Location of the control panel Control-panel layout ? Menu Stop Attention Data Ready 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Figure 3-2.
Control-panel buttons Button Function ( H ELP ) ● Provides information about the message on the graphical display. ( B ACK ) ● Backs up one level in the menu tree or backs up one numeric entry. ● Exits menus if held down for more than 1 second. M ENU ● Opens and closes the menus.
Control-panel lights Light State Indication Ready On The printer is online and ready to accept data to print. Off The printer cannot accept data because it is offline (paused) or has experienced an error. Blinking The printer is going offline. The printer stops processing the current print job and expels all of the active pages from the paper path.
Control-panel language If LANGUAGE appears in English on the control panel, use the following procedure. Otherwise, turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on again.
Selecting which tray is used for printing You can select how the printer pulls media from the trays. The following sections provide information about configuring the printer to pull media from specific trays.
Customizing tray 1 operation The printer can be set to print from tray 1 if it is loaded, or to print only from tray 1 if the type of media that is loaded is specifically requested. See the user guide. Setting Explanation TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY The printer usually pulls media from tray 1 first unless tray 1 is empty or closed.
Printing by type and size of media (locking trays) Printing by type and size is a way to be sure that print jobs always print on the media that you want. You can configure the trays for the type, such as plain or letterhead, and size, such as letter or A4, that is loaded in them.
Feeding media from tray 1 manually The manual feed feature is another way of printing on special media from tray 1. Setting MANUAL FEED to ON either in the printer driver or at the printer control panel stops the printer after each job is sent, allowing you time to load special paper or other print media in tray 1.
Selecting the correct fuser mode The printer automatically adjusts the fuser mode based on the media type to which the tray is set. For example, heavy paper, such as card stock, might need a higher fu.
Using the embedded Web server Use the embedded Web server (EWS) to view printer and network status and to manage printing functions from your computer instead of from the printer control panel. The following are examples of what you can do using the embedded Web server: ● View printer-control status information.
Information tab The Information pages group consists of the following pages. ● Device Status . This page shows the printer status and shows the life remaining of HP supplies, with 0% representing that a supply is empty. The page also shows the type and size of print media set for each tray.
Networking tab The network administrator can use this tab to control network-related settings for the printer when it is connected to an IP-based network. This tab will not appear if the printer is directly connected to a computer, or if the printer is connected to a network with anything other than an HP Jetdirect print server.

4 Maintenance Chapter contents Chapter contents............................................................................................................... ....... 57 Cleaning the printer ............................................................
Cleaning the printer Over time, particles of toner and paper accumulate inside the printer. This can cause print- quality problems during printing. Cleaning the printer eliminates or reduces these problems. Clean the paper path and print-cartridge areas every time that you change the print cartridge or whenever print-quality problems occur.
4. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe any residue from the paper path area and the print cartridge cavity. 5. Reinstall the print cartridge and close the top cover.
Cleaning the fuser Run the printer cleaning page to keep the fuser free of toner and paper particles that can sometimes accumulate. Accumulation of toner and particles can cause specks to appear on the front or back side of your print jobs.

Introduction This chapter presents an overview of the relationships among major components in the printer, and includes a detailed discussion of the image-formation system. The following systems are discussed: ● Engine control system ● Laser/scanner system ● Pickup/feed/delivery system ● Image-formation system Figure 5-1.
Internal components Figure 5-2. Cross-section of printer highlights the major internal components. Figure 5-2. Cross-section of printer 1 Top output-bin delivery roller 2 Fuser film 3 Laser/scanner 4 .
Timing Sequence of operation The microprocessor on the dc controller controls the printer operation sequences. Table 5-1. Operation sequences describes engine operations for each period of a print operation. Table 5-2. Power-on sequence describes each step of the power-on sequence.
Step Action 9 High-voltage control Detection of the presence of a print cartridge Cleaning of the transfer roller after the primary charging ac bias is turned on 10 Failure/abnormality check: detection of laser/scanner failure, fuser failure, and open covers 11 Communication with the memory tag Table 5-2.
Engine control system The engine control system coordinates all printer functions, according to commands that the formatter sends. It drives the laser/scanner system, the image formation system, and the pickup/feed/delivery system. The engine control system contains the following components: ● Dc controller ● High-voltage PCA Figure 5-3.
Figure 5-4. Engine control system circuit diagram ENWW Engine control system 67.
