HP 4240, 4250, 4350 Perform Printer Maintenance Message
The HP 4240, 4250, 4350 Perform Printer Maintenance Message appears when these machines reach 225,000 page count mark. When these  machines reach 225,000 copies the  control panel displays this message and  the PM parts should be installed at this time and the message needs reset per the kit instructions. Majority of people at this time call in for service because they are unsure of what to do. I typically recommend my customers have a technician come out, clean the machine top to bottom, and have them advice you of any potential problems that could arise in the next year.  The kits themselves aren’t really to difficult to install. If you have someone in your office that has some technical skill they should be able to handle the job.  The kits are designed to be user replaceable. Most come with instructions on how to reset the counter, part installation, and most, like the 4240, 4250, 4350 PM kit, don’t require any tools.

The kits come with a fusing assembly, transfer roller, and several feed rollers. I’ve seen lots of machines go over the 1 million mark on prints just by installing maintenance  kits when needed so don’t think just because  it has 225,000 copies its time to throw the machine away.  The machine has plenty of life left and should be well worth the additional investment rather than buying a new machine. Service companies love to mark up parts just like your car mechanic. So while you might want to have a tech come out and perform the PM it might be in your best interest to buy the part yourself and have them come out to install it to avoid unnecessary expenses. Below is a link to buy an affordable PM kit.  Like the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” so I tend to stick in the middle when I’m buying my maintenance kits, so I feel I’m not being overcharged and I’m not buying the cheapest thing on the market.
