The image begins here.
Inside a laser printer, the laser scanner directs controlled beams of light across the photosensitive drums. This exposure creates the electrostatic image used in the toner-transfer process.
A correctly functioning laser scanner is an essential part of image formation. Replacing a confirmed faulty assembly targets the affected printing component while retaining the rest of the printer.
Diagnose first. Replace precisely.
This assembly is intended for repairs in which testing has identified a laser-scanner fault. A technician should check the printer’s error information, connections, and imaging system before recommending replacement.
Faint output, missing image areas, streaking, or color defects can also originate from toner cartridges, transfer components, electrical connections, or other parts. These symptoms alone do not establish that the laser scanner has failed.
This is the printing laser scanner.
RM2-1918 is an internal laser-imaging assembly. It does not scan original documents from the flatbed glass or automatic document feeder.
If printing from a computer looks correct but scanned files or copies contain defects, diagnose the document-scanning system before ordering this part. RM2-2416 is a document-scanner assembly and should not be treated as an interchangeable part number.
HP Model Selection Guide
Match the name on your printer.
The table below identifies models within the six HP families offered in this listing. It is a selection guide, not a statement that every assembly or hardware revision is interchangeable. Confirm the required assembly against your printer’s product number and the original part label before installation.

|---|---|
| M182 Series | MFP M182n MFP M182nw |
| M183 Series | MFP M183fw |

For an unlisted HP model, contact us with the complete model name, product number, and a photograph of the original assembly label before ordering. A shared series name or similar appearance is not sufficient to establish compatibility.
Canon compatibility requires confirmation.
RM2-1918 appears in third-party listings for certain Canon imageCLASS and i-SENSYS printers. A complete manufacturer-verified Canon fitment list has not been established for the assemblies offered here.
Do not select an HP model option for a Canon printer without confirmation. Provide the exact Canon model and the original laser-unit label so the required configuration can be checked before purchase.

- Follow the model-specific procedure. Route and secure cables correctly, seat the assembly fully, and reinstall all required covers.
- Check the completed repair. Perform the prescribed post-service checks and print diagnostic pages to assess image quality and confirm that the original fault has been resolved.
Check the supplied configuration.
Review the listing photographs and selected option for the assembly being supplied. Separate cables, mounting hardware, brackets, and additional printer components should only be considered included when explicitly identified in the listing.
