Hi @BAP9 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are getting the 50.4 Fuser Error on the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276nw indicates a problem with the fuser unit, which is responsible for melting the toner onto the paper. This specific error suggests that the fuser is experiencing a problem with the temperature control, often related to power issues. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

 

Power Cycle the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet.
  • Wait for at least 30 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the printer and the power outlet.
  • Turn the printer back on.

Check the Power Source:

  • Ensure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip or surge protector, as these can sometimes cause power issues.
  • Try a different wall outlet to rule out any problems with the current outlet.

Reset the Printer:

  • Sometimes resetting the printer to factory settings can clear errors. Consult the user manual for instructions on how to reset your specific model.

Inspect the Fuser Unit:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Open the printer to access the fuser unit (usually located at the back of the printer).
  • Check for any visible damage or signs of wear.
  • Ensure that the fuser is properly seated and that all connections are secure.

Firmware Update: Update the firmware on an HP printer

  • Check if there is a firmware update available for your printer model. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve hardware-related issues.

Replace the Fuser Unit:

  • If none of the above steps resolve the issue, the fuser unit may need to be replaced. Refer to your printer’s manual for instructions on how to replace the fuser unit.

Fuser is the most likely failure point so I would start there.