Laser/scanner system The laser/scanner system receives video signals from the dc controller and the formatter and converts the signals into latent images on the photosensitive drum.
Pickup/feed/delivery system The pickup/feed/delivery system consists of several types of feed rollers and sensors. The dc controller uses two motors and two solenoids to drive the rollers. Three media-detection sensors detect media as it passes through the printer.
● SR1, top output-bin delivery flag ● SR2, fuser-delivery flag Figure 5-6. Pickup/feed/delivery system 70 Chapter 5 Theory of operation ENWW.
Image-formation system Laser printing requires the interaction of several different technologies, including electronics, optics, and electrophotographics, to provide a printed page. Figure 5-7. Print cartridge diagram Each process functions independently and must be coordinated with the other printer processes.
Step 1: Primary charging Dc and ac biases are applied to the primary charging roller, which transfers a uniform negative potential to the photosensitive drum. Figure 5-9. Primary charging Step 2: Laser beam exposure The laser beam scans the photosensitive drum to neutralize negative charges on parts of the drum.
Step 3: Developing The developing cylinder comes in contact with the photosensitive drum to deposit toner onto the electrostatic latent image. NOTE The charges on the exposed area of the drum are shown as positive in Figure 5-10. Developing . The charges are actually negative, but they are more positive than the charges on the developing cylinder.
Step 5: Separation The elasticity of the print media causes its separation from the photosensitive drum. A static charge eliminator aids separation by weakening any electrostatic adhesion.
Step 7: Drum cleaning The cleaning blade scrapes the residual toner off of the photosensitive drum and deposits it into the waste toner case. Figure 5-14.
Print cartridge memory system The memory tag is a nonvolatile memory built into the print cartridge. The cartridge usage condition is detected as the engine controller reads or writes the data stored on the memory tag. The engine controller renews the information in the prescribed timing and reads or writes it from or to the memory tag.

Configuration page Use the configuration page to view current printer settings, to help troubleshoot printer problems, or to verify the installation of optional accessories, such as memory (DIMMs), trays, and printer languages. The content of the configuration page varies, depending on the options that are currently installed in the printer.
Supplies status page Use the supplies status page to obtain information about the print cartridge that is installed in the printer, the amount of life left in the print cartridge, and the number of pages and jobs that have been processed. The page also lets you know when you should perform the next preventive maintenance.
Embedded Web server When the printer is directly connected to a computer, the embedded Web server is supported for Windows 95 and later. In order to use the embedded Web server with a direct connection, you must select the Custom installation option when you install the printer driver.
● Supplies Status . Shows the life that remains in HP supplies (0% represents that a supply is empty). This page also provides supplies part numbers. To order new supplies, click Order Supplies in the Other Links area on the left side of the window.
Other links This section of the embedded Web server contains links that connect you to the Internet. You must have Internet access in order to use any of these links. If you use a dial-up connection and did not connect when you first opened the embedded Web server, you must connect before you can visit these Web sites.
To select status messages 1. Open Printer Status and Alerts in one of these ways: ● Double-click the Printer Status and Alerts tray icon, which is near the clock in the Tray Manager. ● On the Start menu, click Programs , click Printer Status and Alerts , and then click Printer Status and Alerts .
Control-panel menus Use the control-panel menus to control various printer functions. For example, you can use the RESETS submenu to reset and restore most of the factory default printer settings quickly. Not all of the available menus are described in this manual.
Resets submenu To find the RESETS submenu, use the control panel to open the CONFIGURE DEVICE menu. Items on the Resets submenu are used to return settings to the defaults and to change settings such as Sleep . The following section lists the settings and their possible values in the RESETS submenu.
Table 7-2. Diagnostics menu Item Values Explanation PRINT EVENT LOG No values available Press the S ELECT ( ) button to generate a list of the 50 most recent entries in the event log. The printed event log shows the error number, page count, error code, and description or personality that was in use when the event occurred.
Service menu (service PIN codes) Authorized HP service technicians can use this menu to gain access to printer settings that are reserved for service personnel. The service menu is protected by use of a personal identification number (PIN). When you select SERVICE from the list of menus, you are prompted to type an eight-digit PIN code.
Restoring the Service ID If you replace the formatter, the date is lost. Use this menu item to reset the value to the date that the printer was first used. The date format is YYDDD. Use the following procedure to calculate the date. 1. To calculate YY, subtract 1990 from the calendar year.
