-5461-OOCN. There don't appear to be any variants of this part.
RM1-5461 is used only in the LaserJet P4014 and M601 series. Similar functionality exists in all laser printers to establish a base charge on the print-media. A similar function exists in all printers but this particular part is unique.
Supply Situation
RM1-5461-000CN is a part number in the style HP seem to use to indicate parts made for them by Canon. There don't seem to be any variant part numbers nor have HP assigned one of their own numbers.
Prices for this part range from £1 to £5 - it is entirely a matter of the cost of identifying the part, running logistics and invoicing - and nothing to do with the cost of the part itself. Examining distributor lists suggest non actually stock the part but they do list it, so either HP suggest it as important or it has been requested.
Google list 125,000 results relating to this part numnber in July 2013. Once the Web community gets a part on a list it just keeps going - regardless of sense.
This almost completely pointless part had been manufactured by Canon, sold to HP and then carefully conserved in a Lin-Bin. At your order it can be shipped around the world by DHL and then delivered to your doorstep by UPS or DPD. It won't cure any fault we know of, but if it floats your boat let us know, We will sell it for about £3.50. This is a guideline, our prices change with distribution lists - see the catalog .
Stock numbers indicate there is not much call for the part.
