Different product codes, so most likely won't work.

Same product family, different speeds. The 2030 an 2530 are limited feature models. They do not come with HDD and are limited on address book size, a couple of other options that require HDD.

Main difference appears to be memory. As pictured in the FAX installation portion of the manual, the D433 Fax option for the MP C2030 and MP C2530 only has one memory chip on the MBU and does not have the connector for adding additional memory onto the FCU.

The MP C2030 has its own Fax Option (Type 2530 Fax/EDP Code 414630) and the C2050/C2550 uses Type 2550 (EDP Code 414925). Good luck.