Printer resets and power-on modes The following sections describe the types of printer resets and power-on modes. Cold reset A cold reset unlocks menus that have been previously locked and sets all control panel menu items (including EIO settings) back to the factory defaults.
NVRAM initialization CAUTION Initializing the NVRAM resets the serial number, the event log, the page counts, and the EIO card (initializing the NVRAM resets service menu values to factory defaults). Use the service menu to restore the serial number and page counts.
Power-on bypass When the power is turned on the printer begins the power-on sequence. By performing a power-on bypass, you can cause the printer to resume the power-on sequence but not to recognize any installed EIO hard disk (skip disk-load procedure).
Test pages Printing test pages helps you determine whether or not the printer engine and the formatter are functioning. Engine-test page To verify that the printer engine is functioning, print an engine-test page. To print an engine- test page, press the engine-test-page switch on the formatter (see callout 5 in Figure 7-8.
Interface troubleshooting The following sections provide instructions for interface troubleshooting. Communications checks NOTE Communication problems are normally the customer's responsibility. Time spent attempting to resolve these problems might not be covered by the Hewlett-Packard product warranty.
Jetdirect page 5 1 2 3 4 Figure 7-5. Jetdirect page 1 HP Jetdirect Configuration If the EIO Jetdirect card is installed correctly and the printer completes its internal diagnostics, the I/O CARD READY status message prints. If communication is lost, an I/O NOT READY status message prints, followed by a two-digit error code.
Solving general printing problems In addition to the issues and solutions that are listed in this section, see Troubleshooting common Macintosh problems if you are using a Macintosh computer, and see Troubleshooting common PostScript problems if you are using the PS driver.
Print job is extremely slow. Cause Solution The job might be very complex. The maximum speed of the printer cannot be exceeded even when more memory is added.
The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. Cause Solution The printer cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it. Try a print job that you know works. If possible, attach the cable and printer to another computer and try a print job that you know works.
The printer does not respond when you select Print in the software. Cause Solution The printer is malfunctioning. Check the control-panel display for messages and lights to determine if the printer is indicating an error. Note any message and see Table 7-8.
Clearing jams Occasionally, media can become jammed during a print job. The following are some of the causes: ● Trays are loaded incorrectly or overfilled. ● Tray 2 or tray 3 is removed during a print job. ● The top cover is opened during a print job.
Cause Solution The print media is not picked up by the internal rollers from tray 2, tray 3, or tray 4. Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than 120 g/m 2 (32 lb), it might not be picked up correctly from the tray. The print media has rough or jagged edges.
Clearing jams in the print-cartridge area Jams in this area might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes or hands, wash them in cold water. (Hot water will set the toner into the fabric.) 1. Open the top cover. 2. Remove the print cartridge.
NOTE If the print cartridge is difficult to reinstall, make sure that the registration plate has been flipped back down into position and that you have pushed the print cartridge firmly into place. If the Attention light does not go out, jammed media remains inside the printer.
4. For tray 2, push the stack down to lock the metal paper-lift plate into place. For both trays, slide the tray into the printer. 5. To reset the printer and continue printing, press ( S ELECT button). NOTE If the Attention light does not go out, jammed media remains inside the printer.
3. If the media is almost completely visible from the top output bin, pull the remaining media carefully out of the printer. If the leading edge is not visible or is barely visible in the print-cartridge area, open the rear output bin all the way. To do this, push the bin door slightly forward and use your finger to disengage the grill at the base.
Clearing jams in the duplexer area This procedure applies only to printers that include a duplexer. 1. Remove tray 2 from the printer. 2. Push the green button on the right side of the front of the tray 2 opening to open the paper-access plate. 3. Reach in and pull out the jammed paper.
5. Reinstall tray 2. NOTE If the Attention light does not go out, jammed media remains inside the printer. Check the paper-feed and rear-output areas for jams.
Media handling problems If media is feeding incorrectly, use the information in this section to identify and resolve the problem. Multiple pages feed Table 7-4. Causes for multiple pages feeding Cause Solution The tray 1 separation pad is worn. Replace the separation-pad assembly.
Pages are wrinkled or folded Table 7-5. Causes for wrinkled or folded paper at the paper-path entrance Cause Solution The feed rollers or registration rollers are dirty or defective. Replace the affected rollers. The paper path contains foreign substances or dirt.
